How To Stay Motivated To Write | Writing Fantasy Books With EelKat Wendy Christine Allen

I am answering random questions today about world building, over on Reddit and decided to take my answers from there and expand upon them even further over here. So that's what this page is. Me rambling on about various aspects of world building techniques I use when writing the Quaraun series. The questions I am answering are embedded here. Clicking the link in the embedded question will take you to the original Reddit page where you can see the original answer along with other people's answers. If you wish to comment, you can do so on the Reddit page where a place to do so is provided.

>What helps you maintain interest in worldbuilding?

With me, it's all about the characters. Worlds are interesting, yes, but it's the character who tells the story. The world is just the place the story happens. And when you get right down to it, any story can happen on any world, with only minor tweeks to match said world.

So for me, I always start with a character.

First...

Build a character that I know I'll fall head over heels in love with.... and figure out

• Who he is?
• Why he is who he is?
• How did he come by his career/lifestyle/family, etc?
• What do I know about his culture and ethnicity?
• If he's not Human, then what is he? How is race/species different then Humans?
• How does he travel - horse, camel, boat, air ship?
• 
  

and THEN... figure out:

• Where does he live?
• Why does he live there? Was he born there? Did he move to there? Is he a refugee? Is he there because he wants to be or because he has to be?
• Who does he live with? Friends Family? Strangers? Why?
• What if he has no home and is just wandering from place to place? What places does he go to? Why this place and not that place? Will he go to that place later? Why? Why not?

Next...

Once I've got that figured out, then I create the world:

• What about the world around him, shaped his culture to be what it is? What are their religions, foods, governments, hobbies, etc?
• What about the world around him, to have the career he has?
• What about the world around him, causes him to travel via the travel methods he uses?
• What about the world around him, influences the way he dresses?
• What about the world around him, caused his people to evolve as they did?

Next...

Now, once I reach the point of knowing WHO my character is and where he lives, now I figure out his personal background...

• Who are his parents? Where they good to him? Was he abused? Did he never know them? Why?
• Does he have siblings? Who are they? How does he relate to them?
• What is his relationship to his aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, etc.?
• What are his family's religious and political beliefs? How did they come by these beliefs? Are his the same or different?
• If he didn't grow up with his family, then who did he grow up with and why?
• What are his social skills like? Was he raised a street savvy, street urchin, or an isolate choir boy who was never allowed outside the church?
• Where did his family sit in society? Farmers? Merchants? Peasants? Serfs? Wealthy? Poor? Nobility? Aristocrats? Royalty? Vagabonds?
• How many lovers, spouses, or children has he had? Is he still in contact with any of them? Why or why not?
• What was his education like? Do they have schools in his era? If so did he attend or not?

NOW...

It's time to go back to worldbuilding again... this time we take what we know about the people he grew up with and we ask:

• What about the world around them, shaped his family to raise him as they did?
• What about the world around him, to have the religion/political beliefs he has?
• What about the world around him, causes him to grow up in the conditions he grew up in (poverty caused by war or famine, for example)?

Now we build a story ...

With the character in mind, now ask yourself:

• What is he doing, right now? Right this very instant?
• Why is he doing it?
• What happened to him yesterday to result in him doing this thing today?
• Who around him knows what he is doing? Why or why not?
• Is someone helping him do it? Who and why or why not?
• What time frame is he working against? Does he have to be finished by noon today?
• What will happen if he doesn't finish in time?
• Does he have everything he needs to get the task done or is he missing an important item?
• If something is missing - what is it? Why is it missing? Must he replace it with the exact same item or can he replace it with something else? Why or why not?
• How will he get the missing item? Is it as easy as going to the local market and buying it, or does he have to quest around the globe to fight a dragon for it?

And finally

Now go back over all of your answers to all of these questions and ask yourself... is there a story here that I want to expand upon?

Usually I find that by doing this, I end up fleshing out both my world and my character at the same time, and in figuring out my character's connection to the world he lives in, in turn inspires me to write stories about his life and his interactions with his world and the people who live in it with him.

