Secret fact about fantasy writers

[pbray]

The reason why we write sequels is the sheer number of things that have to be named when you're starting a story set in a new world. Character names are bad enough, but everything has to be named--countries, cities, rivers, mountains, seas, monetary systems, religions, governing organizations and political factions, the lists are endless.

Mystery writers have it easy. :-D

Yep! When you see a skinny fantasy book, it's either left out so much as to be boring, or it's set in a world AWFULLY close to our own!
