I'm hopeful for this year!
I'm aiming for a minimum of 10k words, but not going to stress if I get less.
My bingo card includes, the Bottom Row!
Re-read Core Articles
I still get in my head about this! I often prune or edit things to make more sense as some of the articles are a few years old when I've made more recent edits. BUT that makes it rather hard for new readers to pop in and get a better grasp of the world rather than get to read random snippets. When I'm writing my articles I have so many hyperlinks! But as a non-cedes, most articles are lucky to have one or two remaining hyperlinks. Re-reading, and re-doing core articles are a must!
Join the Community
I've always been on the discord! Do I interact much? Not really... my most active times are during events, and whenever I have a little status update or check out someone else's articles (and most times forget to comment, shame on me!)
I'll try to be more diligent and keep my conversations here.
Review Visuals Appearance of Dola Vonde
This is the one I'm most nervous about. I've dabbled very vaguely with my appearance on my worlds, I'm a bit impatient when it comes to CSS as I'm terrible at it. I'm more or less fine with it, but what I
really want to explore is making the indivusla articles more appealing visually. I still struggle with arranging the areas appropiately. My go to so far is main paragraph as a default, some info in the side bar, with a quote about the subject from a random character with often times a vague descriptive.
I love making artwork, but even that I haven't streamlined into the format I want, and I do worry I'd focus on the artwork than actually develping the writing.
I'm going to experiment a bit until then to find a new (or even a few more) methods that I enjoy with the visuals!
Go for a Walk
I work to and from work most days, a 18 minute walk. It's nice, and I'm often playing Pokemon Go and listening to casual music when not in a rush.
I do have a writing playlist, mostly made up of
Blue Turtle @ Youtube, and will take a break from my game and listen to this to see if that can spark a bit more ideas for writing, namely walking back so the ideas are ~fresh~ in my mind!
What Adjectives would I describe the world with?
I seem to love to change it regularly.
When I work on Dola Vonde on World Anvil, I take a more nuetral stance in writing and describing things, I'm focusing on getting the information out. I have quickly realized the little snippets of character's voices coming out in the quotes in the sidebar often times let me get a giggle in.
And when I write for my Visual Novel scripts, I try to ellicit two very
different tones.
A similar tone to when I write here, informative and nuetral.
Or, when I'm writing the character voices in a more light hearted manner.
So when I look at Dola Vonde and the adjectives to describe it, it's all OVER the place haha, as both are true.
But in short, to the readers coming in, I'd describe Dola Vonde as a fantasical, grim-bright world in a medieval-esque setting.
But it can also be read as Slice-of-Fantasy-Life in some articles, especailly when written by characters just living the lives.
