Amazing video, thank you so much! This is very helpful :)
Comment from : Milalalou

I think the last two tips at the end of this video were definitely not the tips that we as writers get to hear often from these online resources brNo 1 being finding a critique partner for the worldbuilding process, so they can point out if something is a miss, illogical or irrelevant This tip was also given by one of my author friends, Victoria Liiv- author of Angels Around Us [women's fiction] & Other World [fantasy fiction], while taking her interview brThe second tip is also precious as gold that I've never heard of and it's definitely going to be helpful ❤

I plan to create a world that I can add to endlessly I'm not an author, DM, or anything like that, I just want to use world building itself as a hobby Your template is very helpful for me to get started :)
Comment from : Muneshyne

once again, Thank you SO MUCH for all of this helpful content!brI (finally) started putting my story to paper a couple months ago and accidentally created a whole new world ( Cue Aladdin soundtrack); but between your videos and Chris Fox's videos, I've been able to organize my thoughts and information Thank you Ellen!
Comment from : Kent Kirby

Currently in the process of making a immersive worldbuilding bible Which also sorta acts as an outline???brbrEven though the world I'm currently creating is an apocalyptic sci fi Earth Stuff like religion, fruits, medicinal herbs, animals and education are going to be quite helpful :D
Comment from : MattTale

Honestly every video on your channel is gold, Ellen I hope your plans to make more go wellbrbrI'm sharing your videos every chance I get

Thank You!
Comment from : ElJorro

Thank you so much for this list!
Comment from : A New Chapter

The list you made is the perfect thing I need! Though I feel like I might be one of the very few who only worldbuilds for the sake of worldbuilding, no novels, D&D, orrrr anything like that :,)
Comment from : Xander Shroom

Loved your video!
Comment from : Prince Kalender

Very helpful, very well done, very genuine! Thanks 3 years on!
Comment from : Entertaining Pudding

Focusing in on worldbuilding "too much" isn't inherently a bad thing While it might prove to be a disraction from finishing your actual novel, all that work isn't for nothing You can use it to create new companion stories set in the same world, using other information you developed about the world that might not be featured in the first/original story Also!! To add on to yout first tip about logic-checking your worldbuildingthere are actually entire facebook groups centered around worldbuilding, full of people who just create worlds for the sake of creating them and many of the people in these groups actually love to talk about the tedious logistics that many writers and artists might find "boring" in the worldbuilding process So you could join a few of these groups and get feedback from people there as well

A lot of this isn’t relevant to me bc I’m not writing a story off of my world (at least, not at the moment), I’m just world building for fun, but these are great tips to keep in mind for the future xx

Has anything happened to the site? It's not reachable :(
Comment from : Elena

Is it a good idea for my bible to include timelines of the events in my story? Because it currently does, and I've realized that my plotlines should be turned into "day 1, day 2, day 3", with color-coded text for each plotline (they're currently "day x: event of plotline A, event of plotline B, etc"
Comment from : evfan13

I disagree with the notion that you're just spinning your wheels by adding details that may not be used in the actual story It ignores the crucial element of great world-building which is the perception that there is more beneath the surface than what is introduced in the story With a fully fleshed-out world-building bible that perception is true and leaves room for those details to be included in future stories Good world-building requires time, patience, hard work, and lots of details
Comment from : Phillip Bonnes

This is the first vid of yours I've seen I'm so glad I found your channel!!
Comment from : vampbat_studios

Thank you for the template
Comment from : Donney

This is so helpful! Thank you so much for the template! I didn't think about any of this beforehand so all of my worldbuilding info is scattered through the episodes (I made an audiodrama) Since I'm going to try and novelize it, now I have to go back and jot everything down so it stays consistent T_TbrbrI was wondering, though, do you have a favorite program to use? Do you use Evernote or Scrivener? Do you print out your stuff and keep it up on a bulletin board or in a binder?
Comment from : J DeVore

Thank you for your content, it is very helpful and the production quality is high Easy to watch and easy to listen to while I'm working!
Comment from : Jordan Blythe

This was beneficial to consider even though I’m not writing sci-fi/fantasy Using/drawing maps is also helpful for me to really bring the geographical aspects of my story to life and place myself in the setting Thanks! This is a wonderful channel I wish my school day teachers would have been as educational
Comment from : Deidra JNay

