Societal World Building – a writing prompt

Today we look at a less tangible aspect of world-building: What makes your society the way it is?

21The Prompt

Write a story focusing on an aspect of society that matters to you/your story. How did society get to a place where this is important?

Tips

• You’ll probably have to go back into history for this (or ‘history’, if your world is completely made up).
• Think about issues like gender/race/economic/religious norms. How did they get where they are? What made the norms, normal?
• Pick something that matters to you. Don’t try to explain everything, just the thing that makes your blood boil, or that gets you excited.
