WorldEmber Prep 2025

So I pledge to the right 25,000 in the month of the suburb to build Elema and Averia. I am composing stories in two different universes for Novelember. During December, I'll be doing a lot of world building based on the stories I'm writing. Is there special prompt articles or any fun gimmicks like normal? I'll definitely do them, and I'll either use material from the stories or develop new material. But November is going to be book writing, and December will be taking what I wrote and anything else encouraging the two worlds.     So now on to the bingo preparation, and when I noticed that it was a bingo card, I'm sorry to inform you that I played blackout.    

1. Review and collect your global inspirations.

Elema is the fanisty world I've been creating for years to house many of my and my wife's fantasy characters, write stories, and develop my own universe where science and magic coexist. Inspiration comes from anywhere and anything. I've seen innumerable animes, played endless games, learned about music, science, and our world. Even my faith in God and my desire to comprehend how difficult our world was to make and how chaos and order functioned together. It's giving me a perspective on the difficulty of establishing our planet.   Averia is my new universe, created for the story I wanted to tell. Isekia Anime serves as the inspiration and source of ideas for the tale and world. The concept of transferring to another universe and how it works. So, sure, I appreciate incorporating many of the anime cliches into this universe and making them work and play well. the idea that got me making it is what if two kingdom at world and both summon hero from are world at same time and another person was got in loss in the world. that the basic idea of it.  

2. Go for a walk.

My work include walks every day, but I went to the park today and walked around with my wife to discuss the current chapter I'm working on, so I technically took an extra walk.  

3. Get feedback.

I've actually received a lot of feedback recently because I gave the first five chapters of the book I'm working on to a handful of pals, and my players constantly criticize my universe and worldbuilding. And my wife always gives me input, even if she doesn't want to be so critical. It's her natural palette and character.  

4. Join the community!

I'm already a member of the World Emeralds community on Discord, Facebook, and Twitch; I'm just bad at interacting online. But everyone I've talked to or connected with in the past has been fantastic; there are so many cool worlds and ideas out there.  

5. Find accuntability buddy

I have one it my wife but I would mind another person or more to talk about world ember and world building.  

6. Tidy up you writing space

Done and put up stuff that I was useing at the moment  

7. Creare a moodboard for your world

I didn't need to create a motherboard because literally my whole house is geeked out, and I made pictures on the walls, tabletop RPG miniatures, and anime figures all over the house. My house is literally inspiration and relaxation to me, so I have a living motherboard that gets updated constantly with new stuff I get or cons I go to.  

8.Review and set up your own world home page

Elema’s Home page section is mostly finished just needs some cleanup. I’ve created a new selection of content for my players, and I’ll probably be adding another article either during WorldEmber or in January once I finish designing the Primal Elements. That tab will basically hold the foundational knowledge of how my world works.   For Averia, I’ve created the introduction and will be leaving it with the basics for now since it’s a brand-new world. Later on, for both worlds, I plan to experiment with custom CSS or layout coding so I can make the pages look cooler and design my own visual style.  

9. Review your category trees

Elema is already designed in large concept so I didn't have to do anything for it. Averia I have built some new categories and we'll probably be adding more as I world build but I need it. Basically the three main kingdoms heroes and OK basic information tabs all I built struggle   So my goal I already know what I want to tackle. My goal this year is to hit 50,000 words, which I’ve done for the last couple years without much trouble. This is also the first year I completed the November writing challenge for my book, and that momentum is carrying me into December. Right now, I’m actively writing 3 stories:   • My main story set in Elema I been slowly writing   • A side story in Elema about the Wizard King   • A side Main story set in Averia The idea Isekia story I want to write   Switching between them helps me keep ideas fresh. When I get stuck on one, I let my brain work things out in the background while writing the other. At the moment of writing this, I have five chapters drafted and divided up. My plan is to spend WorldEmber fleshing out the worldbuilding for everything I’ve already introduced in those chapters.  

10. Define your scope for wolrd Ember

My plan is to take everything I’ve created, designed, or invented off the top of my head while writing, and fully develop it into proper worldbuilding articles. This includes characters, locations, magic systems, items, and anything else that appears in the stories. If WorldEmber includes any category challenges that fit what I’m working on, I’ll take those on as well.   I also expect to create some new content just for fun. For example, I have an idea for a light-and-dark sword I want to flesh out but that’s more of a side project, and my main focus in Novmber still the story writing. December, however, is my worldbuilding playground where let loss and world all.   For WorldEmber, my priority is to expand and refine the worldbuilding behind my stories so the narrative has stronger foundations and I fully understand where everything in the world comes from when I continue writing.  

11. Finshes all your unfinished article

Elema and Averia don’t currently have any unfinished articles though I admit I sometimes forget to hit the “Work in Progress” button. I’m still getting used to the new UI, and the updated category layout makes things a little harder to find. So if I do have any unfinished articles hiding somewhere, I’ll have to track them down later. For now, I’m learning the new interface while balancing worldbuilding and story writing.  

