More Ways to Travel
Vehicle travel, water travel, animal
travel. Begin to keep a
resource journal, both for now and future novels. First write down each
category of transportation. Then make a list under each with two columns: one
fantastical and one reality.
Pick out a few
from each category that fit your location. If your story is in a building such
as the opera house like Phantom of the
Opera, then you don’t need a large ship, but you do need a boat to navigate
the underground canal.
Choose a movie
in your genre category and mark down how each form of travel is navigated. How
does that contribute or impede their abilities. For example in the movie John
Carter of Mars, two races use air travel but one race refuses to fly. Make
notes of the hindrances and look for ways they can become plot conflict in your
version.

most practical for your world?
