Ahoy, Cap'n.I've found myself stuck in a creative rut and have come to ye in search of wisdom. I know I bring up King City & Multiple Warheads quite often, as they're part of my biggest inspirations, but I hope it doesn't get grating.Such

Ahoy!!

My process is pretty simple for those two books. King city is just playing off of a lot of tropes with my own life and living in NYC Seattle and then Vancouver BC as the background idea for how cities work.

With Warheads initially I planned on basing the history of the place off of Russia, but got much more into reading about Mao’s rise to power in China.

Something to consider is that you don’t have to create anything whole-cloth. you can just start with a place and then come up with more of the world as you show more of it. most of my work is done with a rough idea that I build on as I work. It’s ok to just jump in and start on the story.
