Why do it in a web world?
- A web world runs in a browser.
- It is accessible to anyone with a computer on the internet.
- Any story environment can be created there.
- Writers can have avatars that look like whatever they imagine.
- Writers can practice ideation or role-play.
- The cost of a web-world is tiny compared to that of buildings.
- Mobility impairment is irrelevant on the internet.
- Writer's workshop in your browser: Virtual field trip
- How writers could use a web-world. Meet in a minute
- Web-worlds as a place for storytelling
What will the participants do?
- Practice ideation (getting plot ideas).
- The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas to choose from.
- Practice understanding characters.
- (You have to speak for each character in your story).
- Practice planning a storyline (plot development).
- (You want the plot to be interesting and novel).
- Practice planning a scene (scene development)
- (Every scene has a goal. You want to reach that for the reader.)
- Practice acting out characters in role-play.
- (You are going to have to write for them in the story.)
- These practice sessions will be repeated over various kinds of stories.
Place exercises
