#JuneWorldbuilders 2

Sometimes higher powers become therapists. A lot of their guidance is based off real therapy I have received and contextualized for this moment. It also connects to the overall theme of mental health I want to share with young readers :)

Day 1 of #JuneWorldbuilders
Most practice animism with Great Beings leading. There are 3 main sects. Followers of stars and the GB of Destiny. Followers of their own intuition embodied by the GB of Slumber. Notoriously is the nihilism, guided by the GB of Abyss. See art below 🙂‍↕️

Day 16: Approaching the end of act 2 of 3. I have about 150 pages left to go
May 29, 2025 at 2:57 AM
Day 11: Wanted to finish this arc so not too much done.

Im out of town this weekend and won’t have wifi so the next update will be a couple days worth of edits.

Can’t wait to edit this horrific set of chapters in the woods

Day 10: Only did one chapter. Chronic pain won today. Managed to do some light unpacking and go through old art.

These 2 are very relevant in an upcoming manuscript 🙂‍↕️

Day 9: Not a lot of writing today as the content needed a very intentional look over. Then I ended the day with some art.

Day 8: No writing today due to carpal tunnel. I did, however, begin conceptualizing chapter headers! I want to pay homage to Final Fantasy as I always listen to the games’ soundtracks to gain ideas. I like using canva’s elements to play with ideas, but will be hand drawing everything myself

Day 7! 150 pages in the first week of edits! Some if my favorite chapters await for tomorrow. Little dragon causing big problems 😮‍💨

Day 5: Finished editing act 1 today and crossed 100 pages. I’m on docs right now which I think is inaccurate to actual formatting. But on docs the book is 472 pages total, so regardless I’m a fourth of the way through already. Hoping to be done by June. It’ll be close!

Day 3! Some of the most intensive world building changes have been finished so although it was 2 chapters, the hard work is done
May 15, 2025 at 3:18 AM
Day 2. I had a lot of free lance work to catch up on but tomorrow is another day :}
May 14, 2025 at 4:05 AM
Trying to do final edits for my 160k+ word novel this month. Started page 1 today and got 22 pages in.

It was mostly grammar edits but tomorrow it will be some heavy redlining.

One of my first pieces of digital art to most recent. I can’t believe how much yet how little this story has changed from the 10 years apart they were drawn.

The word “shadows” appeared almost 200 times in the manuscript, but I believe this little snippet encapsulates the feelings of belonging that is persistent throughout the novel.

I use dream sequences sparingly in Lost Crimson, but when I do, I am inspired by my family’s stories of how dreams become a time of supernatural visitations. Here in this scene, Arin laments about her future after receiving devastating news.

My name is Rowan and I write across the SFF genre! I mostly write drak, yet comforting, fantasy but have begun embarking in SCIFI.

It’s my motivation as a creator to inspire my audience to tell their own stories and have their own adventures :}

It’s my birthday! To celebrate, I am happy to announce a special edition for one of my favorite projects. #writer #booksky

“You deserve to feel peace.”

Scene from my MG fantasy novel. Reflecting on current events where the future is uncertain. And if you feel the same, I want you to know: you deserve to exist. Now and always.
