In the process of world building for a story, you must become
an Imaginaut. You explore the wild creations and vivid imagery created within
your own mind. It is limitless and has no boundaries or constraints. Anything is
possible.
You stop to admire the flowing forms in the perceived
reality of the ultra-world. With a whim it changes, it adapts, it morphs into
the shape molded by desire. Then, you solidify what feels right.
Yes, that is what I want it to be. That is the way is must
be for this to work.
The fuzzy sketch becomes outline and from its conception, foundation
is born; a sturdy place to build upon. More ideas flow, which add color and
detail to the construct. Suddenly all the senses become entertained. New sounds
are heard, strange texture felt and exotic tastes tantalized... and soon after
that, emotion follows.
The world manifests and it becomes real.
As an adventurer, the Imaginaut explores the new world; astonished
at the breathtaking beauty and wonder of the detailed creation. However, like all
great things that stand tall in the brightest light, there are shadows. The
Imaginaut perceives the darkness and feels compelled to investigate. How deep
can the can darkness go? How far do we dare venture into these places?
We know what we encounter it is NOT real. It is only
imagination. It is only thought, explored.
The question for the Imaginaut is - Do you risk bringing
back what you have seen?
