JRR Tolkien’s The Silmarillion, though, is truly and literally a religious text for and of Middle Earth, straddling a line between being in-world and out-world. They are varying levels of complete, and most of them I very much just build as I go and think of things to add (and I really should be more consistent about adding to them, since it would make my writing process for things like Blood Magic and Fo’Fonas a lot easier). Typically, I put these together in OneNote, and they consist of a few different tabs on things like “timelines,” “politics and religion,” “characters,” “science, magic, and technology,” and “geography,” or something similar, and then I’ll have various notes jotted down mostly piecemeal within those tabs. I’ve written about “world-bibles” before, which is just my term for the notebooks that I use to collect all of my world-building information for my larger and more complex stories.
