Metro 2034 by Dmitry Glukhovsky, the sequel to Metro 2033, follows a new expedition through the metro and its many dangerous tunnels. Sebastopol, a station often attacked by monsters and bandits, is often requesting more ammunition and supplies, but communications are down. Every party of soldiers sent to investigate never returns. Luckily, a grizzled soldier takes up the task and requests the help of a story-teller named Homer. Thank you for watching! If you have any questions, please ask in the comments below.

My Website:-: https://www.thepennedsleuth.com/ Article:-: https://www.thepennedsleuth.com/blog/worldbuilding-example-scenes-you-can-write Last week, I discussed worldbuilding, especially techniques that have helped me overcome my worldbuilding problems, as these are the techniques I have the most experience with. Yet, I failed in one major respect in that article as I didn’t provide written examples of these scenes, rather I only discussed the scenes and their core elements. It was a missed opportunity, but it won’t be missed now. In this post, I will be writing example scenes and underlining why their simplicity goes a long way in worldbuilding.

Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky is best described as a surreal, post-apocalyptic adventure, centred around life beneath the ground in the metro tunnels after nuclear weapons devastated the planet with their destructive force and worse still, their lingering radiation. This is not a story of how or why the bombs dropped, but the exploration of one’s will to live in the face of many strange dangers that assault the body, mind and heart of the main character, Artyom.

My Website:-: https://www.thepennedsleuth.com/ Article:-: https://www.thepennedsleuth.com/blog/worldbuilding-best-descriptions-and-scenes-to-write Worldbuilding is a lot of fun when I’m dreaming of my story, or writing down a bunch of complex and interesting lore. I can do both for hours, but when I am writing, I’ve noticed a big problem with relating this information to the reader; I don’t. Either it skips my mind or my style is too straightforward, I just end up moving past opportune moments to add depth to the world space. Solution; I took some time to research and put methods into practice. 00:00 Intro 00:38 The Problem 03:45 Conversations/Overheard or Otherwise 06:32 Narrative Ramble/Exposition 09:09 Political Conflict 11:29 Mannerisms and Traditions 13:56 Sources of Progress 17:00 Final Thoughts #writingtoday #writingtips #howtowrite #writingabook Worldbuilding: Best Descriptions and Scenes to Write!
