Soup for Tomorrow: The pledge for more soup.

Yes, you read that right, 500,000 words, or over 16,000 per day. We need to get this dead horse back on its feet and it's going to take a hell of a lot of CPR.
Things to consider in writing: ( no excuse for not making this goal >:\ )

• Calendar, Time, and how they interact with culture
• Biodiversity in food, culture, and society
• Biology of the Ibrovinid
• Language and writing systems (got lots of ideas here)
• Elironid history
• The city-states of Varonith
• Geography, so much geography
• Societal evolution and innovation
• customs, rules, and such

The word count will be tracked daily as part of the announcement system
    Area of Focus: ALL OF IT.

Week 2 Stuff

I've added a brief introduction, which states the background context, but I'm not going to add a primer, mainly because this is meant to be a Wikipedia-esque thing and i think (personally) that having a dedicated page with the jargon on who's who and whatnot might accidentally puts ome bias on who should be the center of attention. My whole deal is that there is so much happening that all such things are the center of attention, and I can't really say anything other than what I already have going on in the Introduction and/or each topic's relevant article pages. It just seems a bit redundant overall to repeat what I've already said elsewhere.
Again, I am doing this solely for myself. I don't care if this post, or anything in this world, gets attention. I need this to come back alive again first and foremost. And no, I don't know CSS.

Week 3 Stuff

What I cherish most, and what motivates me to keep learning, is an unbias fascination in complexity. I enjoy browsing on Wikipedia, and actively search for this Wikipedia-esque feeling in my work, because of the fact that it feels like I'm discovering new things left and right, even in areas I thought myself already very knowledgeable in. I love the all-encompassing nature of culture, and how it shapes every facet of a life, so I want to step outside the box of 'traditional' worldbuilding and approach this very, very analytically. As such, there isn't really any substitute besides Wikipedia itself, but within its main confines I find solace most in the histories of Southeast Asia and the Americas, simply because they are so different from what I am typically used to.
As for music, I have become interested in Mozart's piano concertos, most importantly the 20th, 21th, 22nd, 23rd, and 25th. My experience with Mozart in general have been quite eye-opening. Even just a month ago I found him a bit boring, a bit run-of-the-mill, only because I was still quite hyperfocused on 19th-20th century composers like Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Stravinsky, Saint-Saens, Ravel, Tchaikovsky, etc. Compared to them, Capital-C Classical music seems a bit predictable, a bit formulaic, but in these Piano Concertoes I see the same amount of emotion, of dynamism, of excitement that I often see in these later periods. Quite fascinating in itself, but the fact that this also reinforces the whole notion that I should broaden my views to include those I've often overlooked is quite poignant.
