I’ve done that before, too.

Hi! This has probably already been mentioned, but Story Embers has a worldbuilding questionnaire. Here’s the link that shows the resources that Story Embers has: https://storyembers.org/resources/

I’m a wannabe Sci-Fi writer…in other words, I’ve started writing at least one Sci-Fi stories, and I feel like it’s “my” genre. A lot of the stories I start to write/think about writing are kind of crossovers between Sci-Fi & fantasy.

@blueberry I subscribed to your channel – looking forward to checking it out!

@kayla-skywriter Hmm…that’s interesting. Thanks, your profile picture is pretty, too 🙂

@ericawordsmith Oh my goodness, yes!! I love that idea! It’s almost like we’re writing an episode of Once Upon a Time. Also, I’ve heard the “They’re Taking the Hobbits to Isengard” song – did you know they have a ten-hour version? LOL!

I’m cool with starting a new one! I can join in this time!
