JUVEN BLOG: newest releases this week!
05/24: To Include or Not to Include — That is the Question (Worldbuilding Edition) by Stuti Desai
“I like to think of worldbuilding like writing an essay: every detail has to tie itself to an overarching plot, the same way evidence or details in an academic work support a thesis or finding.”
05/25: The Efficacy of Lewis Carrol's Worldbuilding in Jabberwocky By Ian Hebeisen
"Lewis Carroll constructs his fantasy world using a couple of different tricks. By breaking down Jabberwocky and analyzing the techniques Carroll implements, we can improve our own world-building and expand our toolbox as writers."
05/27: How I Use Notion for Worldbuilding and Pacing By Janelle Yapp
"Practicing poetry focused on the little things and their unseen importance can help you hone your fantasy and science fiction writing skills. By studying what makes a certain object unique and worth celebrating, you can begin to identify similar things in your own worlds."
05/28: Flash Fiction 101: What is Flash Fiction By Grayson Yount
"The best flash fiction changes my life. Full stop. If a story leaves me with wonder, dread, hope, or disgust, then it has done its work."
