For example, you can&#39;t have your main character taking public transit in the modern day city of Los Angeles, and then arriving somewhere in just five minutes. Heavy traffic wouldn&#39;t allow that.<br /><br />There are world-building software and platforms that can help you, he says, but sometimes all of the details they offer are too much. Instead, Chrome follows the just-in-time world building method. He adds in the fine details only as they are needed, so that he&#39;s not including a bunch of unnecessary details that can overwhelm readers.</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-68/WorldBuildingTipsandtheImportanceofAvoidingExcessDetails.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../WorldBuildingTipsandtheImportanceofAvoidingExcessDetails.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Short Stories, Science Fiction and Fantasy, video</div>
