• If you bought the e-book version of this text, I grant you the right to print out a single paper copy of the entire book for your personal use.

• If you're a public school teacher and you want to use materials from this workbook with your students, e-mail me at [email protected] and we'll work out a copying arrangement based on the number of students for whom you wish to copy worksheets.

Mark this page so that when you take your book to the copying center or your local library, you can show it to the person keeping track of what you copy. You'll save yourself grief by proving that you have the right to copy the worksheets before, rather than after, you've made the copies.

Conclusion

It's All Just Beginnings

I've shown you my basic and advanced techniques, my organization system, and some general ideas and links to useful information that will help you make your cultures richer. Everything I've done here has only scratched the surface. Every time you start building a culture, your research and your personality and your interest will lead you in different directions, ones that I haven't even imagined.

But my questions won't be your questions, because what fascinates me won't necessarily fascinate you, and what compels me forward in a story and drives me to write won't necessarily compel or drive you. So at the back of the rest of the stack of indexing sheets and worksheets, you'll find one like the other indexing sheets, except it's blank. Use these to keep track of the parts of your culture that aren't covered by what I've presented.

And good luck. I hope you have as much fun building your cultures as I do, and that your results will help you achieve deeper, richer fiction.
