I've also worked out some of the Royal Household's routines, characters and what they do. I'm hoping later to get some short stories, maybe even another novel out of that, as there is a whole world "downstairs" at the Palace to explore. To date the Brenebourne novels of course have focused on "upstairs" and the Queen's attitude towards Eileen and Jenny. From this, I also wondered what life was like in the Kingdom's villages and how they were run. I think it a good sign when one set of "working out details" leads to others needing to be done. It means my world is connecting up within itself, as it should do.
I think this is important for developing characters, the worlds themselves as well as ensuring the text works well and there's nothing missing. I wanted to ensure I could picture the Fairy Kingdom. If I can't, nobody else is going to! I found working out how the government works gave me a good start as it showed a cross-section of magical society given the Queen wants representatives from the major magical species serving on her Council. It also means she can keep an eye on what they're up to as well. By working out what those species were, why they were the ones chosen to be on the Council, I ended up sketching out those characters' lives at the same time.
