Uploaded August 2023 | Updated September 2026, 7 hours ago
Hi. Yeah, so some things came up and life threw a curve ball at me, then when I was down it threw several more. But here we are though, almost back into it. Good stuff.
I'll be attempting to get into a routine again and back into the sphere. Anyway, what have you been up to?

![Worldbuilding Notes - Keep Focused On Your Plot [authortube]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rsQv5Q20nPM/mqdefault.jpg "Worldbuilding Notes - Keep Focused On Your Plot [authortube]
I go over some of my worldbuilding notes in this video - mainly involving where you should draw the line and what you can do to find it. Before drawing a map myself, Id spent far too long thinking of finer details and settlements irrelevant to my series... which wasnt a fantastic use of my time.
Hopefully this video will be of some use to people and indie authors starting to build their fictional worlds, so they can develop the crucial parts and quickly get into their writing!
Also that Ko-Fi coffee for Richard Holliday should have been a number seven for his donation... not six!

![My Rough Plan For March [authortube]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sJ41AC7IIfo/mqdefault.jpg "My Rough Plan For March [authortube]
With the reasonable success of my Feb plan video in regards to accountability, I thought itd be best to do it again for March (it will keep me reading at the very least).
So this month I plan to read Foundations, by Richard Holliday - which Im very much looking forward to. Alongside this, I also plan to keep on editing Disarray (and hopefully get the majority of the smaller things done).
And lastly, another video on YouTube relating to Worldbuilding tips and tricks, though in my pursuit of wanting to get better at video production - everything takes so much longer to plan.