By doing the world building in this manner, I am not just straight doing nothing but charting maps and designing geography, but rather, I'm building my character's origin story, and giving him a culture, and doing it in the world he lives in, building the world around him as I go.

For example, the main character I'm using now, is an Elf who was born in Inukjuak, Quebec, the son of the King's young brother, so he's a low level prince of sorts, but he has no political power and his title really doesn't mean anything either in his kingdom or out of it. However, in spite of his low rank, the King favoured him and named him heir to the throne, which caused his father (the king's brother) to hate him and become abusive of him. The boy's father/king's brother thought he would be the next king and hates his own son out of his mad drive for power. So he kills the boy's mother, then hires a squid-headed demon priest to kidnap the boy (the boy is 9). The priest does as he's paid to do... in this world it is common for priests to kidnap young boys and force them into horrific lives as slaves to the church.... so basically the boy is sold into slavery by his own father.

The priest takes the boy to a temple in Persia, where at first he's a slave, but he learned fast and proves very adapt at their religion's magical ritals, so soon, even though he's an Elf and they are Demons, they teach him the priesthood and he grows up to become a powerful Psyonic Wizard-Priest. Even though he's a French Canadian, he lives a very Persian/Muslim influenced lifestyle because of having been raised by the priests.

As an adult he later goes back home to Quebec, the King is overjoyed to see him alive (they had thought him dead), but his father in infuriated that his "long lost" son has returned and immediately begins plotting his death. He developed this huge plot to marry his son to a princess, then kill the king (his older brother), then once the son is king, kill him, his wife becomes queen, then he marries the widow and becomes king. (The girl is in on the plot with him.)

The son however, has lived with the Demons for so long, he has no clue how to act like an Elf or live in Elf society, and being a priest extremely devoted to his religion, he wants nothing to do with becoming king or marrying the girl, and instead goes off with a non-Elf commoner lover, who the king's brother then has killed... which devastates the wizard-priest, causing him to question his religion, turn to Necromancy to resurrect his lover and then turn around and kill his father and the king, just so he doesn't have to deal with them fighting over who the next king will be.

The story STARTS with the wizard-priest and his now resurrected undead lover on the run, because now he's a murderer. The story is his fight to survive in a wor;ld that sees him as a villain and his lover as a monster. The entire story following the now homeless vagabond wizard as he and his undead lover trek the planet in search of a place where they can be allowed to live their lives in peace.

All this is just backstory that I used as a way to build the character and the world he lives in. Now that I have this backstory I can look at who he is today, and how his past shaped him, how his world effected him, how various cultures he encountered in childhood influenced him, and now I can ask myself... "So what is he doing today, right now, and how can I turn it into a story?"

The answer took 40 years and 130 novels to answer and I'm still answering it... the series has been going since 1978 and has no end in sight. Over the years the characters changed. I started out with Roderic. Then after a few novels about him, I switched to writing stories about his son. Then a few novels later I wrote stories about his other son. Then a few novels after that I wrote stories about his butler. Then a few novels later I wrote stories about the butler's father who turned out to be Roderic's uncle. Then a few novels later I started writing about Roderic's grandfather, who is the current character... the one whose backstory you just read.

What started out as me writing the story about one man and his haunted house back in 1978, turned into a series of 130+ novels written over a period of 40 years and constantly evolving along the way.

As I write new stories about each member of the family, I end up creating new things about the world around them. I'm constantly expanding their world. For example, most of the series is set in cold Arctic regions along the coast. Then one day I discovered, Roderic's butler had a collection of shrunken heads and had to answer the question, how did he get them. Turns out he was a missionary of sorts to an aboriginal headhunting tribe in a rain forest jungle. So of course now I had to research the Amazon rain forest to figure out how to build a rain forest for my world. I discovered the Rupa-Rupa Cloud Forest of Peru in the process, and ended up creating this vast cloud forest civilization that I had no clue existed in their world, but now is an integral part of the economy to the world they live in as a whole.

>Basically, what you should do is imagine and dream your world instead of writing it altogether, and draw from natural people, events, tales, and phenomena to help you piece an original world in your mind. Of course, you will need to write down what stories and events you imagine in your mind, but brute-force-writing your ideas as soon as they come to mind without giving them figurative water to grow gives shriveled and uninteresting "world"-plants.

