Worldember 2021 Pledge
Worldember Goals
My goal is to write 10k words during worldember & to complete at least 10 key articles in my world. Summercamp went amazing, and I've learned that setting a realistic goal works far better for me than a stretch goal. We're going to stick with what works. I've also learned that when I force myself, my writing is nowhere near as good as when I'm having fun. To honor this, I will not push myself to write any articles I don't want to write. I'll write the articles and sections I'm excited to write. To set myself up for success I will be preparing for Worldember throughout November. I've been putting off a lot of the key articles because they intimidate me. I think I'd have a far easier time if I had an outline to work from. I also think I'd have an easier time creating outlines if I had templates for the especially big articles like ethnicities and nations. Again, my guiding priniciple is to have fun. If I am not enjoying myself, I won't pressure myself. The Morning Realm is made of love.I did it!
