Worldbuilding halp
I need to preface this with: I am asking for art, however I will not consider any offers w/ Artificial Intelligence help. Sorry, I don't roll that way.
I really need help with architecture. I don't do good drawing buildings, I mostly draw people. My culture's architecture is kinda a mix of Western-ish style and Japanese styles of architecture. I don't need anything fancy, I'd accept sketches and be happy (might even want to practice coloring and lining if I'm allowed to <3 ). I'd be willing to either exchange some money or do an art trade. I just want to have a visual to help me when describing the architecture and also to add to my Endinsian article.
TYIA!

ADHD Hyperfixation Mode
WHOOPS I suddenly started hyperfixating on worldbuilding so I have a few new articles I'm working on LOL.
: the Dracids, or dragon bloods. Which...also was an article that I desperately needed to write. Oops. : The Cypher Unit, which... this was kinda a half-assed article but I felt like making something for it. Maybe one day I'll spice it up. But take what you can get, team. : Endinsian (Ethnicity), which also needed to be worked on but not as badly as the dracids or the Second Rhanalanian War. LOL. But this one is a full blown WIP right now, but wanted to show y'all that I was working on this. I really want to redo the letters for the language. Again. HALP.
Anyway. Uhhh I'll update when I have more :D
#WorldEmber #WorldEmber2024 #worldember #Worldember #UrbanFantasy #Fantasy
Also, I added an invite to my discord server! https://discord.gg/D9wxNmBE. It is supposed to be a safe place/community as well as a place to talk about my writings, including my Naruto fanfiction ^.^

WorldEmber 2024 Update
Sorry I have like...not really done much this year. It's been a stressful month between having to pull my book for some fixes, working constantly, and having to buy a brand new car, it's just been rough.
But I have three articles, though only two are actually up for the competition lol.
: Bloody Journalism Campaign, a campaign during the First Rhanalanian War to prevent the truth from reaching the outside world. Journalists were attacked in brutal ways. : Second Rhanalanian War, one that fully emancipated the Rhanalanians from the Naa'ran. : Ryan Walker, D.C., Yes, it's named that on purpose. Ish. Idk I thought it'd be funny/accurate for humans to do. Bc MURICA. It uh...is partially like Washington D.C. actually.

World Ember 2024!
Okay so I started the challenge doing something I realized that I desperately needed to do lmao.
The Second Intra-Continental War. That...have been in dire need of writing for like, almost two years ngl.
I probably will add more as the month goes on but this is the majority of the shit I need to get done. I will have to do more but idk what right now. But yay, that's finally off my to-do list.

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!

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

Seraph's Weekly Update!
Weekly updates! Been trudging along with Inarora 2. Trying to get back into the groove after being knocked off it badly a bit ago. I'm doing pretty good, averaging about 400 something words a day. Er...at least just the past few days it's been my average. I'm gonna try to focus more on it this week.
Did one article that I needed to do anyway, tbh, and I honestly love the route he took as I began characterizing him. Ei'rah al-Kanneyeh is loosely based off my poor interpretation of a former friend's character, which they complained massively about, so I decided, "Well I like my interpretation, so fine I'll take my interpretation and go since they don't like it." And the way Ei'rah bloomed as I wrote out his story was amazing, not gonna lie. Also, finally, I have a character with a beard LOL. That was desperately needed lmao.
Read more about al-Kanneyeh here!
I've been in struggling to promote mode with my release LOL. I'm like trying to get Inarora out there with very little success not gonna lie. But if anyone is curious, I do have a BookSiren ARC page for Inarora's Excursion if anyone is interested! https://booksirens.com/book/D37TDM9/F6H902J.
In writing/world-building unrelated news, I went to a con this weekend and got to meet Jiraiya's voice actor, and I got him to sign the drawing I made of Jiraiya and my Naruto OC, Tsukiya. Unfortunately I forgot to let it dry before storing it in my portfolio buuuuut oh well, I still know what was written on it LOL. And I mean the signature is still there just a liiiiiitle messy. Spent more money than I meant to though but oh well, worth it.
Anyway, I think that's all I've got for y'all this week? Stay safe, my friends.

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!

Last bit of articles AND good news!
I successfully did 16 articles this year! I was worried I wouldn't and then I just decided on a wildcard and said 'fuck it, let's go'. I would have done one sooner than last minute, but it's been an extremely rough week.
However, before I go into my last articles, I want to share good news! I am setting the date for publishing Inarora's Excursion to be September 22, 2024. So I'm going to be a published author in a little over a month and a half! I'll make a few other posts about it later on.
Anyway, last few articles hath arrived! I do apologize, I don't have much to really say about any of these articles but I am trying lol.
This was kind of inspired by the knowledge that we COULD have a cavity vaccine but they won't let it happen. Which honestly, I could use that vaccine but...anyway...here's the Anti-Cavity Salve LOL.
Illusion Tags. I'm sorry, not sorry, but they were inspired by Naruto. I just thought it was a neat idea. And ofc I took my own creative liberties.
Last one, made with love or hate. Idk, I just threw this together. But it is a very interesting concept so I figured, why the hell not?
Anyway, thank you all for the love you've given my articles this month. Good luck to the other competitors out there. :)

