World building even sounds simple. The sort of thing you can do on a lunch break at work, or on your way home from class. It’s just… building a world, right? An entire one? Full of people and customs and architecture and stories and holidays and types of grass and—okay, that’s a little overwhelming. At least, it can be, when you barely know where to start.

Because the thing is, world building isn’t as terribly scary as it sounds. Once you’ve you’ve set down a few foundation stones, it can be pretty simple to build on top of those.
