WorldEmber Pledge Document

WORLD EMBER PLEDGE AND GOALS:

It is time, worldember is coming!!!! And I am made of pure excitement!! So without further ado, my pledge and goals for World Ember are as follows;

I humbly pledge and commit to giving my all in pursuit of the following goals for the month of World Ember (and beyond if required)!

World Build my face off. 50k words minimum, 100k words or bust!!!

I intend to try and also complete category bingo, that is I want to enter an article into every category, and complete category bingo card on the World Ember 2021 article page. Why? Because its fun to challenge ones self!

This will also be a fond farewell to Suranth, the Tundra Realms, as I create fun and strange bits of lore, places, strange people etc, to give the setting some material that is smaller, more approachable, and less on the macro side of power and influence scale. Rulers, lords and the power structure is what it is, I've done all that large picture stuff almost completely (two more provincial capitals to finish, only one more to map out.) So now it is about a bit of scatter lore to give it some sprinkles. Some color. Some uuummph for the TTRPG Game Master in me, little nuggets that one can utilize to tie interesting stories. Because as of next year, we move to Depenwood, a whole new country and I'm super excited.

Support network:

We all need good support and allies, and this community provides so much of that during these challenges and its amazing!!! But we all need that in our lives too. People who care and will keep an eye on you to make sure you don't turn your own brain to mush. I am blessed with excellent support, as listed below;

My wonderful amazing other half, Selena, whom puts up with me shutting myself up for two months a year and writing like an insane person, and yet still loves me dearly. I am very lucky to have such an understanding partner.

My little fur noodles of madness, Kaos and Karma, my ferrets, whom love to distract me at just the right time, where frustration and/or burnout might be about to set in. They will come in, and attempt, adorably, to stash me, as a person. And I mean, how can I not play along and say no to such loving efforts?!

And of course, My TTRPG players and game group, whom are my dearest and best friends from childhood, for keeping me social two days a week, so I don't shut in completely for a month and just....forget how to human being.

With that, I humbly submit my pledge and plans. Rough, broad, but thats whats fun about WorldEmber! So, the countdown is on. The challenge is laid, the gauntlet is thrown. Lets light up the forge, and get ready to worldbuild like mad!!!!