I completely agree with this.

Back in the early days when I was a pre-teen and just getting started in writing. The very first thing that got me into writing was the movie "A Year Without a Santa Claus."

It was the scene where Heat Miser and Frost Miser are fighting. One is sending blizzards all over the world to freeze everything, while the other is sending heat waves. Their friend Santa Claus is like "Hell with it, I don't want to deal with any of this any more, I'm retiring. Christmas is canceled. I'm sick of all the fighting in the world. I'm out."

I'm not sure what exactly it was about that segment of the movie, but it sparked this idea in my head...

The idea was: "What if Spock and MaCoy found these two planets side by side, one made of fire, the other made of ice, and both planets were dying because a comet had changed their obits, but niether planet knew it, so both planets were fighting with each other."

Next thing I knew I'm writing Star Trek fanfiction, about the Pirate Ship Rent A Prize on Planet Flame and Planet Crhystonia, trying to save the people of both planets before both planets cease to exist, but the Fire Elves and the Frost Elves are too busy fighting each other to realize theirs a crew trying to save their lives.

That was the very first story for the Quaraun series. A far cry from what it evolved into and became in the decades to come.

Now there is an entire galaxy with multiple solar systems and multiple planets, and Space Elves with intergalactic pirate ships zipping back and forth between time and space, in very Doctor Who methods to visit extremely Star Trek planets, with blatantly SpellJammer populations right down to Squid headed psycho priests and giant space hamsters, characters ripped out of InuYasha (Quaraun is unashamedly Lord Sesshomaru) prancing around with My Little Pony on the Great Space Coaster (is any one here, other then me, old enough to remember that LSD induced hippie feast Saturday morning live action cartoon of the 1970s? If you've never seen Great space Coaster - it's on YouTube - go look for it - most psychedelic show ever made), and the whole thing set in the house from Rocky Horror Picture show, complete with a family of human-eating transvestite vampire Elves from outer space who periodically like to drop everything to break out into drug induced song and dance for no reason at all, other then singing the Time Warp s a fun thing for psycho Elves from space to do. The Twighlight Manor series described in a single paragraph! LOL! (It usually takes me a few pages.)

Okay... now that I've mentioned them, I had to go look for them. Here they are:

Great Space Coaster.... 

...and...

here you go...

...a family of human-eating transvestite vampire Elves from outer space who periodically like to drop everything to break out into drug induced song and dance for no reason at all...

...

The series started out as fanfiction so when it went to mainstream publication, I had to totally rewrite it - create all new character based off the copyrighted originals, create a whole new none copyrighted world.

The Quaraun series is HEAVILY influenced by Rocky Horror Picture Show.

In the end it became an adventure of building this massive, super insane hippie feast world about Elves in Space, and filling that world with lots of people, and then finding stories to tell about each character.

It requires a lot of imagination and daydreaming to do that.

But that is where the fun comes in, because the world itself is just an empty place until you fill it with people to visit all the amazing places the world has to offer. And once you toss a bunch of people together, things are going to start happening because the people have to interact with each other, which results in events happening. And each event that happens causes even more events to happen, and soon it's a snow ball effect of one thing leading to another and before you know it, you'll be writing more stories the you know what to do with and you get so "into" your world that you'll never want to leave it. Or at least that's what I did.

For me I think the thing that helps the most is just having a character you can fall head over heels in love with and then digging deep into every aspect of that character's life to tell every story you can about them, then just build the world you need to tell that story about the character.

>My most recent worldbuilding (and true worldbuilding) projects focus more on a theoretic approach to viewing societies I create. Since I cannot bring myself to write mere descriptions of the world, I decided to go another way and explore, in a very in-depth manner, cultural aspects that shape it, so instead of writing about the linear, factual history of a city, something which I absolutely loathe doing, I went and wrote a long essay on how that city's inhabitants view the notion of body and its relation to space and being. I plan on doing that with multiple issues that spark my interest, and I think it makes me reflect and learn more about the world I'm creating.

