iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I am rewriting the advice I gave on my Tumblr almost 10 years ago! I felt so passionate about these when I was younger, and I’m pumped to revisit them! This week, “Creating a Fantasy Culture: A Guide to Building Believable Worlds.” #WritingCommunity asundeenauthor.wixsite.com/home/post/cr...

Creating a Fantasy Culture: A Guide to Building Believable Worlds

Worldbuilding starts with culture — here’s how to design believable societies, from geography and politics to language and education.

GOSH, this summer has been exhausting. Between vacations, extra shifts at work, and starting graduate school, I feel like I've been driving myself INSANE! 😴 Things have, FINALLY, calmed down, and I have mental space for my creativity again. #WritingCommunity, what have you been up to recently?

I’ve been following my motivation recently due to an INSANE and EXHAUSTING summer, and really only writing when I feel like. A break for one’s brain is super important! I don’t feel back quite yet, but I know I’m on the way. Here’s to a relaxing and healing autumn 🍂🧡 #WritingCommunity #writesky

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 1777: Everything you experience informs your work. In summer, write about the heat; the vegetation; the scent of the sea. In winter, write about the cold; the darkening sky; the onset of snow. Use everything you feel: grief, anxiety, joy, love, pain. It's all good.

Writing an in-depth outline sure is fun - I'm having an awesome time with this one! Just finished up to Chapter 10, and mine is already 2.5k words... definitely be a record for me! Are you a plotter or a pantser? What's your outlining process like? #WritingCommunity #writesky #writing #author

This just in - on top of all the other things you can do in #Canva, it's great for creating blueprints! I'm creating my world's capital building right now, a place called the Oxborough Embassy. I'll definitely need to know how it's laid out, since my cast will be there OFTEN! #writesky

Feeling inspired to develop the educational side of my world recently - partly because my main character is a student, and partly because I am, too! #WritingCommunity, does your setting have anything to do with education or academics? If you have a fantasy world, what’s your setup? #writesky

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

The cover for Songs of Broken Bells by Lilly Lockwood. It features the four main characters arranged in a diamond formation, a stained glass design at the top with a sun on one side and shadows on the other, and a string of cracked bells on the sides.
Liadan is at the bottom, holding up a candle. She has orange skin, silver hair, black rams horns, and black markings on her arms. She's wearing a green cloak and a yellow dress. Vasil is to her left. He is also holding a candle. Vasil has brown skin with a bark-like texture with patches of paler skin and moss. His hair is brown and curly. He is wearing a green caftan with yellow filigree. Minno is on the right, also holding a candle. They have pale skin, blonde hair with braided sideburns, and round framed glasses. They are wearing a white shirt with part of their kilt (in a brown and blue tartan) draped over one shoulder. Aila is behind the other three characters with her wings wrapped around them.

I realized that odd feeling I had all of last month was the start of… *dramatic pause* burnout. I haven’t felt this since college, and EVERYTHING (writing, blogging, etc) came to a screeching halt. I’m prioritizing rest and recharging this week. #WritingCommunity how do you combat burnout?
