What is Summer Camp?
SummerCamp is an event held by World Anvil! During the Summer, Anvilites join together to write and create Articles based on specific prompts! It's a great occasion to meet others, share your work, and challenge your creativity; a month long quest to expand your setting!
Last year, I caught the near-end of SummerCamp, but was able to obtain the Copper Badge! I was initially timid on World Anvil- until I met the right Anvilites and began to enjoy the process more!
This year, I'll be attempting the coveted Diamond Badge! 32 Prompts! I look forward to the Challenge!
Question! Question!
"Share some advice that helps improve your Worldbuilding!"

Explore Tynen's altered Historical Fiction with a rich Timeline of Events and many Articles that will have you pondering the alternatives!
Note:It has been difficult keeping up with reading an Article a day, and the tumult of activity around working towards 32 Prompts and maintaining my normal job. But, with that in mind, as much as you make time for writing, make time for reading too! It is an enriching experience that benefits you and the Writer. This is why I promote and encourage reading and writing, as well as supporting one another! Best of good luck out there, Anvilites!
Under the Hood
In Progress: Summer Camp Stamina
In order to get through the remaining Prompts, I believe I'm going to take a Word Sprint approach. I do not believe in giving up Quality for Quantity- in anything that I attempt to do. After weight and consideration, I believe it will take a celeritous approach to reach the target goal by the end of the Month. I promise substantial content- especially in the revisions to come!
Therefore, there are some Prompts that I'll be prioritizing over others. I'm not in it for the Prizes, but if I can receive valuable feedback from the Community and especially the Sponsors, that would be its own reward. I always attempt to put my best work forward, but I'm in an innovative process at the moment. Revisions can come later! I keep telling myself this!
To be fair, I've not submitted ANY work yet, so everything is WIP until there's a windfall of Articles soon! Consider giving feedback, so that I may present good work! Ad interim, here's 4 Potential Prompts, coming to you in the Future!

Question! Question!
"What inspired the creation of your World's main setting?"
- Each setting, be it a story or game, has a strong tone or vibe that indicates what kind of work or genre it may be. What inspired you to do Fantasy? Sci-Fi? Narratives or Lore? You know I want to know down below!
- Story-Telling & Game-Development, as well as reading the works of Authors such as Keith Francis Strohm, Ed Greenwood, R.A. Salvatore, Tracy Hickman. Comic writer Stan Lee also influences my approach to multi-media. I quite enjoy stories that include interactive medias- makes me feel invested as a minor part of the tapestry of modern tradition.
Exploration? Fantasy? Romance? Suspense?
Where is your inspiration?
Art & Music, and those Meta-Worlds created from the compilation of sound symphony and vibrant visual bliss. I love the potential of the "Anime" aesthetic.

A Letter to the Editor!
Inquiry! From my friend, Tyrdal!
"Out of all the ages, which one is your favorite to write for?"
Thank you, Tyrdal, for the engaging question! As I develop more skills, I'll advance the History of Arc Sagas through various Ages. Expect new assets and content soon!
Currently, I'm enjoying the Ice Age! It's fascinating and challenging to see the world evolve from such a primitive state. By altering the visual parameters of Articles, I aim to create a unique atmosphere that progresses with the project's history!
I am, however, looking forward to the upcoming Age: the Thunder Age! As well as the more advanced Ages, such as the Draconic Epochs and of course, Pathon's Renaissance Age! I'll look forward to seeing you in the Past, in the Future, friends! Happy Reading!

Summer Camp 24'!
Summer Camp 24'!
I love this! This newsletter is such a fun idea! "And just HOW do you DO it?" Well, thank you for asking! I don't know. Usually I just write whenever the inspiration strikes me, so I'm horrifically inconsistent. But for things like SC or WE I really double down and focus on the prompts relying on the homework to help and give me ideas. I also just always tend to work better at night, so I always set aside an hour or so to knock out a prompt or two! "What inspired the creation of your World's main setting?" love this question! A lot of things honestly. It also depends on the world. My Offenders Neighborhood world is based in the real world, so a lot of the things that give me inspiration for that are the technological advancements that might be happening in real time in the real world. Also, the people that I meet. Because most people are already very familiar with the setting it gives me a larger opportunity to flesh out characters and meeting new people and talking to them is always a nice way to get a fresh perspective! Thank you for your time, and I look forward to reading more newsletters. Best wishes in Worldbuilding, and good luck with Summer Camp!
Thank you for sharing your insights! I believe it is absolutely important to spare time in a day for either reading or writing! My favorite time of day is night, also! It's nice when the worries of the day melt away and give in to the night, where the world sleeps surrounding but you're still up with people's dreams. That's my romantic perspective of it anyways lol I'd like to add that the people I meet also inspire me! Every once in a while you'll find a small reference to a person, thing, or situation in real life. I also believe it is important to be open-minded so that ideas and inspirations can come from anywhere! You never know when you're going to turn a corner into something magical in this Life. ^^ No, please! Thank you for your time! Engagements like these make me happy to do the Newsletter! Best of good luck with your Summer Camp goals and Happy Worldbuilding, as well, friend! : D
