So I'm working to develop my new world and I've run into an interesting question.
I've seen templates for character sheets, location dossiers, chapter and scene breakdowns, and even a few for timelines.
What I've not seen is a basic template for a world building worksheet.
While I imagine that lots of people have different requirements for laying out their worlds (politics, history, religion(s), et al) I think it would assist some writers to see how they lay out their information. It would also help me find if I'm missing something in the world(s) that I've built to improve my stories.
I tend to take existing forms and futz with them until they work for me, so if you offer a link, I'm not going to steal your idea and post it elsewhere. It's just for my edification.
Hope that makes sense...
