Worldbuilding is critical to the creative process but can be frustrating and time-consuming. Hack the worldbuilding process by digging to the root of your setting.

The Roots of Worldbuilding: How a Single Principle Can Shape Your Entire Setting

Worldbuilding is critical to the creative process but can be frustrating and time-consuming. Hack the worldbuilding process by digging to the root of your setting. J. Von Tobel, author of Curse of Flame and Fated to be Monsters, will give you a technique to cut through the noise and help you create realistic, intriguing settings.

With a preponderance towards Dungeons & Dragons, sexy vampires, and Lovecraftian nightmares, it isn't surprising J. Von Tobel became a romantasy writer. A Chicagoan for ten years, he is an active member of the Chicago North Romance Writers and the Chicago Writers Association.
