#WritersCoffeeClub 10/30 How much worldbuilding do you do before the first draft?
Depends on the project. Taliesin needed a medium amount of world-building. Most of it was research into 6th century Britain. I had to construct Cantre'r Gwaelod more than anything else.
Jib's story was a daydream of mine since I was a teenager. I had several volumes of story in my head, including world histories, political alliances, trade and such before I tried a first draft when I was 19.
