World Ember 2024 Recap

Little Recap Ramble

It's safe to say that this WorldEmber was a resounding success for me. Last years was fine, but it ended in a mad rush that kind of tainted my whole experience. This year was very different. I had a plan, a release schedule, which i largely managed to follow. I did deviate from the list of article i wanted to tackle, but eh, no plan survives first contact anyways. I locked in early, and in the first week, delivered on not only World Ember entries, but also unofficial challenges that ran this month, and after that, it was pretty much smooth sailing until January. I managed to write more this year, while having less time to do so than last year.   I did make a conscious decision after Christmas to tackle smaller articles, in order to prevent burn out and a pile of half-completed articles or stubs and that was largely a success as well. I do still have 100s of stubs, so in 2025, the war against stubs continues raging on!
Wanna see the plans i had for World Ember and how well i followed them?

My 2025 resolutions

  • Get a graphic tablet so i don't have to suffer making sub-par art on my phone anymore
  • Make more and better quality art for larger, text heavy articles
  • Make a partial world Map out of the three continental maps already published.
  • Just like i did last year, i want to participate in every official WA Challenge if possible
  • Improve my BBcode/ formating skills and try to learn CSS

Less concrete objectives

  • Seriously consider creating another WA world. (Cyberpunk/Dystopian/Post-ApocalypseMainly set in Northern Canada/Dystopian)
  • Begin writting book 1 of Chronicles of Hysal by the end of the year, on WA's Manuscript feature.

WE 2024 reading list!

Thanks for including my Tree Octopus! They have taken over my likes and I think I need to feature them heavily in 2025 :)   Happy New Year!

Making your own art is a time consuming process but quite rewarding in the long run (and is something I should be doing more often myself!) Good luck with your goals this year! And thanks for the mention.
