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.”

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 🍂🧡

Nothing beats having an overwhelming hyper-fixated creative vibe suddenly possessing your entire being, and knowing the next month or two of creativity is about to go absolutely wild

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?

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!

Doing some #character work today and created a moodboard for the MC of my book, UNDER SHATTERED SKIES.

This is Rhea! Spending some time with her character development and arcs today and already having a blast!

Spending some time writing before I hop back into my beloved Minecraft world ✍️🤍⛏️

#WritingCommunity, what's your favorite part of the world you've created? It can be history, a physical space, mythology, food - anything!

Last night's idea involved a magic tower, a stand-up comic, and something about a ghost road? #writingcommunity

Today is a mix between writing and Minecraft - whatever keeps me on the couch while I’m feeling like this!

#WritingCommunity any video games you all like to play?

And it looks like I’m out for the next few days… COVID found its way to me. Time to rest and recover, and today … mostly sleep.

Hope you guys are having a better day than me!

Tiring day today! Hopefully some writing can help recharge me - I’ve been on pause for the last week for this vacation! Time to come back!

Good morning #WritingCommunity! What’s everyone reading today?

I started on The Cautious Traveller’s Guide to the Wastelands by Sarah Brooks this weekend, and boy am I sucked right in!

Take what you need:
- write the story you'd like to read
- write the story that helps you sleep
- write the story that keeps you up
- write the story they ordered you not to tell
- write the story you can never forget

One of the best things about world-building is there's always something that needs developing. One of the worst things about world-building is there's always something that needs developing.

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

If you ever find this place taking a toll on your mental, just log off bro. Seriously, just chill, step away. No need to take it out on others or worsen your own state of mind. Shit sucks right now. Our brains aren't meant to be barraged like this. We'll be here when you get back. You're all good.

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?

Grad classes start TODAY and I’m so looking forward to them! I spent the weekend cramming a skill bridge course to prepare and I’m feel both ready and tired … knowing I’ll sleep well tonight 🤩

Happy Monday everyone! What do you have going on today?
