Let's Build a World: Day 21 - Flora and Fauna

[ladyseishou]

If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people.

- Confucius



It's Day 21 for Nano Writers's Let's Build a World. Read over - Flora and Fauna - from Stephanie Bryant's 30 Days of Worldbuilding. Crack open those notebooks and check out today's exercise:

Spend fifteen minutes or so sketching out some of the animals and plants your characters might encounter in your world. If you want to add a little fun, toss around some plot hook ideas while you're at it-- an unfortunate bite from a poisonous beetle can really throw a wrench in the Hero's Quest, and an unruly beast of burden might give some comic relief to your storyline.
