#WordWeavers Oct 15
What piece of backstory did you invent just for yourself that readers may never learn?
Can't recall doing this for character backstories.
I do have thoughts on ethnicities within populations which I tend not to delve into as they don't carry the same importance as in our world. Also linguistics, which I had to limit to only a couple of sentences. A lot of world details aren't critical to the stories being told.
