Hey there, Engleverisans! 📚✨
Welcome back to another exciting episode where we dive deep into the art of world-building! Today, we’re exploring the fascinating worlds of Yellowstone and Panem. Buckle up, because we’re about to embark on a journey through time and space! 🚀
Catching Attention: Selling a Story World
Imagine this: You’re pitching your story, and you start with a bang! 💥
“What if I told you that the world you know is just a tiny piece of a much larger puzzle?”
Intrigued? You should be! Let’s talk about how defining your story’s location can make or break your narrative. 🌍
Yellowstone: A Tale of Montana
In Yellowstone, it’s all about Montana. Whether it’s Montana today or Montana in the past, the definable location is what sells the entire storyverse. 🏞️
Broad Geographical Boundaries: Think beyond just the immediate setting.
Historical Context: How does the past influence the present?
Panem: Beyond the Borders
Now, let’s dive into Panem from The Hunger Games. Ever wondered what happened to the rest of the world? 🌐
Panem’s Focus: We only hear about the leftover United States.
Unexplored Territories: What about Russia, China, the Middle East, Europe? 🤔
Imagine if the story expanded beyond Panem. If we ventured into China within the Hunger Games universe, wouldn’t you be eager to read that book? 📖
Your Turn: Expanding Your World
I’m sure many of you have a book or a screenplay where you can expand your world. Think about where you could take your story next. The possibilities are endless! 🌌
Tips for World-Building:
Define Your Location: Make it vivid and real.
Expand Geographically: Don’t limit yourself to one place.
Historical Layers: Add depth with history.
