There are none in #ChasingWildDreams. I guess people are still too busy with surviving to celebrate.
Poor sods. I should have been nicer. 🤔

Howdy, #NovemberWorldbuilders. What special events take place near the river/lake in your fictional world? Do they have any festivals or annual traditions? How do your characters engage with these events?

I find inspiration everywhere. Dreams, songs, books, people, random thoughts - every thing can be a source of inspiration.

The unnamed city in which the story takes place is right next to the river. It's divided into quarters, with first being the innermost & richest quarter. The further out, the poorer and less kept. Ninth & tenth on the outskirts are openly rotting.

Good day, #NovemberWorldbuilders! What settlements exist along the river or lake in your fictional world? Are they small? Big? A series of small villages or maybe one grandiose castle that dominates the area? Who lives and works around the water?

Fishing happens on a bigger scale. The councils oversee all the food industries for the city and organizes the acquisition and distribution of food.
In theory, you could sit down and cast the rod yourself, but no one does that. City people.

Alright, #NovemberWorldbuilders, this is the nichest of niche questions. If you have a notable lake/river in your world, how does it impact the economy? Do people fish from it? Are there any other resources they use? Maybe barges use it for transporting goods?

Cyn's relationship with water is pragmatic: It's there, it's wet, and it's hopefully clean enough to drink.
He might even have a little wash.

Greetings, #NovemberWorldbuilders! Let's talk about your MC today. What is their relationship with water like? Do they know how to swim? Have they ever caught a fish? Or is it just something that gets in the way during their long journey? Maybe they've never *seen* a body of water so big

Hobbies?
Besides reading and writing?
I used to travel a lot, but Covid put a stop to that and I haven't picked it up again. Aside from that, I run, hike, enjoy culture and science, friends and family.
Sometimes, I binge-watch, but not on a regular basis.

Since the partial collapse of society, wildlife is slowly taking back its living space. Cyn and Lys see several animals in the abandoned rubble of 9th and 10th quarter - so if they tried to fish they'd surely catch something.

#NovemberWorldbuilders time! Are there any animals or creatures who live in this body of water? Or maybe wildlife that comes to take a drink? Maybe they aren't animals, but... some kind of sentient entity? What is it? How do you classify it? How do the locals treat it?

I'm a plantser!
For my historical novels, I need to plot more, need to know how I'll wave my story around the known facts.
For fantasy and dystopia, I can go wild and explore more while write. But at some point, I need to know where I'm heading, or it becomes a pain.

The important thing about this river is that it exists. In a world in which society has partly collapsed, access to fresh water is vital.
It is one thing the people don't have to worry about.
(Honestly, I put them through a lot, but not thirst).

There is a river flowing through the town of Cyn and Lys. It gets important when they flee (again) and choose a hideout with access to clean water.
It doesn't have a name though. Well, it does, but it's not important to the story and not mentioned.

Welcome to our third week, #NovemberWorldbuilders! This time we're talking about important RIVERS or LAKES in our world! But, tbh, any sufficiently important body of water will do. Also, don't feel obliged to answer; sometimes I cover niche topics that aren't for everyone!

I can honestly write everywhere, as long as I can sit comfortably and put my laptop somewhere. Noise canceling earphones help me drown out voices.
But mostly, I write in my sunlit living room, which us the brightest, coziest room and has a fireplace, too 😁

#FantasyIndiesNovember 11 What genres do you write and read?
Fantasy (low and high) as well as historical fiction are my favorites, both in reading and writing. I dabble a little in other areas. I almost always need/have a romantic subplot.
Never ever racial or LGTBQ+ slurring. Absolute no go.
