In this brief video I touch upon everything I tend to consider when creating a post apocalyptic world in terms of weapons and what will be in it. From the apocalyptic event which causes the issues and freezes progress for weapon development, alongside finding stashes of old guns. Alongside this, knowledge can be forgotten, or progress can be furthered or altered in direction (something that can easily allow us to add that little bit of sci-fi flavour if it hasn't already).
Anyway, though I say it's more in-depth, it really is still just a bit of a ramble from myself over how I tend to think about and consider these things. Hopefully it might spark something for you :)

I finally complete my first draft of Disarray with the help of writing sprints and having the camera switched on to focus. It was the goal I set out to achieve at first by June, with the extended date of July, so Im happy to have finally gotten to finishing my novel! Next step: Edit it to pieces while keeping up these writing vlogs and sprints for authortube.
Apologies for the light change, the sun decided to disappear for a bit!

![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.
