Thank you for everything!
I feel the need to say a huge thank you to this beautiful community! The results of the first vote for WAWA put a smile on my face that refuses to go away! I was thrilled to see I got nominated for best new comer and also shocked and surprised about my nomination for Pillars of Progress. Thank you to anyone who voted for me and I hope you'll consider support me in round two! Congratulations to everyone that got nominated as well as to all participants!
On top of that, today was my birthday and I woke up to the best gift I could possibly receive from this community. My world, my mind-baby which is in the making for so long, has reached 100 followers!!! To say I am thrilled would be a lie! I am ecstatic, excited and grateful!
Achievement Unlocked!!!

Worldember status update!
Worldember flows so good! I feel blessed to be a part of this and the choice to join World Anvil six months ago was frankly one of the best decisions I made this year! Congratulation to everyone participating in this. In just a week I've discovered so many great creators it blows my mind! And now it is time for a shameless self promotion of some articles I really enjoyed writing! I would love to hear your thoughts on them! If you have any suggestions on articles I should read (yours or someone else's) please tell me in the comments! So, here we go!
Inspired by Catoblepon, I fell in love with conditions, so here is one that promises a lot of laughter!
An article about my best buddy in the world of Kena'an and your guide to the Afterlife!
A material called Onyx Luna, unique in nature and properties and my most prideful moment of CSS!
I wish you all the best! May the words flow, filling your worlds with life!

Re-writting short stories
I've been trying to rewrite my short stories so they're a lot better, obviously there is still plenty of room for improvement! But right now, at least the first story is much easier to read than it was before. But it does come with a list of triggers!
CWs:child abuse
domestic abuse
child harm
injury

Inarora's Excursion! Updates 10/4
It's been about two weeks since Inarora's Excursion has come into the world! I've been taking a long social media hiatus because I got extremely burned out from doing promos, and then also social media has a bad tendency (which, is by design) to feed into a lot of your insecurities and imposter syndrome, and it made things a lot worse for me. Which sucks, because I've been wanting to post more for Inarora's Excursion across my socials, but I haven't been able to.
So, I haven't really done many articles the past month or two. I've been hyperfixated on writing my Naruto fanfiction and I've been drawing and working. A lot. My reading is suffering a bit lol. I'm hoping soon to hop back onto Ina 2 but right now, I have a really good thing going with my fanfiction and I need to milk it for all it's got.
Anyway, here's where you can purchase Inarora's Excursion if you're interested!

After nearly two years of hard work, we're thrilled (and a little nervous!) to share the Dromaria site with you finally!
This world means everything to me, and I'm eager for others to explore it.
It is packed with free content for 5ed D&D, including:
• A full world guidebook filled with lore and details
• New class, subclasses, races, spells, backgrounds, and monsters
• A complete introductory campaign to start your adventures in Dromaria
• A prologue comic for our upcoming Kindred comic books
We're excited to hear your thoughts and will continue to evolve the site, creating space for feedback as we go. This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to see where it leads!
Check it out: https://www.dromaria.com
Keep an eye out for Spooktober 2024 from Dromaria!

So, how is Spooktober going for you?
I am super excited about this challenge! It is so immersive and inspiring, so I decided to go a little wild. I'm trying to make a text adventure out of it. All of the articles for the prompts will be connected and your decisions will lead from one to another! It is still in development, but I have already released the first two articles (and a bonus one if you happen to take the route that leads to it)! Not all the choices are ready, but once it is completed I think it will be fun! So what do you think of this approach? Is it something you would enjoy? If you want to check it out, the journey starts from the "Lair", a mysterious circus that appears only once a year somewhere in Kena'an. Check it out below and tell me what you think!

Rohan's Journey continues!
Greetings fellow Anvilites! How was your week? What amazing tales were you crafting this time? I was super hyped to see that the second prompt for the Longest Journey challenge by Tyrdal was released!
I haven't entered this part of the challenge yet, because the submission time begins at October 7th. Yet, since I am very eager for this (and in general patience is not my virtue) I would like to share the second part of my work for this beautiful challenge. So, without further ado, here comes:

It was a busy week and I loved it!
This week has been a whirlwind of creativity, learning, and incredible discoveries. I’ve been diving deeper into custom CSS, thanks to the amazing World Anvil community on Discord, who’ve been so helpful in guiding me through the process.
Next, I want to invite you to explore some fresh content in my world of Kena'an, where I’ve been working on new lore and expanding the story. Your feedback is always welcome as I continue to build this universe.
I’m also thrilled to share that I’ve begun a new world called Chronicles of Blood. This setting is a tribute to Vampire: The Masquerade- my all time favorite TTRPG. You can meet the world’s narrator, a vampire journalist named Violette Jackson, who has a unique perspective on all the events that unfold. Here is her article:
Finally, since this platform helped so much get out of a chronic writer's block, I’ve started publishing a manuscript that I’m really excited to share with you all! It’s been a long time coming, and I can’t wait for you to read it and tell me what you think!
Wow, that was a long post! I am sorry about that. Before I go, I want to shout out some beautiful articles I’ve read recently by talented creators:
by demongrey
by Tillerz
by trollpete
Thank you all for your support, inspiration, and the incredible work you share every day!

