How do you entertain the world with your fiction? That's a question I've been asking myself since I launched WantedHero.com in 2005. These stories were for my kids, but that didn't last long. Kids share with other kids, and sometimes crazy things grow. This podcast is about the creative process, perspectives, stories, and my worldbuilding addictions. It's to show you that nothing is ever as simple or as easy as it seems, and life doesn't usually turn out like we think it will. If you’re looking for ideas, inspiration, instruction, or maybe a glance into the creative process of lying to kids for a living, this may be the podcast for you.

episode 9: S1E9 WORLDBUILDING: Simon Explains The Dragons Chasm
Today Simon and I delve into worldbuilding again (finally!!). Yes, there's SO much to share about WantedHero, but I asked my son to go over the dynamic creation that he's been creating for over a year...
The Dragon's Chasm.
I get to say, right here--that Simon is brilliant. He doesn't have access to the metadata of the show, so he can't stop me...neener.
Sit back, pop a pop,...and enjoy the complicated explanations Simon gives to feed your imagination and demonstrates how powerful worldbuilding can be.
Have a listen and make sure to send Simon and I questions, if you have any. Questions can be about anything at all, especially aspects of worldbuilding you'd like us to cover.

Your fictional work WILL require some form of worldbuilding.
When creating Wanted Hero and Chronicles of a Hero, I was focused on creating a world so vest and detailed that I could spend the rest of my professional career building it and sharing it with readers. Which is amazing, because when I chat with teens in public, most want to talk worldbuilding and what my personal system is for crafting my fictional world.
