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.

Ooo I like this! Rhea, a major foodie, is there for the snacks. Cali (Rhea's older sister) is here for the rides. Nell (Rhea's closest friend) is shopping for trinkets. Sable (Rhea's mentor) is just trying to survive the heat!

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

I really like my main character, Rhea. But the older sister in me comes out through Rhea’s older sister, Calliope (Calli) - and so she has absolutely claimed my “favorite” spot.

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

Monday #WritingQ to cheer me up! Genre-savvy! How genre-savvy are your characters? Do they know what's up? What genre do they THINK they are in vs the genre you've written them into?

Interesting question! My genre is high fantasy, but my main character probably thinks she’s in something academia-centered. I don’t think she knows she’s in high fantasy because that’s just the world she lives in! She knows nothing about the adventure genre … but she’s about to!

Welcome welcome (back)!! Summer has been awesome so far! I’m way ahead of my reading goal and possibly going to set an all-time high for books read this year. My writing goals are less defined as I’m giving myself some room to breathe. But I love the progress I’m making in my world!

I just learned that my new book, the revised and expanded version of *The Witch's Name*, is available for pre-order over at Crossed Crow Books, but I also learned that in addition to the paperback they are also releasing a HARDCOVER edition! (And what do you all think of that snazzy new cover?)

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.
