These worksheets, from Michael James Liljenberg at Elfwood, are well worth checking out.“The biggest software advance for writers since the word processor.” -Michael Marshall Smith, bestselling author

I’d rather spend the brainpower describing the new world, species or thingy-ma-bob, than racking my brain (and the Internet) for the first question I should be asking myself (such as, is this planet habitable?). The last thing I want to do when I’m in full plot- or world-developing flight is get sidetracked by the nitty-gritty. This something often plays an important role in my developing plot (or world), and while I may know a few details, such as its name and function, the nitty-gritty can elude me. Sometimes, when I’m in the thick of creating a story, or the world it’s going to be set in, I have an idea for a something (generally a plant, animal, person or thing). I love them because they make world-building easier, not in a ‘this is how things must be done’ way, but in a ‘here’s some questions to get you started’ way. I might have previously mentioned that I love templates, and you might ask why. 5 new Scrivener template sheets for your enjoyment.
