Whether it is a Ethnostate under one race, or a multi-cultural city and civilization, you need to work hard to understand how races change the culture. Whether it is a friendly rivalry, to war, to discrimination - these need are things you need to consider. And Ethnostates can have their own set of problems - decay and destruction can happen quickly.
Economy world building can be a very important part of storytelling, it can breed all kinds of stories - when you start working out the details.
Remember, every person seeks to master their chosen craft, and city's with great artisans will see many people who will want to trade with them. All of this can lead to all kinds of conflicts between people.
You should take time out to think about what each city/race/empire brings to the table in you world.

If you didn't realize that the entertainment and media is shit, now you do. For the longest time indie writers, game developers and artists, like myself, tried to change things for everyone. But with Facebook and Twitter shadowbanning us and burying our content, things have been slow going.
Since 2016, I've been trying to find the right platform for a creative community and many just suck monkey balls. It's almost impossible to find people to connect with.
But Parler, IMO, is the platform for all creatives. Finding artists, writers, comic book creators and game developers is easy. And they can find you. I get insane amounts of interaction every single day.
It is far better than any other platform I have been involved with.

[Read SCA2 - The Heroic Journey of Aloy](https://amgampro.wordpress.com/2020/05/12/static-character-arc-2-aloys-journey/)
I continue my series looking at how Aloy's journey emphasizes her importance in the world of Horizon Zero Dawn. The Protagonist is always the one who solves the problem in the world.
World Building Episode 1 - Solar/Lunar cycles
Welcome to my new series on world-building. I hope this series will give you enough materials to make you think about how world building can make or break a story. Stories like the Cyborg Tinkerer to the Outer Worlds failed because they didn’t properly create their worlds.
But amazing stories like Horizon Zero Dawn and the Witcher embed the world-building right into the story so seamlessly, it makes it amazing.
Today, I look at how the sun and moons can impact on the sci-fiction and fantasy stories. I hope you enjoy it.

World Building episode 2 - Geology and Geography
The next biggest contributor to world building is geology and geography. These forces can have profound impacts on climates and ways of life. It is very important to think about these two factors so you can create a remarkable world that has conflicts on many different levels. Sure, man vs nature is a popular thematic conflict, but what about man vs man and nature - massive forest fires are being used as a weapon against a kingdom, or floods, or droughts.
There is so many things we can do to make the stakes even larger. Taking time out to build your world properly can have a huge impact on your story.

On Friday morning, I started a three pronged attack against Cancel Culture.
First, I wrote a blog of many authors on Minds who have been snubbed because of their conservative views. They no longer get the sales and reviews they use to get because the leftist assholes control most of the centres of culture. Buying their books helps them out.
Second, I created the Authors of Mind group to help organize people getting feedback for their works in progress to make the best books they can produce.
Third, I created a post to organize book reviews. Authors can ask readers to read and review their books to help get their books to the 50 review threshold where Amazon promotes their books in search results, because they are 'popular'.
With these initiatives, we can start taking back the media landscape by promoting people with our values. They can't cancel us if we don't allow it.
