WorldEmber 2021 Pledge Document
I pledge to write 25,000 words of worldbuilding during December!So... it seems that December is a writing month too. Except is not a writing month, is a Worldbuilding month, ideal for pantser wrimos who have just started exploring the world for their novel, and would find helpfull to put it all together before doing revisions in January. That's not exactly my case, but it's close enough. This nameless country has been there for a long, long time, and I've written short stories about the characters before, but even after editing the main story, I never focused in worldbuilding as such. It was all about the plot and the rules that were in my head. Hopefully, this will help with the descriptions (my worst enemy) and to the next revision of consistency. And there is the story that I want to write but needs some worldbuilding that I'm afraid to do. There, I said it. And just like that, now this is part of the plan; now there are three sides of this world: Fred 's version, Molly's version and, the fiction inside the fiction: Evil Aaron 's reality .
Be prepared
Be inspired
Be... judgy?
The plan
I'll go back to the old proved tradition: I'll sit everyday to write, as early as possible, and for as long as life allows (which goes from 15 minutes to 4 hours, depending on a lot of things).
I'll do my best to reach 25K words, but I'll focus more on getting useful articles, so I won't be troubled if I don't get there. And if I am, please remind me that I shouldn't.The support network
For now, I'm just partially counting on WA community, particularly Writers and people in the Kiosko channel. But I would be happy to have a writing buddy... Anybody interested?

I've done the same thing, except that I named the country my WriMo project is in for myself in a tongue-in-cheek moment to see if the players in my campaign would notice. Now I'm stuck with it. (Well, not really, but you know) I've been writing inside this country (empire, really) with only the vaguest ideas of how everything in there works. It looks like you have a solid plan here. Good luck! p.s. - I'm always down to be someone's writing buddy, if you need someone to bounce things off of, or if you just need someone to ask you, "Hey, have you poked around in your world today?"
Yes, I think I know what you mean. :D And, I'll go visit your profile to talk about the writing buddy topic!
