Day 43

Sigh. I need figure out how to make worldbuilding not a chore. It's supposed to be the fun part, right? I guess doing it on the fly, while I'm trying to get word count, is partly why it feels so onerous. I don't mind it so much when I'm chilling out and ideas come to me. But sitting down to do it on purpose feels like homework. For me, the story comes first, and the world will shape itself to serve the story. Building a world and then thinking up a story to fill it feels backwards.
