WorldEmber is almost heeeere!! I can feel it! November marks the start of the official WorldEmber Prep Month in World Anvil and I'm much too excited to wait until Friday for our homework this year.   Thankfully many of my friends are feeling the same too, which sparked Stormbril to come up with an early homework idea!  

Go back through your previous events (WorldEmber or otherwise!) and pick out the articles you were most happy to create or most happy with in the end, and try to figure out why! Is it just because of the end result, or is it because of how it ties into the rest of your world? Make a list of them and share them with your followers or via a journal post, and then think about how you might recapture that feeling this year :D

Reflecting on previous events

WorldEmber has often been the event in which I create my best work and favourite worldbuilding concepts :D

Gauntlet: this full blown card game was so much fun and I think my enthusiasm really shines through in this article with the extra details to the presentation of it

Corvidans: I'm particularly fond of this article for the time I spent illustrating this species

Rréraliázi: I really enjoyed nerding out on numbers in this language article and making a bizarre counting gif was super fun!

The Common Calendar: I'm also really proud of this calendar because of the effort I put into its design

Reflecting back on these in comparison to other articles I created during previous events, the ones that I put more love into were the ones I enjoyed the most (and that other people enjoyed, too)!  

Plans for this year

If you had sussed out the secret message from my previous update or have spotted a sneaky addition to my user signature - I have created a new world!!   I am delighted to announce my latest worldbuilding project:
Journals of Yesteryear   JOY is an optimistic leaning, neutral-bright fantasy world with derpy magical creatures, floaty islands, mouth-watering food, and adventure-filled vistas full of overgrown ruins - all presented in the format of journal pages with a quirky combination of loose sketches and colourful pixel art.   I'm just setting things up at the moment, but you're welcome to come and take a look! I'll be sharing my proper WorldEmber homework there shortly, and you can take a sneak peek at my Spooktober stubs that I snuck in last minute! :D       #EarlyHomework #HomeworkClub