Two more articles down
It's been a really hard week for me so I haven't really done much in regards to these articles.
Arenai Taisha Shrine Probably one of my favorite articles that I didn't know I needed? Because this would make a great spot for Seri to take Inarora in a later story honestly, even as a short story. And if I can come up with more history behind it then even better, because I feel like Seri would info dump about the shrine while walking Inarora through.
Kiduli Islands This one isn't really my best article, as again I've been struggling the past week. I mean I hope it's good enough, I think it is, but with everything going on I'm kinda struggling through my remaining articles soooo yeah.

And if I can come up with more history behind it then even better, because I feel like Seri would info dump about the shrine while walking Inarora through.
Kiduli Islands This one isn't really my best article, as again I've been struggling the past week. I mean I hope it's good enough, I think it is, but with everything going on I'm kinda struggling through my remaining articles soooo yeah.

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!

Number Eleven done today!
Phew I'm almost done. I have five more articles to write and I gotta think about which ones I am gonna do.
Anyway, here are the three I've gotten done since the last time I posted:
I dunno what to say about this one honestly. This guy probably never makes an appearance in my book LOL.
This one might be my favorite for the sheer fact that this myth exists about my MC, Inarora, who literally wouldn't even hurt a fly. She is just the sweetest person ever and loves cuddling with her father(s and mom). She feels awful when she accidentally hurts a bug or animal, or even a plant! Shit, she feels awful when she knocks a plushie off her bed because she can't sleep normally. So it's funny that this myth even exists and literally every person who knows her is like, "LOL what?"
Lastly this is actually an article I've procrastinated on writing because I just didn't feel like it/I didn't feel like I had the right inspiration for it yet. But this is such a big thing because this is what killed the dragons that it needed to get written. So yippee! I got that done finally.
And I will work out the last five articles at some point soon. I'll get there. Eventually.

Halfway done!
Honestly, I'm really proud of my progress this week. I finally hit 8 articles, and I'm halfway to my goal!
Hwindhita Dasith This one, I'm not sure entirely on but I think with the creation of the Order of the Xoltin, I actually might continue with this idea because clearly, Inarora is gonna need that help.
Order of the Xoltin This one is honestly hilarious though because if one were to look at Inarora, then read this, they'd laugh. Like. Inarora won't even hurt a fly wtf you mean she's allegedly going to end the world? Are you on drugs? (they probably are on drugs)

Two done in one day?!
Doing these on weekends and telework days are honestly the best days for me lol. But ayo I got two of these bad boys down.
These guys...I really don't know. I just bullshitted it and sprayed with febreeze. Inspired by the fox spirits in east Asian culture, with a twist of my own (I hope it's like that anyway). Not my finest work but hey I wrote something.
This one kinda became a reference to like...The Bronx with a mix of Portsmouth, Virginia somehow. (I'm a Virginian don't judge me). Specifically, the casino is a reference to good ol' P-Town. No. I don't like that casino. What was your first clue? And I dunno. I guess it also has elements from other areas of the country too. Idk fully.
So I uh. Had some extra spoons for worldbuilding today. (I may or may not have been procrastinating draft 1.5 of my novel). Yippee

Fourth Article Down!
Phew! I have four articles down. I was lucky enough not to have to go out today so I decided, why not make article number four? Hopefully tomorrow and Tuesday will also involve some article writing. I always need an excuse to keep worldbuilding lmaoooooo.
Honestly, I'm v proud of all of these articles so far this year. And want to talk about each one so far
Original Ph'tani was my first one. In the book, I often talk about how the Naa'ran humans took over their country, so I'm actually glad I had to write this because I needed to have a good reference point for this. Milana I don't have much to say about. I wrote this one because of Rhanalan and the strife that happened, and I did realize they needed a safe zone. Or at least one they thought was safe. I don't think I expected to write it the way I did but I think I enjoyed how it came out. Okay this one was full bushittery and me drawing inspo from Luray Caverns in my home state of Virginia. Honestly, I should go one day. It's just unfortunately very much out of the way for me. But one day, I'll visit the place that inspired this article. I actually reference this festival in my first book towards the end but I didn't go into much detail. However, I wrote a short story with my bestie that did, in fact, feature this. I was stuck at first because I didn't know what to do. It's not quite a comfort thing but it is tradition, and it did start as a way to comfort the people of the country.
So I think I'm doing great and having a lot of fun this year lol.

#UrbanFantasy Masquerade
Fellow urban fantasy writers, what is your opinion of the masquerade trope (magic hidden from the general public)? I'm not the biggest fan of it. In my opinion, it takes away the opportunity to explore how magic would change our world.
What are your thoughts on that topic?
