It may seem blasphemous, but I'd bet it takes Lynn Veihl (or any of her alias') less time than that to create a world.
Now she's gearing up for a second round to her virtual workshops on her blog Paperback Writer that will help give insight to the amazing way she builds entire world's for her characters to live in, and her readers to lose themselves in.
No one does it better, and her generosity in sharing her knowledge is well-known on the web. I can't wait for this workshop. Writer's all know how important believeable characters are, but sometimes we forget to make the world they live in (especially if it's other-worldly) totally believable too. It's even harder than character building. It can be tricky, and create holes in the story. Get stronger in your ability to create your character's world... in your stories you are God... find out how to be a good one.