12. Prepare visual elements for your articles.

I won’t be preparing visual elements ahead of time, because I prefer to draw or design things as I build them. I’ll be creating the visuals alongside the worldbuilding itself. It also gives me a good break so my mind doesn’t get overwhelmed with constant writing.  

13. Make a list of Stubs to Expand

Averia doesn’t have any stubs yet since it’s a brand-new world, but Elema has quite a few. I’ve cleaned up some, rewritten others, and found several that I don’t need anymore. I was honestly surprised by how many stubs I actually had. I’ll work on a few of them during WorldEmber, but the majority of my content will still come from the stories I’m actively writing.  

14. Plain your Writing Schedule

During the week, I work as a security guard, which gives me plenty of time to draft ideas and create rough articles using voice-to-text on my phone. On Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and every other Saturday, I plan to dedicate at least two hours each night to writing and worldbuilding. This is my schedule for WorldEmber, and with it, I’m hoping to get everything done.  

15. What are People like in Worlds

Just like here on Earth, there’s a wide variety of personalities across every species. You’ll find kind-hearted souls, devoted caretakers, sarcastic jokesters, powerful tyrants, and even the occasional psychotic individual. I tend to write a lot of good-natured characters because I find them more interesting, but the darker sides of the world are definitely present too—and everything in between. My worlds include all types of people.  

16. Refresh you author page for new raders

So I updated my author page and cleaned it up. So it should be easyer to read and have a little more info but mostly still the same just more easy to read now.  

17. Review your visual appearance

I want to make something cool, but I’m not sure what kind of design I want for my home pages for my two worlds. I’m good at creating and designing things inside my worlds, but layout and functionality are kind of hard for my head they’re not really my cup of tea. Then there’s the coding. I want to make the pages my own and make them look good, but I’m terrible at coding. I can understand things and copy paste, but making something high functioning and working exactly the way I want is tough.   So I definitely need some help and guidance from people who know both coding and design, because I’m not exactly sure what I want yet I just know I want it to look cool, match my art style, and not overwhelm readers. I want people to be able to actually see and explore the world, not get lost in the visuals.   So that’s a future project. For now, I’ve at least done the basics for both worlds using what World Anvil provides.  

18. Read-read your core articles

For Elema, I’ve reread a lot of the old and core articles. I’m also working on a challenge where I’m writing the primary elements, and I’m slowly putting it all together. I had to take a break from that this month because of the story-writing challenge. I didn’t hit 50,000 words, sadly, but I did finish three new chapters for the main Elema story I’m writing.   I also made pretty good progress on the side story and the story for my isekai world. Those are another big core part of what I keep rereading and refining for my worldbuilding.  

19. Rewiew your world primer article

So my primer is actually just a group of articles I’ve given my players, plus the stories we’ve worked out together. I basically tell them they can create almost anything, and I just give them some guidelines using both my ideas and the Pathfinder rules. So I already have a primer—it’s just on Discord for my players to access anytime.   It includes several different articles, a list of species, a list of magics, basic concepts, and more. And it really helped them out when we were building characters.  

20. What abjectives describe your world?

Here are the worlds   Elama world: Fantasy high science, high magic, Dragons, RPG's, accent, adventure, emotional, connections, drama, deep lore, multiple species, multiple gods, Elementals, kingdoms, real structures and possibilities, discovery, Monsters, beast animals,   Averia world: Anime, isekai, adventure, magic, unexpected, fantasy, drama, social, political, kingdoms, anime tropes, Civil war, discovery  

21. Make a list of articles to write

All right, I made my article writing list, and I’ve got over 40 items on it thanks to the three stories I was working on. I’ve created a lot of stuff and I know where each of these stories is headed. I also found out I wrote myself into a corner where I need to do some worldbuilding—like in my main story, they’re hunting down a Bog Titan, and I only have the basic idea of what it is.   It’s a hive-mind bug creature that lives in the swamps and can control mud, making swamp golems to defend its territory. So I can’t wait to worldbuild everything I wrote short or quick entries for, or the things I just made up on the spot.  

22. Plan your worldbuilding play list

Luckily, I have several playlists and music collections on YouTube—and they just keep growing. YouTube also has a ton of great background ambience for D&D games and other video games, all safely saved and ready for me to use whenever I’m worldbuilding.  

23. Read a book

I readed spiderman comic and FMA manga. I love FMA but I think the writer like do spiderman dirty but he all way get back and keep going.  

24. Do some Pre Writing research

Right now I’m looking up bugs in the swamp and getting ready to make the Bog Titan—the big bug creature in my story that the characters are searching for. I love doing research on our world and others to get ideas or to understand certain concepts better so I can use them in my own world.  

25. Free Space

Black Out I win. and know my home work is done and cant wait to world build in World Ember. Let all have fun see you all their. Read
