LORE: Using Past to Build Future

About LORE

Lore is defined as “a body of traditions and knowledge on a subject or held by a particular group, typically passed from person to person by word of mouth.” We know that no good story starts at the beginning. Characters have been living their lives for years before we meet them, so how do you make that apparent? Very often, it’s through the traditions and knowledge that your novel’s characters revere.

Using his LORE methodology, Bharat Krishnan reveals a way to create your own lore in order to enhance your world building by establishing those traditions and knowledge.
