Beautiful worlds

      Today, I had the opportunity to drive up to a place called Bear Lake in northern Utah.  It is beautiful country.  The water of the lake is so blue and the mountains rise up straight out of the water straight up to the snow covered peaks.  In book 10 which will be titled Into The Heart our characters get the opportunity to visit several worlds.
      Some time ago in one of the earlier novels, I was able to create a second world and in the process had to decide what that world would look like.  In this story, there are 18 worlds that have to be considered.  Until I began writing about them, I hadn't thought about what sort of worlds each of the Most High's beloved sons and daughters would have made.  I have only written about 4 or 5 so far.  But if there is an idea you have for a world, Tell me about it.
      Think about it for a moment.  If you could reach a point in your progression where it became your job to create a new world, what would it look like?  Would it be rolling hills each heavily laden with fields of grains and orchards full of fruit?  Would it be covered in great woods and tall trees with babbling brooks and rushing rivers?  Would it be a sphere of water with floating islands that move about with the breezes that blow?  Or would it be a mix of many types of lands like our Earth is?  If you were creating it and what it looked like was totally up to you; what would it be?
      Would you create the races and then create landscapes to fit them?  Or would you make the lands and create races best suited to the land.  As you work though your own progression, what your final goals are might be part of what you consider.
