I am a Builder of Worlds

-

 I have finally posted to RoyalRoad for The Adventures of Owen the Owl. Now, my work is done for the rest of the week... For now! I have world build with Owen's world. I'm now writing a blog and promoting it like a good little author. I'm on Facebook, Bluesky, and Substack.

Now, advert over!

I want to focus on world building this week. Yes, I know I said I'll work on Sassy's story but I really am in the mood to world build all of the stories I want to focus on. It's a lot and if I can knock down some of them, I'll be happy. It is distracting and I'm having fun.

I am currently filling out Rochelle's and Brad's shared series bible as I like to call it. I am typing out what I have from my notebook and onto my secret doc. I got a lot more characters then what it is in my notebook/doc. I still got to make an antagonist for the story. I'll add more with sticky notes/post-its if I cannot get through with things... What if my own personal plot twist is that I already have those? It would keep in step with the story. Just saying!

Solving problems as I write! That's what writers do. Give me a pizza for my brilliant skills. Kidding, please don't.

So, today, an author does these writing sprints and they're 30 minutes long. I do my best to focus for 30 but I do get a lot done. This is why I go to the library! Just to focus. Anyways, so I asked this author about world building because I felt like I was missing some details. He gave me his blessing (it felt like a blessing to me) that I could start writing for Sassy, for Owen, because I got down some of the basics and important info down already. I gave him a list of what I had and I'll share it with you. Now, I have to say this: He said to keep it light for now until you really start writing. You can add them in later on.

Setting

Characters (both major and minor)

Magic System

Currency

Timeline

Government

This was so freeing to hear that with just this info that I could start writing if I so choose. I did write Owen's second chapter and posted to RR as I've stated above. Now, I'm just world building everyone else's story I'm itching to do. Just doing Rochelle's first because DnD! I think next I want to do Dominic's story. I think I'll rewrite the title. I still think it would be fun to do a widower's story.

I'll write more when I can. For now, I want to get back to it.

 Proof of life update even though I've updated a long time ago... Feels like it. I don't remember when I updated my blog... So, anyways, today I've gotten a new notebook and I looked through my notebooks to see what needs a notebook for world building and it's Owen's turn. You may not know Owen but Owen is an owl. He is a rainbow owl and he's real. How is he real? He's actually my neon rainbow owl that I decided to turn into a story and decided to make cozy adventures about him. That's is the gist of Owen. So with this notebook, I decided I'm working on world building his stories and update RoyalRoad. Click on this if you want to read the first story. It will open up a new window for you to read about Owen. Anyways, so Owen's story is on RoyalRoad and I feel like he deserves to have some world building and some core things even though some of the stories are chapter to chapter with no over arching story. I just wanted my readers to have somethin...

No Titles, Just Update

-
 I'm just posting to make sure people know I live.  My surgery is on the 1st of April. Kind of funny. I'm getting work done on my face (technically true). I don't want to talk about it but I'll be disappearing to deal with the aftermath. Just stick and message to my close buddies. That's all.  Meanwhile, trying to work on projects. Trying to work on some little stash so I can get my name out there and fund for a certification in the meantime. Just basically working on myself while I do this. Nothing major. I did, however, open up some new account on a different website to do some experimental things. Just something minor. Something fun. It's more so to put myself out there an it is about anything else.  Quotev is another writing website. It's nothing like Wattpad where you could possibly make bank on a story (if popular enough) through the website. Which makes it perfect to me because no incentive to be perfect.  I think I'm struggling with writing becau...

DnD Prep and Night

-
 It is DnD night and I'm already ready for bed. Expecting thunderstorms and hail. I already want this day to be over. Just because I'm tired and already hate fretting over possible power outages. It's a drag. I'm knocking on wood we get teeny tiny hail if we get any and the worse is heavy rain.  I am just working on DnD related things with that said. I've made a spread sheet and decided each google doc on my personal email to keep track of everything. It makes me feel like a nerd but I rather be a nerd than to come in blind.  So I am on campaign number 3. I'm playing an elf boy by the name of Bradley. I made him the brother of my other elf Rochelle so I can justify still having the spider named Blueberry on the team still and to have some of her inventory. Blueberry is just a giant blue spider.  I'm actually working on two books between Rochelle and Brad. Not really for anyone but for myself. I think it would be fun to have them have their own books just for...
