Summer Camp is here and I’m going FERAL with excitement!

  The energy, the creativity, the wild brainstorming sessions, it’s all happening again, and I couldn’t be happier to dive in. After a whirlwind year of firsts - Spooktober, WorldEmber, and WAWA - I'm thrilled to cap it off with my first ever Summer Camp. To keep things neat and organized (finally!), I’m going in with a brand new meta world:     This is my creative forge, a realm where raw ideas shift, and evolve before they find a permanent home in one of my other settings. Imaginarium isn’t bound by genre or logic. It's a sandbox, a sketchbook and a dream journal. You are welcome to join, if you want <3 Of course, to prepare for Summer Camp, I' worked in my homework, which found its place in Imaginarium :)

You can always count on the ADHD-brained worldbuilder to save things for the last day! Finally, I present my completed homework, and I'm sharing it with some things I'm deeply thankful for this year.

Thank you, friends!

I'm so thankful for...

• the cheems, who inspire and encourage me every day with their excellence
• my fellow Tomies, who continue to bring fantastical visions to life all the time
• my community, who tunes in to hang out with me as I build my world on stream
• my partner, who listens to my ideas, even when they don't make sense (yet)
• myself, for taking steps to take care of myself at the tail end of a very difficult year
• WorldAnvil, the team and community alike, for making this platform my virtual home and a safe space to explore my creativity

Not long now, before the writing frenzy begins. I just wanted to tell all of you, "thank you for being a part of my journey so far. Let's keep adventuring together for a while." ❤

I'm so excited for WorldEmber this year because I get to explore my new bright fantasy world! :D
  After a 5 year break, I'm back into colourful pixel art and am brushing up on my skills with a warm up - a pixel pledge!
  Here's part 1 of my prep homework complete:
  And to get some ideas growing in the background, I'm taking part in Wordigirl's Unoffficial Mapvember, too :D

WorldEmber is almost heeeere!! I can feel it! November marks the start of the official WorldEmber Prep Month in World Anvil and I'm much too excited to wait until Friday for our homework this year.
  Thankfully many of my friends are feeling the same too, which sparked Stormbril to come up with an early homework idea!
 

Go back through your previous events (WorldEmber or otherwise!) and pick out the articles you were most happy to create or most happy with in the end, and try to figure out why! Is it just because of the end result, or is it because of how it ties into the rest of your world? Make a list of them and share them with your followers or via a journal post, and then think about how you might recapture that feeling this year :D

Reflecting on previous events

WorldEmber has often been the event in which I create my best work and favourite worldbuilding concepts :D

Gauntlet: this full blown card game was so much fun and I think my enthusiasm really shines through in this article with the extra details to the presentation of it

Corvidans: I'm particularly fond of this article for the time I spent illustrating this species

Rréraliázi: I really enjoyed nerding out on numbers in this language article and making a bizarre counting gif was super fun!

The Common Calendar: I'm also really proud of this calendar because of the effort I put into its design

  Reflecting back on these in comparison to other articles I created during previous events, the ones that I put more love into were the ones I enjoyed the most (and that other people enjoyed, too)!
 

Plans for this year

If you had sussed out the secret message from my previous update or have spotted a sneaky addition to my user signature - I have created a new world!!
  I am delighted to announce my latest worldbuilding project:
Journals of Yesteryear
  JOY is an optimistic leaning, neutral-bright fantasy world with derpy magical creatures, floaty islands, mouth-watering food, and adventure-filled vistas full of overgrown ruins - all presented in the format of journal pages with a quirky combination of loose sketches and colourful pixel art.
  I'm just setting things up at the moment, but you're welcome to come and take a look! I'll be sharing my proper WorldEmber homework there shortly, and you can take a sneak peek at my Spooktober stubs that I snuck in last minute! :D

Are you getting super excited for the WorldEmber prep month to begin? Can't wait to tear into some homework? Well, here's a tiny little unofficial bit of homework you can play with to hold you over till Friday:
 
  Haven't done any WorldAnvil events before? Not to worry! Look at other things you've written that you're most happy with, and then try to apply the same thought process to them!
 
  You can even add the following hashtags so everyone can see the homework all together!
