Muse & the Marketplace 2018

Building a fictional world that stretches across works is its own particular challenge. In addition to paying attention to the usual narrative elements (plot, character, sentences, etc.) the writer of this kind of work must pay close attention to the shape and feel of an additional element: a world that must be both strange and recognizable. We will look at recurring characters, recurring locations, and recurring objects, as well as setting as "character."
