Mapping – Thinking Bigger
Todays writing tip, and this is from experiance. When you build a world map for your sci-fi or fantasy story always think bigger.
When I built my world I started of sketching a city, then a country and then I expanded to continents. This makes it more realistic, where you story takes place is only the tip of the iceberg. When you start to introduce more world you can get a better idea of where civilisation started and how it expanded, also why some places arn't yet discovered and in turn you may get plot ideas.
So there you have it. Always think bigger.
