He recommends weaving the details of the world into what your characters are experiencing. Another mistake he sees is writers including details that aren&#39;t necessary to the story and don&#39;t move the story forward. Last,&nbsp;Morris says he sees too many writers doing information dumps and ignoring inconsistencies that should be left out, as they don&#39;t serve the story and sometimes confuse the reader.</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-68/CommonWorldBuildingMistakesWritersMake.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../CommonWorldBuildingMistakesWritersMake.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: Mystery – Thriller – Suspense, fiction, Science Fiction and Fantasy, Teen & Young Adult, Romance and Erotica, Women’s Fiction, video, Historical Fiction</div>
