Deep Dive: Fantasy Worldbuilding with Dahlia
Ready to build a fantasy world that feels rich, real, and unforgettable? In this hands-on workshop, I’ll walk you through my personal process for creating compelling fantasy settings—and show you how to bring them to life using Sudowrite’s powerful features. Whether you’re starting a new project or deepening an existing world, this class will give you the tools and strategies to craft immersive settings that serve your story without overwhelming it.
We’ll begin by covering the foundations of fantasy worldbuilding, from naming conventions to the three core areas I use to shape consistent and believable worlds. Then, we’ll dive into the Worldbuilding section of Sudowrite, where I’ll show you how to create detailed entries, build custom categories, and use tools like Quick Chat to expand your ideas.
In the final portion, I’ll guide you through a live demonstration, building a fantasy world from scratch using Sudowrite, and wrap up with an open Q&A, where you can get answers tailored to your story and process.
What You’ll Learn:
– Why worldbuilding matters and how to approach it with intention
– Step-by-step use of Sudowrite’s Worldbuilding tools
– How to expand entries with Quick Chat and create custom categories for your world
