Week 4: Harness the Power of Friendship!
Few things help more in WorldEmber than a group of worldbuilder friends cheering you on and exchanging ideas with you! Use this last week of prep to find some friends you can lean on during the upcoming month.
1. Find a community
The internet is full of creative communities for worldbuilders, writers, and Game Masters! If you prefer real-life friendships, a friend will work too. Whatever the case, let people know what your goal for WorldEmber is! You can even share your WorldEmber work with them during December—for some people, having other people read their work is really motivating.
If you want to join an online community but can't find one,
join our Discord server! Or, if you prefer, check out our
Facebook group and
Reddit community too! Use the #WEPrep hashtag on social media to join the conversation there.
2. Plan your writing schedule
Be it school, work, or family, most people have busy schedules! So look at your calendar and think about when you'll have time to write. Then, make sure those hours are sacred!
If you have family obligations, try to deal with them in advance and tell everyone at home to not bother you during your writing time. If you go to school or have a job, make good use of your free days or breaks. Planning in advance means that, as soon as you get to your writing times, nothing else will get in your way!
3. Get some fresh air!
It's been a month of hard work to prepare your world (and yourself!) for December... but the next month is the real challenge! Just like you would rest the night before a marathon, take some days to breathe and rest before WorldEmber. Go out for a walk, meet up with friends, and relax so your brain is ready for December.
