Playing God?

Yes another blog that is inspired by The High School Author, what else do you expect nowadays from me. Looking through some ideas for blogs this week I came across a blog on The High School author called Playing God. It talked about how writes are basically a god of their own world, and I total agree with the idea. When you are creating a new story, you create everything, the background, the characters and even what happens in the whole world. But one thing I feel The High School Author looked over was the dark side to this idea.

When making a story even though you are basically God there are certain things you can’t do. See, having complete control over the world you build is great and all because it lets you do what you want, but you have to stick to the world you create. What I mean by this is that when you create a world you have to stick by the rules you make. You can’t set a boundary to your world and then a little bit later completely destroy that boundary because it makes the plot cooler. Now if you give a certain reason why your boundary change like, you change worlds or change the people then it is fine. But when you set a definite rule for your world please keep to that rule.

Another bad side to playing God is sadly setting boundaries. See after you create your world and its boundaries you can’t go back on those rules and this can end up leading to a lot of problems. If you create your boundaries to thin then you have the chance of running into a problem and not being able to expand the plot any further, but you still have to think about the opposite. Make your boundaries to large then their most likely won’t be any problem that will stand in the way of your main character.

So when you are creating a story and “playing God” be careful of your boundaries and where you set them because once their set it is really hard to change them. Finally I do want to give a huge thanks to The High School Author, whoever they are has been a really big help so if you so somehow end up reading this I thank you for all the topics I have basically stole from you.