I do this as well.

I think it is fascinating to write essays on the cultures of the world.

A thing I often do all well, is to at some point in the story, have a character use part or all of that essay as well. Maybe it'll be a newspaper report he'll read, or perhaps a paragraph from it will become a paragraph in some spelbook he's reading, detailing the location of some plant he needs to find that only grows here in this place, but is protected by the people of that region for being sacred, so the book contains the passage about the culture and how to get into their society to get the plant.

Something like that, allows me to take small passages from the world-building essays I write and use them to tell the reader little tid bits about the world, while being important to the plot and not being an all out info dump.

What Is This Site?

I'm an author. This is an author home page. It's about me, my life, my books, my hobbies, my home town, and anything else that applies to me and my life. 

Since starting my writing career in 1978, I have written 130+ novels, 2,000+ short stories, 6,000+ non-fiction articles (ALL are found on this site), a few dozen stage plays, 12,000+ blog posts, and a few comic book scripts for Disney's Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck (I only worked for Disney one year (in 2005) and only wrote a few stories for their Danish comic books).

NOTE: I ONLY write the Quaraun series (aka The Twighlight Manor series aka The Adventures of Quaraun the Insane). In recent years there has been an issue with impersonators trying to pass books off as written by me, notably several non-fiction and Erotica books. I write neither nonfiction nor Erotica.

ALL of my books and their cover arts are listed on my website here. Beware of any books you find claiming to be me. If the books are NOT listed here on my website, they are NOT my books.

In fiction works, I specialize in Weird/Bizarro Tales set in 40th century CyberPunk-Quasi Medieval, Cozy Dark Fantasy and Science Fiction worlds featuring an intersex Elf and his Faerie husband main characters.  I DO NOT WRITE ANY OTHER SERIES - THIS SERIES IS THE ONLY ONE I WRITE.

Non-fiction (found ONLY here on my site) is daily updates of events in my life, and how-tos on how I write my novels.

I DO NOT write Erotica.

I DO NOT write books with HUMAN characters.

The Erotica books and books with Human characters, that you are finding, are written by scammers trying to impersonate me.

There is an ongoing FBI investigation into this matter. If you find any such books, please report them to FBI Agengt Andy Drewer @207–774–9322

The FBI believes the people behind the impersonation accounts showing up, are relatives of the woman who murdered my son.

Some additional thoughts on the FBI Murder Investigation of 144 & 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine:

How many murders are caused by cancel culture, have you ever wondered?
I have — because my son murdered by cancel culture, so I wonder this a lot.

I have never been able to wrap my mind around cancel culture. It has baffled me ever since I first discovered it, when the “God hates fags” group showed up in my yard to start a bonfire on my lawn and burn my books (I’m an author, 138 novels published since 1978) and I later found out the group had spent weeks on social media planning the event and gathering followers, because one minister got it into his head I was gay (I’m not) and write gay erotica (I don’t), and used gay hatred and white power rants (I’m not white, it’s the only thing they did get right) rants on Twitter to incite canceling of my supposedly gay erotica books (that were neither gay nor erotic) and get a mob to show up in my yard.

A week later a bomb blew up my house, I had to rebuild, a week to finishing rebuilding a backhoe drove over my house, 2 months (November 14, 2013) later a crazed woman with a golf club showed up at my college class shattered my spine and bashed my 8 month infant sons head in while screaming “transvestite freak” and claiming I (a cis female) was a “man in a dress”.

Because of Twitter’s cancel culture I homeless, now 11 years, I am crippled paralyzed unable to walk, now 11 years, and my son is dead and the FBI investigation of his murder is still going on these 11 years later, and the killer still walks free and unidentified, and the primary reason for being unidentified is there are over 30k people online who spread these false accusations of gay erotica and transgender about me and the FBI has to investigate EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM, yes, ALL of them, yes, if you’ve ever posted hate about me online you ARE being investigated for your potential involvement in my son’s murder, and in 11 years, they’ve only made it a quarter of the way through that list, and not yet found golf club woman..

