Day 5
Research and Worldbuilding.
Use the long outline you created on day 5 as a guide to gathering information about your world. Are there key locations in your story? What do they look like? What is the distance between the protagonist’s home and the new city they move to? How are older people addressed in your world?
Researching your novel is one of the most important aspects of writing. Consider researching organised blocks such as weather, cultural practices, governance, food and clothing.
Once again, focus on researching the most basic aspects of your world building and build from the ground up.
