World Building the easy way

Whether you're writing a fantasy or a general fiction novel, there's no escaping from world building. So what is it? The simplest definition I can find on the internet is that world building is the construction of a world in the realm of fiction. When confronted with creating a world, some authors balks at the idea of world building. After all, they've got their characters all fleshed out and the story has been mapped out. However, world building is a crucial aspect of story-telling. Without a believable world, your novel can flounder like an unstable pack of cards. However, world building doesn't have to be hard.

Introducing new comic - Ruben

I know the colours are bad and the dialogues don’t give too much away but I’ll explain it anyways. It’s about a guy, Ruben, who decides to cut off his engagement, throw the ring away and set up a very “special agency” in the heart of London in a fictional place called Grayeham. Did I forget to mention he has a very beautiful secretary?

Whilst, I've decided not to post the angels of fire Trilogy on Wattpad, there's a similar story (think of it as a spinoff set in a similar universe but with its own distinctive taste) called Finding Anita. Feel free to click on the link below: http://www.wattpad.com/100821145-finding-anita-blood-on-your-hands?utm_source=web&utm_medium=link&utm_content=share_reading&ref_id=2977843 What happens when you let a half demon child loose?
