New Year, New Goals 2025

And 2025 begins...

Looking Back...

2024 was a mixed year for my worldbuilding, I started off writing as much as I could and entering every unofficial challenge I could find (after finding my creative stride during WorldEmber 2024), went above and beyond my SummerCamp goals and reached diamond before truly and utterly hitting burnout at the end of july. The rest of the year became busy in real life, and I was forced to take a step back from worldbuilding which, although frustrating, ultimately helped my recover from the burnout and have the amazing WorldEmber I had this year!

Favourite Article 2024

My favourite article from 2024 was the article I created for Strions during WorldEmber. Building an article for one of my key species opened up many new ideas for my world and has given my lots of inspiration for future worldbuilding. This article allowed me to play around with formatting, layout and working with art which was something I had wanted to work on for a while. It is also one of the longest articles in this world and although I don't plan on writing articles this long all the time, it is somethign I would like to aspire to more frequently.

WorldEmber Reading

Over WorldEmber I read many amazing articles from a wide range of anvilites both new and old from which, as always makes it difficult to choose just ten to highlight. Here are articles that I've picked both because they inspire me to make changes in my own work but also because they are exciting, interesting and/or unique.

Note: Unfortunately, due to time constraints and a ridiculously busy January, I have not been able to leave individual comments about each article :(