And the man who started it all, Peter something, is now the biggest YouTuber in Quebec and the biggest anti trans YouTuber on the planet, and has yet to be held responsible for starting the gay erotica and transvestite rumours about me on Twitter because, for some reason there are no laws that hold cancel cries accountable for the the death and destruction their hivemind followers do after being incited into a frenzy by the cancelers tweets.

Perhaps the issue is I am too old to understand the herd mentality of cancel culture, I grew up on a very isolated egg farm and I was 42 years old before cancel culture existed, or perhaps my not using social media causes me to not understand it.

But I wonder how many people out there are like me, lives destroyed by haters, who hate things about me, that aren’t even things I am or do, because they believe one cancelers lies on Twitter and never took the time to fact check before they reacted.

Do you know who this woman is?
If you have any information about the identity of this child murderer, please call FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322

On November 14, 2013, she used a golf club to bash out the brains of my 8-month-old baby Xavier-Octavian Allen. She called herself “Claire” as though she thought I knew her, but I know no one named Claire and had never seen her before. She was about 65 years old and would be around 75 years old today in 2025. The FBI believes the woman who murdered my son is the same woman who hired the backhoe to drive over my house on August 8, 2013, a few weeks before my son’s murder.

If you have any information about the identity of this child murderer, please call FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322

My house at 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, on July 4, 2013 and on August 8, 2013 after vandals drove a backhoe over it. The backhoe is still running in this photo, I got home from work while they were doing it and the white haired man jumped out and ran away leaving the backhoe running, until it ran out of gas. It sat in my yard for 6 months until the police finally towed it away.

She is the same woman who severed my spine with the same golf club used to murder my baby. She had distinctive two-inch wide stripes in her hair all the way around her head, platinum blond and dark reddish brown, in a pageboy haircut.

FAQ: How Did the FBI get involved?

The FBI believes this woman who crippled me and murdered my baby on November 14, 2013, is connected to the backhoe that illegally drove over my house making me homeless on August 8, 2013.

Between June 2001 and continuing on into 2025, there have been over 200 violent attacks on 146 Portland Ave, Old orchard Beach, Maine, including the beheading of 75 pet roosters April 2007, whose headless bodies were hung in my rosebushes from rope nooses.

The FBI believes ALL of these events are being done in an attempt to drive me off my land. 

According to the FBI, in 2007, a developer went to the Old Orchard Beach Town Hall and filed an illegal building permit for a 27 unit condominium, on my land and CLAIMED to be the owner of my land. This land has been in my family since 1531, we are Native Americans of the Kickapoo tribe and there are more than 500 graves, most dating from the 1500s to 1600s on my land. 

This land has been in my family well over 500 years, and I inherited it from my grandmother Helen Ricker Allen in 1983.

The FBI believes, ALL of the slander/rumours that falsely accuse me of being transgender were ALSO started by this woman who murdered my son, in a further attempt to drive me from my land via working locals of Old Orchard Beach into a trans-hating frenzy.

If you are a real estate agent and ANY ONE contacts you interested in buying 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, PLEASE report that "client" IMMEDIATLY to FBI Agent Andy Drewer, head of my son's murder investigation, and head of the investigation into the 200+ acts of vandalism and hate crimes which have occurred at 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine between 2001 to 2025.

If you have ANY information about ANY of the incidents, attacks, vandalisms, and hate crimes that took place between 2001 and 2025, on 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, please give that information to FBI agent Andy Drewer as well.

My land is not for sale and ANY ONE offering to buy it is likely connected to this woman who murdered my son.

ANYONE interested in buying my land has a HIGH PROBABILITY of being hired BY MY SON'S MURDERER, and you MUST send their information to the FBI.

If you have any information about the identity of this child murderer, please call FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322

She shows up at my yard (both in Old Orchard and in Biddeford), at my college classes, at my workplace... always violent and smashing things, always yelling "transvestite freak" and similar hate slurs about transgender people (she seems to believe I am transgender even though I am I cis woman, and her hatred of transgender people seems to be her primary motive.).

At one point the man who was with her called her "Vallerie". But she herself talked of herself (in a bizarre, not how normal people talk "3rd person") Claire. She kept saying things like "I'm Claire, bitch!" and "I'm Claire you fucking transvestite freak!"

