Wiki for Worldbuilding? Apparently So!
So. I have a new idea for a novel. Yes. Another novel. It’s a YA steampunk fantasy with a male protagonist. But I am not going to work on it just yet, well, not actually start typing out chapters and the like. I have enough on my plate with Bones and the editing of Blood Bound that I do not want another major project right now, especially one that requires as much research and world-building as this one does.
But this is one idea that I do not want to lose while I am working on other novels. I wanted to keep snippets, notes, ideas, maps and all sorts in one place, but knowing my track record with notebooks (hint: it’s bad) I was more than a little worried about still having those notes when the time came to actually write Lionheart. And then I found an interesting blog entry on using wiki software for worldbuilding. So now, instead of several notebooks with pieces of paper sliding out of it, I now have a private wiki hidden somewhere to keep all my notes and additions for Lionheart, and can easily edit it when I think of something new.
In the meantime, though, my focus is on Bones and Blood Bound, and doing research for Lionheart by reading books/watching movies with a steampunk theme. Suggestions would be wonderful.
