Playground / Ongoing / Writing and worldbuilding
How do invented people and worlds behave as though they existed before I started writing them?
This page is about how I build the stories. The Fiction Notes pages are about the stories themselves.
A recurring decision map
This is shared logic across four stories, not a fixed formula.
The idea
I write across psychological romance, fantasy, workplace romantic comedy, and speculative AI fiction. The genres change, but I keep returning to the same questions: what does this person want, what are they avoiding, what rules shape the world around them, and what has to remain consistent for the story to feel real?
The systems are not a substitute for the story. They help the story survive its own decisions.
Current projects
Psychological romance
Behavioural observation, investigation logic, evidence and misinterpretation, and intimacy developing alongside the Adrian de La Roche case. Observing behaviour and understanding a person are not the same skill.
Read the story noteFantasy
World rules, history, consequence, culture, and long-form continuity, organised around Being Alive, Living, and Learning. Fantasy gives me permission to invent almost anything. That is why the world needs rules.
Read the story noteWorkplace romantic comedy
A 90-day M&A structure, a professional plot that works independently of the romance, character competence, relationship logic, and work as romantic pressure. If the attraction disappeared, the professional plot should still hold.
Read the story noteSpeculative AI fiction
Memory, identity, embodiment, autonomy, and the rules of a near-future world. If Rain functions as a person in the story, her life has to continue when Alisa is not there.
Read the story noteWhat I want to learn
A character can surprise me. They cannot become convenient. A world can be impossible. It cannot suddenly forget its own rules because I need the next scene to work.
That is the work underneath the pages: keeping decisions, histories, motives, and consequences connected as each story grows.
