## kill two birds with one stone: create a wiki of your own universe

A lot of books have now their own dedicated wiki, with a page for all characters, places, events... It's maybe a lot of work, but depending on your motivation, public and genre (maybe science-fiction and fantasy books are more suited for a wiki as they have a deep background), it could be worth it as it's useful for you to see if each character, events attach is individually coherent, and help the readers as well. If you have beta-readers, a wiki could also be useful, both for their understanding and for the criticism of the universe
