From chrisfox:
In case you need some inspiration while you write… Here is “Written? Kitten! “
Basically, it gives you a place to type your words. Then in increments of several hundred words, you get a picture of kitten. I completely forgot about this… but it’s a thing of beauty.
We’ve featured Written? Kitten! on Yeah Write before but we should probably feature it basically every day because it is the greatest invention ever and the combination of my two favorite things.
Step 1: Where Do They Come From?
Find a general biome that fits what you envision for this culture. If appropriate, make up your own. You want to focus on how plentiful the water is and where it is, what food sources there are, and what natural resources (wood, iron, reeds, etc.) are available. You’ll also want to look into natural structures like caves or cliffs, and common weather phenomenon like hurricanes or droughts.
If you’re writing a premodern culture with few outside influences, you could stop here, since location pretty much gives you everything you could want. The local vegetation and weather patterns will dictate how they build houses. The natural phenomenon will be explained by religion. The availability of water and food/arable soil/animals that could be domesticated will determine if they are nomadic or not. Their natural resources will determine how quickly technology progresses.

I had a bit of fun in the #VeryRealisticYA hashtag. Guess how many of these are autobiographical?
I wasn't talking about getting love. I'm saying that if you ask the gods for things like wealth, health, love, and wisdom; you should give something just as equally valuable. Now a days milk and honey doesn't really count as sacrifice like back in the days. Back then jt was the source of people's livelihood. Now we give it just as a little gift. I think that if we are to ask something from the gods it should be something out of our comfort zone, a real sacrifice to modern age humans.
1.) You don’t have the guts to talk about this without the Anon filter, so I’m not totally convinced you’re not trolling me
2.) We don’t live in the Dark Ages anymore, we don’t do human or animal sacrifice. We don’t dismember ourselves. Anybody advocating these things is dangerous.
3.) If you feel like you need to give your god $500 and a new car in order for it to be valid or whatever, don’t let me stop you.
I’m gonna be over here with all my fingers and toes thanks.