She really, really, really, really was going overboard in emphasizing that her name was Claire - to the point that I am led to believe that her name is NOT Claire, and that she was in fact pretending to be someone else, who's name was Claire.

The fact that the man with her (who was later discovered to be a Biddeford police officer - he was identified in February 2025 when he was killed in a car accident in New Hampshire.) called her "Vallerie" and not "Claire" when he talked to her, indicates, that her name is more likely to be Valerie, then Claire.

But I know no one named either Vallerie or Claire, and outside of these events where she shows up and attacks, I've never seen this woman before and have no clue who she is.

She has attacked more then a dozen times, IN ADDITION to the golf club attack when she murdered my son and crippled me.

She frequently dies her hair and wears wigs. And has looked quite different in the over TWELVE YEARS of her stalking and harassment

I have 3 broken vertebrae, 3 ruptured discs, a broken sariliac, hip dysplasia (broken hip and broken pelvic bone, with hip bone pushed back into pelvic bone and fused together), in addition to rheumatism in both hips, both knees, and both wrists, as well as MS.

Rheumatism I've had since I was 8.

MS I've had since I was 16.

All the rest was done by the crazy blonde woman with the golf club, November 14, 2013, at Southern Maine Community College. I was also 8 months pregnant and she murdered my son as well. I was paralyzed for 18 months and had to relearn to walk. Her hair was wild extreme unnatural rave style 2 to 3 inch wide platinum blond and dark blonde-brown stripes.

I found a pin that shows a similar hairstyle:

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/tonos-de-cabello-rubio--322148179608879161/

In May 2015 I returned to work, walking minimally with a cane.

On June 24, 2016, the same mystery blond woman with her hair now dyed rusted reddish blond, woman, this time driving a late 1990s vintage gold Volvo station wagon, drove up beside my car, while I was putting groceries in my car at Scarborough Walmart, jumped out, grabbed an empty shopping cart from the shopping cart corral, and attacked again, same as she did with golf club three years earlier. This attack is the one which caused worse damage, and I have still not yet recovered from now in 2025.

In the 2016 attack, her hair was dyed an unnatural burgundy red, with slight grey roots growing out, the same unnatrually straitened pageboy style, and she was wearing a burgundy sweater that time.

She most often looks like this, with the red hair... and it was what she looked like on the December 24, 2016 Christmas Eve attack at my dad's apartment building. And THIS attack we have on camera, and so we have actual video footage of her... including, we have audio files of her yelling and chanting "transvestite freak!" while shooting a gun, during the Christmas Eve attack at 27 High Street, Biddeford, Maine.

Her hair has been a different colour each time she has shown up. In 2021 it was a neon dayglow purple, but still the same pageboy. The 2021 attack she was wearing a black poly satin dress with neon lime green trim

When she showed up at PortCon 2023 and the Round 1 at the Maine Mall the same day, she was again wearing the black dressed, but this time her hair was died black, but she was wearing a neon dayglow lime green "clown wig".

Her face is covered in deep "smokers wrinkles" and her skin is very, very abnormally dry and flakey.

She had a somewhat large nose, (kind of more like a man's nose then a woman's nose) and very thin lips (almost none existant, again, more like a man's lips, then a womans)... she is a LOT bigger then me... a LOT - I am 5'6" and she's maybe 5'11" to 6'2"... she's like really, really, really big.

When she showed up at PortCon 2023 and the Round 1 at the Maine Mall the same day, she was again wearing the black dressed, but this time her hair was died black, but she was wearing a neon dayglow lime green "clown wig".

at one point at the Round One in the Maine Mall attack, she pulled off the green clown wig while she was yelling and her hair was a black-black super fake dyed black pageboy.

The 2016 attack is the one that did the most damage and. That is why I have the cane, walker, rollator, and wheelchair. And which one I use is determined by how much pain I am in at the time I try to stand and move.

She is the one the FBI is looking for. He said he thinks Bruce’s family knows who she is. He said they become alarmigly, agitated, evasive, and violently hostile whenever questioned about her.
