A lot of people worldbuild when they daydream and have the bones of a story kicking around in their brain, but have to pay the bills and raise the kids etc so they never flesh it out and write it down. What's your story's premise? Fantasy, sci-fi, alternate history, mystery, western, whatever genre.

I've been wanting to even just story board/sketch is the idea of a character with the ability to affect momentum like charging up a ball bearing bouncing it between his hands till it's like a rail gun or stopping bullets but I think the ultimate thing he could do would be to remove ALL momentum("momentum zero") and have the earth, the galaxy and everything(thousands of meters per second I think) leave something behind or smash it into a wall or the ground, but for a power that strong I think he should have an enate sense of how things are moving to avoid blowing a massive hole in a building with a rock

Also a bunch of loosely connected ideas that I just want make into more of an encyclopedia because I hate charterer growth
