Worldember 2025 prep |Yeia|
As the song goes: Its the most beautiful time of the year!! . WorldEmber is almost here ! and I'm super hyped since it is my favourite challenge! (you guys probably know that already) . Last year I also spent all the month of November preparing for the challenge, collecting ideas for the articles as well as preparing some of the drawings, so I'll try to have another productive November this year as well.
Pledge
Usually my plan was to focus on a different continent during each WE but this year I think I'm going to write articles related to both continents instead of focus on just one considering the ideas that I've for this edition of WorldEmber. My plan is to write 10.000 words and perhaps reach 25K if I can , or at least surpass the 19K words I wrote last year, fingers crossed!.Follow my world if you want to get a look to my articles during WE! <3
Bingo time!!
Play your worldbuilding playlist
Show spoiler
Music is a key part of my worldbuilding I use it for writing/drawing and to set the mood of my world. Many of you already notice that I usually add music to my articles to give my readers an idea of what they're going to read , a background or to set the mood for reading that article. Considering the topics I've chosen for this year these are the songs that I'm going to be part of my playlist during December (Some are from videogames, others from movies/series)
Make a list of articles to write
- Blatian legionary rations
- Warrior Priestesses of Taronsha shrine
- Nord Raids into the Seris Empire
- Peninsula of Moria
- Morian Cowboys
- Southern Dragon
- The Pirate-Emperor
- Aruke Anao, the tiger of Uzui
- Yemu, the great sage
- Empire of Cloudia
- Kingdom of the Snow Elves
- Zerah's icon
- Anastasia the tiefling
- Battle of Grey Hill
- Kingdom of Gorhas
- Poetry contest at the Imperial Palace
Plan your writing schedule
Well it's difficult to say when I would be able to write but I assume that if things go at it should be I could be writing my articles during the evening or during the morning, and making the drawings that I couldn't finish in November during the weekends since it is when I have more free time.What are the people in your world like?
I think that reading through the many articles of Yeia you can find a wide variety of characters and people. From friendly people and brave adventurers, thieves, bards... to mighty rulers and greedy and wicked tyrants. And also I can't forget about the gods and spirits that inhabit the place and rule the destinies and fortunes of men!.Do some pre writing research
This is one of the most fun part for me (but also one of the most time consuming (as well as drawing complex, detailed drawings) . For some of the articles in the list above I've consulted (and still consulting) some history books for inspirations and ideas, since I'm not acquainted with some regions, events and periods of history that are the inspiration for some of Yeia's civilizations. Some of this events are going to have a slight "twist" that I hope you'd like. To give you an idea of what books I'm consulting I'm reading a book about Japanese history and another about Spanish California for two of the articles as well as collecting some images for creating the fashion for the characters.
It really is the most beautiful time of the year, isn't it? I love worldember <3 Let's have all the fun! Best of luck with your goal and I wish you indeed surpass your 19k from last year Deivi :)
IT IS!!! I love it as well!! Thank you so much for you wishes and kind words Imagica, I sincerely hope that you have tons of fun and best of luck with your goal as well!
