1. Start with a clear focus
Decide your main idea early:
- If it’s an essay: How life would work on a planet covered in water
- If it’s a story: Who survives and what challenges they face in an endless ocean
A strong focus keeps everything organized.
2. Build the setting first (this is key)
Since everything is water-based, describe:
- No land or very little land
- Floating cities / ships / underwater bases
- Weather problems (storms, waves, floods)
- Limited resources (fresh water, food, fuel)
Good writing here makes the world feel real.
3. Add conflict or problem
Every good writing piece needs tension:
- Survival challenges (no land, no supplies)
- Conflict between groups (pirates, settlers, survivors)
- Environmental danger (storms, sea creatures, sinking structures)
4. Use strong sensory description
Show the world, don’t just tell it:
- “Salt spray burned his eyes”
- “The endless gray-blue horizon swallowed everything”
- “Metal ships creaked under the waves”
5. Organize your structure
For essays:
- Intro: what a water world is
- Body 1: environment
- Body 2: survival challenges
- Body 3: human adaptation
- Conclusion: reflection or future possibility
For stories:
- Beginning: introduce character + world
- Middle: conflict/problem grows
- End: survival, discovery, or escape
6. End with impact
Leave the reader thinking:
- Hopeful survival?
- Total loss?
- Discovery of land?
