This sounds great, Alexander. I’m in awe of such world building expertise. It’s one of the many areas where I’m completely clueless and just don’t have the patience.

Really fascinating to see into your writing process once again. Hope things on the home front are getting better regarding the flooding etc 👍🏼

Thanks, Dan. I think you are doing great at building a world one vignette at a time.

RE home front, we'll be getting there soon, I hope, thanks for asking.

Very impressive details, Alexander. As with Dan, I'm always in awe of writers and novels where there is such intricate thought going into the world. It's really impressive.

Great images and videos to go with it, too. I could see some full page spreads in the published book. ;)

"That’s where the fun is, isn’t it? Thinking about all these details, giving them substance, visualizing them, even if it’s only in your mind, or with a video." YES! Love the video. Visualizing this level of detail makes a wonderful studio for your mind to play in!

I want to be like you when I grow up. I am in awe of your brain’s capacity to create what is yet to be created in an easy to understand “possible” way!
