WEEK 2: ROOTS
Assignment 1
Look at the cultures and areas you’ll focus on for Summer Camp, and think about how their past shaped them.
I'll be working on Kasetia. I have been tossing around ideas for their history and origins, and plan on making some small retcons and changes.
Assignment 2
Go to your world’s homepage and imagine you’re a new reader discovering the setting for the first time. What should you change to make the experience more engaging?
I plan on looking into the guides provided as well as asking the opinions of others before I begin making changes.
Assignment 3
Find your earliest worldbuilding project. What mistakes did you make that you want to avoid? What good ideas from those early days can you integrate into your current project? Remember to take a moment to be proud of how far you've come!
I made plenty of organizational mistakes and inconsistencies in my writing, as well as improving over time. There are a lot of my older ideas that I can recycle and make better for another purpose.
Best of luck with all your goals! Enjoy Summer Camp :)
