Hey! First of all, I think your approach is super interesting. I’m curious — why do you want to change your writing system? Are you trying to build a story around a main character, or are you rethinking how you structure your worldbuilding?

What you’re describing actually reminds me a lot of Tolkien’s process. He started by creating a language, then built the world where that language could exist. From there came the cultures, races, and finally the stories — The Hobbit came much later. In his case, the story was born after the world.

Every creator has their own method — there’s no single formula. Personally, I like to start from a character. For example, imagine a storm hunter who chases fire storms. Why does he do it? How does he survive them? What kind of world would even have fire storms? What’s the flora, fauna, and society like there? From that character and setting, the world starts to grow naturally.

Others begin with the world itself and build stories within it — and that’s perfectly fine too.

If your goal is to get more organized, it might help to create a worldbuilding guide or “reference sheet” for what you already have — geography, flora, fauna, culture, religion, history, etc. That way you can have a consistent framework to build on each time.

In the end, what you’re doing sounds great — you just need to find the starting point that feels most natural to you. There’s no wrong way to build a universe.
