A: How to trick the reader into thinking they're following a redshirt instead of the protagonist?

Writing the end and then writing the chapters leading to end, so on and so forth all the way to the start. I'm interested to know more. Are there any best practices f... (more) |

Storing WorldBuilding Information I've been writing a story and world-building as part of the process. Now it has come to a point where I have lots of information about the world and I need to store it effectively for my own reference. Should I start a wiki? A Blog?
