Please see the links on the link page about J.R.R. Tolkien. Please visit this website and browse around. Take a few notes about Tolkien.
When you've had enough of that, please begin creating your own world. You may use Greek, Roman, Norse, Asian, African, European, Aboriginal, etc. mythology as a background setting, if you'd like--or create a new mythology of your own creation. Usually, the first step in creating a world is drawing continents or a specific area, naming lands or showing borders, etc. Make sure to put a few interesting landmarks on your map for potential use in a story.
1. Create a map of your imaginary world. (See Tolkien's examples in the book)
2. Brainstorm what the people, geography, culture in your setting is like and other details about the imaginary place. (For examples see Tolkien)
All of this material can be completed in your journal.
