So, I finally fell asleep sometime around eight. And then woke up a few times, always making myself sleep more. I gave up about half an hour ago.
I still feel kind of exhausted, but that's my own fault. Friday night: up until around six; Saturday: up til 3:30-4; and again awake until about eight. I didn't finish AM last night, either. But that's okay. I need to do some more outlining so I'm not just rambling.

Well, I'm not sure my tips would be worth much to anyone. My worldbuilding strategy is more akin to a spider on LSD than anything regular.
But it would be fun to do things like write articles about language and culture and Clams.
I guess looking at all the YA saves stuff made me think how nice it would be to have a blog without having to opinion on all the inflammatory statements of the universe.

No, clams. Like some of it would be my own weird sort of "How To" but sometimes I'd like to just write an article on something I've made for my world.
Consider: the Neru, a melon-sized clam that eats fish in a manner similar to that of a carnivorous plant. (Think Venus fly trap.)
It's a fairly small part of the story, but I know a lot about it because one of my characters is named after it. The reason his parents chose the name is related to how it's viewed by the various cultures. Which is related to its habitat and so forth.
I have dozens of things like this, and then there's mythology and deep backstory. You know, lots of stuff.
I mean, I could also do some things with clan-based culture since The Book of Worlds has a lot of that. Similarities and differences and such. But going into ecology is great fun too.

ETA And yeah, I know I have quite a few words, but... Meh. I want to be done!
