Ahh, Bertus, I can totally relate! I'm a world builder too. Everything I write seems to want to grow so big, it becomes overwhelming. Sometimes I get lost in my own worlds... I have written several novels that nobody's ever read..., some belonging to the same fantasy world. It's such a wondrous experience to be dragged along and sucked into a world through words, to witness an emerging world made up entirely of words on a page...

My non-fiction seems to be more popular... but who knows, one day I might publish my novels on substack too.

The world you are building sounds intriguing. I love the way you envisage its impact on your readers. I'm ready!

Your honesty with oneself and how that feeds your creativity is always so refreshing.
