Week 2

Review my homepage

I think the introduction is good, it gives an introduction of what Yeia is about, it sets the tone, is that the right expression? but some concepts such as the role of magic needs to be "updated". I don't know if I should add more categories to the homepage because I've the feeling that there are already a lot and if I add more the homepage might be a bit...saturated.   The map also needs an update since the dwarven realms in the present time are not yet represented on it (it might take). The same can be done for the some of the timelines that you see in the homepage. I need to keep working on them.  

Primer

The primer also need to be updated, there are new races, ethnic groups and realms that need an spot in that introduction. I think I haven't finished redoing it so this is a perfect moment for redoing it!. The primer could also be a good place for showing more of my art and some of the articles I made during these months and years.  

CSS wizardry

  I'm not a CSS wizard, but a humble apprentice. In fact I've to thank a lot to my friends in the WA community for having taught me some tricks and CSS "spells" for making my world and my articles better. I'd like to continue with this trend of improving my knowledge and skills with CSS in order to make my world better. What I'm planning to do with CSS is to keep doing especific themes for each culture as I've been doing these months.

Week 3

Read a book or watch a movie!

Lately I've been reading two books that are helping me creating new mythological stories , these two books are Journey to the West and the Silmarillion. The first is certainly waaay chonkier than the second one but I'm enjoying both!. And regarding movies and tv shows that have something in common with my world I watched Dungeon Meshi (Gosh, Ryoko Kui's worldbuilding is great and detailed!). I've to watch also The Dragon Prince (I stopped watching it in season 2 and I'd like to resume that show.

Create a moodboard

I've waaay to many images in Pinterest that serve me as inspiration. Perhaps I should search some of the folders in order to add some of them to show you guys the mood of the world and what is going to be add to it during WorldEmber.

Create or expand your writing playlist

I usually listen to music a lot while I'm writing or drawing (as well as some podcasts), but I don't have an specific playlist, I just choose the music or song I want to hear depending on the culture or the character I'm writing or drawing. But I think now it could be the right time to create a playlist. Most of it are soundtracks from videogames, films or tv shows (you can find some of them in my articles ^^).  

Week 4

Find a community

I'm very proud of being part of the WA community. I've met very wonderful people in these 4 for years since I joined Worldanvil, and it never ceases to amaze me how supportive and welcoming this community is. The STC are awesome!, and I enjoy their company, humor and support, and I don't know if they aware of how much their support and help means to me. The cookies cottage is also a nice an amazing group and I'm proud that they consider me a fellow cookie!.   I'll also share my articles in my social networks for everyone to see and so that you don't miss them!.

Plan your writing schedule

I'd try to write my articles during the afternoon and evening, those are the moments of the day when I've more time. If I need to add some artwork for the articles I'll try to make the drawings during the weekend. But this schedule of course is subject to change depending on my free time or even my mood.

Get some fresh air!

I've always had the oppinion that some fresh air is good for relaxing and return home with the head focused on your task ahead, the same applies to worldbuilding. I like to walk along the little river walk near my house, listening to the water flowing and the birds singing. It is certainly the perfect spot for me to relax before writing or drawing!.
