Believed to be an uninhabitable place, she quickly realises she is not alone.

![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.

![Those Who Survive Your Apocalypse [authortube]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vBz9d-WoBJY/mqdefault.jpg "Those Who Survive Your Apocalypse [authortube]
In this video I discuss what happens after the fall of your world as it enters into a post-apocalyptic stage. Keep in mind, this is just my view and your world will differ significantly depending on your apocalyptic event and whether there are any lingering threats (like zombies).
Creating a post-apocalyptic civilisation (or recovering civilisation) isnt a simple task either way so the points are fairly general but I hope this video helps you consider certain aspects of your post-apoc world building to help develop it.

![How to name fictional places [updated]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/x9H6xyyJRLk/mqdefault.jpg "How to name fictional places [updated]
I discuss how to name fictional places, alongside tips on how to world build! Its been a while since Ive visited the topic and added in a few more examples, alongside discussing how to go about naming regions (thanks to those who commented on the last one!).
My own world building focuses on my post-apocalyptic series, so the examples I provide are mainly from my own world.
