A brief talk on how I approached my world building. There is no wrong or right way for it, but I prefer to try and build my world up first, and then create my characters for it.

![Living in a Post-Apocalyptic World [authortube]
In this video I discuss some elements of a novel for when writing for post-apocalyptic books. Thinking about your common cause can help you plan and shape your world, with the aim of developing realistic fiction. Of course, this all takes time, but I believe is a necessary part of the process when writing in the post-apocalyptic genre! Again, this is only my opinion and advice, so take it all with a pinch of salt - I just hope it helps with your creavite process when making and shaping your characters, book and world.