Thank you very much! Your video has helped me a lot! Keep with the good job :D

I'm impressed how many ads I was willing to tolerate to reward this information, thank you

Great template, thank you!
Comment from : M Nola

Great video and super helpful! Glad I watched this and didn't just dive right in to the template Thanks so much for sharing all this knowledge!
Comment from : Anna Marie

I have been binge watching all of your videos and it has opened my eyes to the mistakes I have been making as a newbie writer, and to the ways I can fix those mistakes Thank you so much for these treasure troves!
Comment from : Z S

2:22 yep
Comment from : Satan Lover13

So first: outline the book (or series), so that it's easier to see what is important to be researched to add in the Worldbuilding Bible to prevent working out parts of the world that will never make it into the bookbrFunny, I had no idea the term for this was Bible, but it makes sense I typed in 'Writing organizing story world' into YouTube and the result screamed 'Worldbuilding Bible' to me, with this video on top
Comment from : Leto85

Thx, I’ll be using this in dnd campaign
Comment from : Ian LaChey

Thank you! I thought I was OK at this after years of gamemastering for RPGs And Im OK But I m8ssed so much
Comment from : Ogre Has Layers

Oh, it's fun! It's almost more fun than the actual story What should I do? >__<
Comment from : Bonny Fram

Thank you, for your video I am not writing a novel but your advice is useful for a gamemaster of a RPG as well
Comment from : Darkavatar

Love your videos So helpful Thanks!
Comment from : Psych Chick

Why on earth is it called a bible?
Comment from : Kevvo Lightswift

Totally unrelated, but this was uploaded on my birthday :)
Comment from : Thymic

I might use the template and fill it in for my real life, although if I compared it to my own novel's it might be depressing
Comment from : Cynthia

Why do you describe yourself as a novel editor and not a Youtuber now? Seems like you're big enough
Comment from : Cynthia

I've been binge-watching your videos today and while all of them have been very helpful this one, at least for me, has been the most helpful Thanks for the worldbuilding bible, I like the organization it allows me to have and it actually has made me aware of an area or two that I hadn't thought of! I look forward to watching more!
Comment from : Chris Hollier

Tip two Tip two is sooooo important
Comment from : Selisu1

hi Ellen, thank you for the tips! I wanted to ask you if it's necessary to fill out each and every detail in the bible template or just the things that strike you as important? What if eg medicine doesn't play a significant role in my novel?
Comment from : Ti Ko

The template is inavaluable to me, just imagine i give you all the likes besides my alloted onebrThank you so very much 🙂🐣
Comment from : Librarian of Hope

I’ve been creating a world for four years now, and i never knew how common of a dilemma it is to become stuck within the creative stage Thank you for showing me that Im not an odd one out and that everyone finds their own method of world building :D
Comment from : Lambda Weapons cache

Thank you I've been having a hard time writing a story involving time-travel and I think it's due to the fact that I haven't built a "bible" of sorts with the completed timeline in which these characters are jumping back and forth in Right now it's all spaghetti
Comment from : JRO Toons

this is so much what I needed ATM! thank you a mil!
Comment from : Filipe Passos-Coelho

I just wanted to let you know that you have a major plot hole
Comment from : Anony Mouse

The problem, as you identified, with this for me is its so easy to get sidetracked with world building, rather than actually writing, and also the backstory starts determining the plot, rather than the other way around
Comment from : Tomorrow We Live

Love all your videos, very inspiring advice, thank you for the time you put on sharing your knowledge ❤
Comment from : Laguz Lykamo

lol i am a reaaaallllyy bad writer but i do love making worlds i use a software called dokuwiki, it allows you to make a wiki like site so it's really good for organization you can use the "bible" things as a guide to the pages of the wiki! i love it, thnx
Comment from : Mateus Oliveira

I’ve just discovered your channel and, having recently decided that I’m going to stop procrastinating and finally attempt to write a book, it is just so insightful! Thank you ☺️💜
Comment from : Lucy A McLaren Author

I know I'm super late to watching this video but this has been a fantastic resource Thank you so much!
Comment from : Taema Nai

THANKYOU!!!!!!!!
Comment from : kevin jack

Great video! Thanks!
Comment from : Mr Witty

I need to do this for a future series i've been thinking of doing It's set in modern times but will require some heavy world building stuff I should at least flesh it out so I don't write myself into a corner or contradict myself
Comment from : Gaia

