Physics of a World
Since I study physics at my university, I often will read articles of new experiments in the field.

How my Elivera World came to be
Writing excuses has been exploring the flora and fauna in world-building: Writing Excuses 7.2 and Writing Excuses 7.3 I spent a lot of time devising this backstory to my Elivera world – over ten years now to be honest.
