Assignment 2

Go to your world’s homepage and imagine you’re a new reader discovering the setting for the first time. What should you change to make the experience more engaging?

I've moved things around so that I think the homepage looks neater. But honestly, this is an area that I would love feed back on. I really don't know if the home page presents a good hook for the world or if the articles I offer as the starting point are a good introduction to the world. I would really love your thoughts on it.

Assignment 3

Find your earliest worldbuilding project. What mistakes did you make that you want to avoid? What good ideas from those early days can you integrate into your current project? Remember to take a moment to be proud of how far you've come!

My earliest world build project is Aer. I started making that world back in 1995... The biggest mistake that I made when I started that world was failing to take good notes. I just dreamed things into being and slapped things together on whim. Nothing ever really seemed to fit together correctly. Years later, I reworked that world and included its disjointed nature into the story of the world. I love that world, but I would never want to make a world that way again. I learned so much from that first project. I have recently added it to World Anvil, but it is just a tiny bit of it. Most of it is still collected in spiral bound note books and three ring binders.
