Episode #40 Writing Episode: World-Building, Work, Part 3

In this episode, I continue my discussion about "work" in world-building and setting.

Before I get to the questions I am considering for today's episode, I want to mention I have a book coming out next week! Dark Blade Forged is prepped and ready to go worldwide on Tuesday, October 1st! Go here for a Universal Link to the book.

How does the setting/world we are creating for our stories view those who cannot work - children, elderly, and disabled individuals who cannot "make a living"? How does the society handle this? Is it handled well/badly? Is this something your character has concerns about?

And, also, how does the world/setting in our stories view the idea of activities outside of work, especially rest and fun? Is it required/dismissed? What does that look like? Do different individuals or societies in our stories view these areas in different ways that create conflict?

Thank you for joining me for today's episode!
