Facebook Link Fixed!

I hadn’t realized that the Facebook icon wasn’t linking properly. It’s now fixed and you can like my page to get updated on posts as well as other writer’s blogs you might be interested in.

Welcome!

Welcome to the Woman in the Red Room. The blog is brand new, and my first full post will be next week, so feel free to follow me here or on my Facebook page to be notified of updates. I’ll be dealing with issues of world building in all its forms. That could be techniques to world building, analysis of existing secondary worlds,  or even critiques of successful or unsuccessful worlds in pop culture. Sit back and enjoy the ride, or if you have a question or topic you’d like me to cover, head on over to my Questions page and leave a comment.

I look forward to talking with you all!
