Day 22) Last week was a slow week (2.7k words). My mental health has been struggling but I saw the doctor over the weekend and, based on my hormone balance (which is bad), he's astonished I'm functional at all.

Day 15) Last week was another 3.4k words toward my Space Quest WiP. Im at around 7.1k words for November, which is lower than I wanted but isn't bad given how my mental health has been recently.
But new week new me.

Day 8) Last week I netted about 3.7k words. Which is a little lower than where I wanted it but this time of year can be a little rough for my mental health and I some IRL tasks that needed to be done.

In 2025, choose physical media🎥📀🎮

In frustrating news, the cage for my girls has broken. The support bar has sheered through and is now being held together with zip ties.
Also, my apartment is going ‘high tech’ with their apartments and are going to be using digital locks for their doors (no more physical keys).
Imo, it’s needless.

Anduin budge trying his best to help me while I’m feeling sick. He’s such a good boy who has never committed any crimes.

I had a dream last night where I made spaghetti and ate it.
Today I made that a reality.

6) Survival
Most desert cities survive because of their carefully balanced above ground and below ground communities. The surface acts as a beacon for travelers and traders while the underground is dedicated to sustainable growing practices.

Ope, swapped these two.
5) desert plants and animals
Deserts are home to a few unique plants and animals.
For plants, there are steel needle cactus, earth vine, and dust ferns.
As for animals, some examples are the sand wurms, stone horns, and Sickle fang jackal.

4) Desert legends.
Its been said the reason the dwarven kingdoms collapsed was because of their irreverence toward the Trinity. Pre-cataclysm relics show that the dwarves had a tradition of exalting two deities great Stone Mother and Forge Father over the trinity.

6) Bonus: Least favorite
My least favorite is definitely the research. While, yes I do get to read and learn something, I always stumble into the hard part of having to remember that information and figure out how best to use it.

6) Process
Of the three major steps in writing, I find Writing the most fun, and editing to be the most rewarding.

5) Friends
Of my characters, I would want to be friends with Ayumi. She's quiet, intelligent, and shares many of the same hobbies I have (just another example of myself bleeding into my characters).
Plus she's fashionable.

4) Writing space
Since I miss read Friday's prompt here's the make up.
My writing space is a little bit cluttered (I make it work).
I often keep a book near me if i need a mental break from my current wip.

Thirsty sword lesbians is quite delightful and now I’ve got its expansion.

3) Desert Towns
The above sections of these oasis towns are often light color buildings.
Buildings on the outskirts of these settlements will often have large polls topped with colorful flags to help guide travelers toward saftey

3) Characters.
Out of all of my character's I'd probably want to be Willow (Spirit Speaker). She's strong, confident, playful, and determined.
Plus, with how I envision her, she's the tall bunny woman I aspire to be one day.

2) Desert Society
Most desert societies (specifically in Wraith) consist of two parts. The above ground settles ments and the sprawling subterranean cities beneath them.

2) Books
One book I keep thinking about is A Dance of Cloaks (David Dalglish). I've been wanting to reread the series, but I loaned out the first book and never got it back. Maybe I'll rebuy it if I can find the right cover.

1) Deserts
On Sylvius, the largest desert is the Wraith Lands.
Wraith is the ancestral home of the dwarves. Legend has it, before the cataclysm, 'Wraith' was a beautiful county full of lush forests, towering mountains, and lakes.

1) Oct Goal
Hello all and welcome to October!
We're in the final quarter of 2025 and this months goal is to finish my current first draft (I'm about 15k words away from my goal so its very achievable). Once I'm done with that its full speed ahead on TFB edits.

30) World building
Personally, I like to see world building worked naturally into a piece of fiction. I've read far too many books (mostly light novels) that have too much text dedicated to blunt and uninspired world building.
