Hey everyone!

The art of world-building has always fascinated me in terms of being able to ingrain a unique strength and power in one’s imagination. Worldbuilding is the process of constructing an imaginary world, sometimes associated with a whole fictional universe. Developing an imaginary setting with coherent qualities such as a history, geography, and ecology is a key task for many science fiction or fantasy writers.

I recently started developing an interest towards short-story writing and decided to conduct a small writing experiment.

This experiment is my creativity generated and flown in the direction of fictional world-building after reading Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino. It is one of my most favourite reads, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has an appreciation for imaginative and confabulatory thinking.

I explored the world of narrative world-building through short story writing and would be posting them as a small series on this blog. Stay tuned!!