As a P&P DM this advice helps a lot Thanks
Comment from : n0la

Your videos are so helpful and just seem to make my head fill with new ideas, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge :)
Comment from : Eve

I think I might include a general overview of major events in mine
Comment from : Yegr

It’s too bad I’m only 18 because you seem like you’d be the perfect girlfriend for me!
Comment from : Jared Jams

But the most important point: How do I know what's important enough to put into it?brbrI tried spreadsheets, wiki-like programs, plain text But I can't find the particular information when i need it Because it didn't seem an important detail when I was in the zone and didn't want to get out of it, so I have to rifle through the text anyway to find it
Comment from : ampeyro

I use a world-building bible for my illustrations :) Its basically the same thing
Comment from : Audrey Cordova

Oh god I need help I'm currently creating a "database" on Microsoft Notebook of everything to do with the universe my world is set in And I'm loosing the will to live
Comment from : Joel Wilson

This is actually super useful for DnD campaigns! I'm going to use it for a homebrew I've been working on for some friends! :D
Comment from : Liam Flynn

I created a town in California Its not really known by alot of people This town has a mixture of different cultures so their traditions are different cultural traditions in one
Comment from : Maybe A Human

"This is not fun" I think it's the best part :P Either way, great list and tips for those who are struggling with their world building ^^
Comment from : Veronica Di Dato

One thing you said I don't like is to not build up the entirety of the world in detail of the details aren't relevant to the plot To me, part of creating a believable world is to ground it in little details By spending hours and hours on the world alone, you create an entire universe that can be believable and that your audience can keep going back to to enjoy While you don't have to mention everything if you're doing a written novel, thinking about the world your story takes place in can help you apply your characters and story to said world
Comment from : Sebastian Sean Crow

I like your long hair! 😍 Thanks to this, I am really having a hard time to build my fantasy world It's damn hard, but I found myself keep thinking of it Haha I think, I really love writing
Comment from : MoonBlaire

Thank you, I never thought to compile a compendium of world building elements, now question what if I wanted to go into exhaustive detail for the case that I say want to not only write these elements into a story but use them in a D&D session or even use/reuse some elements in laterbr or prequel installments of my story?
Comment from : ampethosguy

I wrote a fantasy world atlas that ended up being 120 pages, before I started writing
Comment from : Poisonedblade

I do it in advance, Waaaaaaay in advance I work out the story at the same time, too, all in advance If I don't, there will probably be plot holes
Comment from : John Hooyer

Ellen do you have a boyfriend ?
Comment from : Caleb Lambright

I'm really glad I found this channel Good, simple, and surprising tips in all the videos I've seen so far Definitely going to visit the website when I have a novel to edit
Comment from : Will D Skies

Is there an opposite to subscribe?
Comment from : Alec Fowler

Awesome brbrAgain, I'm mostly just reading these, so as to work on making the worst possible story ever Like research in how to squeeze the terrible into every page and chapter Because I have a weird thing for BadFics
Comment from : Katrina Payne

I just read a series I loved recently (can't remember the name or the author, though I love a lot of series ;-) ) and it really suffered from one of the pitfalls you mentioned which was that as the individual books and the series went on random spells or capabilities or technologies would be randomly introduced as a sort of deus ex machina that would save the main characters or suddenly create a new drama or challenge It was very jarring The author even used an appendix to explain them!! Give me a sec and I will look on goodreads Burning Sky by Sherry Thomas and sequels
Comment from : Mac an Mheiriceánaigh

Honesly I love seeing what people's storyworld bibles look like You can learn a lot about how someone thinks and writes from their SWB I highly recommend seeing how other writers organize their information
Comment from : Kntrytnt

At about 1:10 Ellen mentions that story bibles provide a lot of opportunity to get kind of stuck in the world building phase THIS IS b1,000/b TRUEbrbrI started one back in 2015 (it's September 2017 as of writing this) and I add more and more to it every week, while I have basically dropped the story Making one has easily been the most fun I've had writing a story, but just don't get caught in it like I didbrbrOn the other hand, if someone wants to buy a story world with over a thousand pages of information added to it, hit me up ;^)
