#JulyWorldbuilders 31: what are you researching currently for your worldbuilding?

Not actively worldbuilding at the moment, so 🤷‍♀️ unless you count the town that "Son of Embers" takes place in, but it's already mostly built.

#JulyWorldbuilders 30: books/games/anime/movies/etc. that have inspired your worldbuilding

I think D&D really helped me develop Asloria the most. My fiancé and my bestie collaborated with me on so many things.

July #QueerPrompts 30: GIF/audio or description of how you choose character names

I use the fantasy name generator. 9.5 times out of 10, I will find a name I like, or I will find a name I can tweak and then use.

#JulyWorldbuilders 29: music that gets you in a mood to worldbuild

I tend to listen to some sort of ambience, depending on what I'm writing/building. Occasionally it can also be a video game soundtrack, like Persona 5.

July #QueerPrompts 29: afterlife in your story?

When someone dies, the god of death guides their soul through his realm to their destination. Usually they end up in another god's domain depending on how they lived their life.

#FantasyIndiesJuly 29: WIP fun fact

"Son of Embers" is the starting novelization of my IRL D&D campaign that started March 2019 and ended July 2023. Getting to go back & relive some of my favorite moments is amazing!

The Woodspire is home to a small clan of wood elves, including Aliana & Konryle. And Braelyn, for the 10 years she lives with them 😆

#FantasyIndiesJuly 28: difficulties in writing

Like I mentioned yesterday (or rather this morning... 😅), I have trouble with writing fight scenes sometimes. It's hard to find a balance between repetitive actions and such.

July #QueerPrompts 27: what kind of a parent would your character(s) be?

*laughs in spoilers for the whole series*

I guess I can say that some of them will turn out to be the opposite of what they wanted to be as a parent 😅

#FantasyIndiesJuly 27: do you tend to underwrite or overwrite?

I think I tend to overwrite most of the time, but when it comes to certain things (like fight scenes, for example), I can be an underwriter.
