I love worldbuilding! From the writing craft perspective, but it's so applicable here. I often try to get writers of other genres/forms to understand that worldbuilding is for *everyone* not just the spec fic folks.
It really is! I try to get poets and non fiction writers and literary fiction writers and historical fiction writers to appreciate it! Just because you’re writing a literary fiction novel based in America, I haven’t been to that town. I don’t know what it’s like there, what your characters lives are like. Build the world for me!! Worldbuilding isn’t just fancy magic and dragons (as wonderful as those are.)
Obsessed with your way of seeing astrology, always 🌺☄️ I am holding hope of investing in your subscription very soon because you are worth every penny!! I love the idea of world building vs. manifestation, it speaks to my Aquarius Mercury-Mars heart. Sending you lots of love under this full moon ♥️
I love all of this, it really speaks to me. My inner / creative world has shifted massively since February with the discovery of poetry, and also with the realization that my novel is actually far bigger than I initially thought. As for the rest, well there is sooooo much going on. I’m going to read more of your posts, Jeanna!
This is super timely for me, I’m honestly a little bit spooked 😅
Worldbuilding in the speculative fiction sense is something I desperately want to pull off but tend to shy away from - I am trying to push past that hesitation in my writing and just go for it in my current WIP.
I love the framework of worldbuilding the life you desire - for me it conjures up a sense of both ambition and imagination and feels more iterative than ‘manifesting’. It feels more playful, too!
Thank you Jeanna! Weirdly synchronistic: I was using the term “world-building” in a stern talk I had with myself last night…I guess it was right on time! 🌎🙏🏼

This has given much food for thought. I love the distinction you make between manifestation and worldbuilding. Ty! 🤍
Azur, thank you! As ever, the admiration is mutual!