MIS-POST But neat announcement!
Previous message was uh, definitely not intentionally posted LOL. Sorry.
Anyway, so last night I logged into my Amazon page and saw I was #9 in Teen/YA Fiction on Disabilities! It's no longer there at #9 but I do have the receipts and I can prove it LOL.
Anyway, if you would like to support an indie author who writes about being queer and disabled, please consider my debut book, Inarora's Excursion!

Updates 9/9
PHEW, there are 13 more days until the release of my MG/YA book, Inarora's Excursion and I feel like I'm losing my mind lmao. I'm scrambling for content, trying to make content on Bsky and TikTok and phew some days I just want to curl up and cry LOL.
Anyway, I did some editing of articles last week. I think it was Seri, Dahlnen, and then I made a new article: with the startings of my international relations. I didn't do it before because it wasn't QUITE necessary but as I work on book 2, I'm realizing: oof I have a LOT of international relations that is needed. And I'm even citing these fckers. Granted I haven't found it necessary to cite in articles YET but I have the citations made and ready. (Tell me you graduated college with research and citations beaten into you WITHOUT TELLING ME).
As y'all saw on Saturday, I have a new universal link. I was not vibing with Booklinker, and I like Books2Read much better https://books2read.com/SeraphAbellWrites
I also now have my amazon author page FINALLY set up https://author.amazon.com/profile so please consider giving that a follow!
I got some bit of writing done this week, but I've been bouncing between writing and work and marketing. (It's hard. Send help)
Anyway, I think that's all the updates I have for this week? I think???

Totally random update but important for readers.
I noticed my universal link wouldn't show enough links, because they only did like maybe two or three. Idk how the fuck to work that site for more links, so I've made another universal link with books2read. So if you want to pre-order on OTHER sites, please use this link! Thank you <3

Weekly Updates
Good afternoon, friends! I...did not do a WHOLE lot last week that was noteworthy to be quite honest. However, I will say...
I don't think I have ever talked about it here but I do write Naruto fanfiction https://archiveofourown.org/series/2549518. I posted the third/fourth chapter of "Castle of Glass" last week, after a few months' hiatus. I'm currently working on a new short story to add to the collection of CHAOS.
Let's see, what else. There are 20 days left before the release of Inarora's Excursion. I have gotten one ARC reader so far! If you want to be an ARC reader, please consider following my link! https://booksirens.com/book/D37TDM9/F6H902J; if not, please consider pre-ordering! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/123387128-inarora-s-excursion (Universal: https://mybook.to/SeraphAbellBooks)
I've updated my world meta to show the link to Inarora's Excursion in the footer with a link and the pitch!
I published a few articles that I'd had locked for a while.
Other than that...not a lot really happened this week. LOL

Updates: both WA and Book
So last week I successfully got my summer camp reading all done, faster than I expected but thankfully done and out of the way.
Summer Reading Challenge
At the end of it, I definitely did use it for some self-promo. Sorry, kinda not sorry. LOL.
I think soon, I'm going to work on more character profiles because I will need them in my next book or two. I especially need to work on Inarora's cousins and Priwen and Damyien more. I need to flesh these disasters out a little more.
In other news, right now my book is still set to release the 22nd of next month. That's almost a month away! Phew, that's kinda scary if you ask me. I'm THIS close to being a published author and it's creeping up so fast on me. I'm a little panicky, not gonna even lie, but I'll live. I'm always panicky LMAO.
In other news, both the paperback AND the e-book are available for pre-order! I'm still working on pre-order incentives but I'm gonna try to get those soon.

Lastly, I was on a live stream last night with two of my friends on YouTube and I had a blast. If you want to hear us ramble on about fanfiction writing as well as our own fanfiction, here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/live/kgOmDIql3Nw

Inarora's Excursion Release Date and Info!
So I've been talking occasionally here about my debut novel, Inarora's Excursion. This book has been 7 years in the making, where I didn't even look at it for about 3-4 years, and I can finally publish it! I'm genuinely very happy about it. I know this site is more about world building than for promotion but I still wanted to make a post. I won't post daily like I do on my socials, but maybe once a week here as a reminder and to update on how it's going.
So for right now, the release date is September 22, 2024! I'm getting it set up on IngramSpark (and having a conniption fit every single day). Working on getting it ready for pre-order, but sadly I've been fighting with Ingram all week about the cover template and I haven't had much luck.
Follow my GoodReads and add Ina's Excursion to your "want to read" so you can be notified when it comes out! https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/20534903.Seraph_Abell
I am DEFINITELY looking into pre-order goodies. I'm thinking stickers. Maybe bookmarks but I don't know yet? Maybe prints also. I want to do some raffles, too.
Anyway, thank you for staying through this ramble!

Inarora's Excursion; Need Help
Welp I might be getting my manuscript back sooner than expected, but the problem is that I'm still working on fixing my car up so I can't pay my editor for their services right now. Please consider donating to my ko-fi so I can pay my editor and get Inarora on track for publishing!
