Worldbuilding Project : Day Four - Planetary Cataclysmic Events
Am I boring people with this? If people don't want me to crosspost this here just speak up. And of course if you have any comments also speak up. Feedback very welcome.
Once again the quoted text comes from 30 Days of World-Building by Stephanie Bryant.
Aha, now this looks more like my cup of tea. Physical features, pre-prehistoric cataclysmic events, mountains, lakes etc. Yup! I can run with this one I think. Of course it helps that I already have some ideas. :-P
Anyway Day Four - Cataclysmic Events
For 15 minutes, jot down some of the Really Big Land Features you want in your story and just think "what if that were made by...." Write down a couple of causes for those features and scars, and stick it all into your notebook. Which scars are slow-force scars (like plate tectonics), and which are fast-forces (anything that takes less than 10,000 years is medium-to-fast in geological scales).
