Summer Camp 2021 Pledge
Shall the summer games begin
Summer Camp Pledge Document
This is the first time I will be participating in WAs summer camp. I have been a member of this community for about half a year now and granted, I haven't been very productive with my world. While the core idea of starting worldbuilding to improve my game design oriented mind and my english skills as a non-native speaker was the thing that made me start this whole project, the field I was diving into and the research on different topics is what made me stay.
Having my world organized for future expansions was a necessary step that I have kind of overlooked in the past. Well this had to change now and I came up with a compact and effective Category-System for myself.
I, ecl1psed, hereby pledge to write daily in the upcoming month so that I may improve my writing and worldbuilding skills.
The Pledge
Which project are your world-building efforts tied to?
Since I plan on writing one short story per region I create before moving on to the next one, I will naturally flesh out my region to ready myself for that story.What world are you working on?
I will be working on the only world I have created, Cathrea.Which area of the world are you working on?
I will work on my very first barony inside Zvaaraes.
: Village
: Town
How much are you aiming to complete?
As I have no idea how much free time I will actually have on my summer break, I will aim for the copper badge. Yet I will certainly try my hand at as many prompts as I can.When will you write?
The big resolution for my first summer camp is to write daily. On weekdays I will be writing in the evening after school and on weekends I will try and write in the morning.Who is your support network?
Mainly the wonderfully supportive World Anvil Discord I have recently joined and, of course, various subreddits and forums.Organizing my Worldbuilding

Of course, the biggest source of inspiration has been the WoldAnvil discord. The following examples have especially influenced me.
Writing daily is a great goal! Even doing small things, like what Summer Camp is built around, is great exercise. Good luck and welcome to Summer Camp!
Thanks for the kind words. Let's have fun this summer camp :D
