#worldember23

I really did think I was finished, and then I wrote a pretty big article fleshing out the religion for one of the peoples/communities I hadn't done yet. D: But I started and it just was flowing, so, 2,000 words or so later.... here it is! And of course now I'm cranking out the details and deities themselves. :D The gap between 25k and 50k words feels insurmountable, but I definitely passed 25k far on accident ;). Keep writing everyone!

Got it done!
Well, I met and exceeded my goal for my first "real" Worldember. Last year I vaguely knew it was a thing but didn't really engage or make much progress, so my goal for 2023 was to actually make it to 10k words. Since I've gotten over 27k with two or three days left to play around, I'm feeling pretty great! And I love seeing all of the community stuff going on. I haven't had time to delve deeply into other people's worlds or I wouldn't be making any progress on my own, but I'm so looking forward to reading some of the stuff everyone has come up with in weeks and months to come.   My Goals
I'm also excited to say that participating in Worldember prep in November and setting goals gave me the push and motivating I needed to flesh out some parts of my world history I had been procrastinating on. There's still a lot to do, but I was able to go in and put names and dates to some things that previously hadn't had them, and jot down real notes for things to work on in the future. I may have realized that I prefer people and character-focused worldbuilding to conflict and history heavy, but that just means I'll have to find a way to write those things through the lens of people to make it happen!   My Favorite Article   The Most Goal-Focused Thing I Wrote   Short and Sweet   #worldember #worldember23 #worldember2023

It feels great being that far. #WorldEmber23 is a lot of fun and I'm so glad to be able to participate.
  I've been posting a lot of my own art, which has been a journey in and of itself, getting to a point where I'm comfortable. :) I love seeing everyone's inventive entries.
  ESPECIALLY the different characters and materials!!!
  My article I'm most proud of is tied between

i'm real pleased with myself -- i've gotten 5 whole pieces done in prep for #WorldEmber23 ! I may not know how to code, but I sure can sketch.

Well, here we are again, coming to the end of the year....what?? How did that happen? Anyway, December is drawing ever closer and so I have tentatively decided to once again attempt World Ember. My goal is to aim for at least around 10k words, but as it could be a rather hectic month, I'll be happy if I get any words done. This year I'll be working on a brand new world and project: Beyond the Runegate. Much like the main character, I have no idea what lies ahead or where it will take me. It'll be a whole new adventure.
