blubird513 asked: Hi there Modmad! My name's blubird513, and i'm a big fan of your work as well as an artist myself. Anyways I wanted to ask, how did you develop your skills in world building, especially in your work of TPoH? What advice can you give for that?
a lot of reading, a lot of writing, and a lot of patience- very much a thing learned via doing and getting experience on the ground floor. I wish there was a book about it I could recommend but if there is one I don’t know it! just read a lot, write a lot, and listen to the characters/follow instincts you have- and do that basically forever.
