Welcome to a new year full of world-building! Come make your goals for the first month of the year. (those of you returning from last month can go into the list below and edit your goals after adding them to the thread, or ask someone with the power to do so for you/simply put in your new goal in the thread)
This will be run much like the Music Accountability threads. Join the group by editing your name into the following list or asking someone to do it for you. Then post your world building goals for the month and keep us updated. Have fun!

Zee List:
Aubrey Hansen
Azlyn A. Mimetes
Jonathan Garner
Lady Kitra Mimetes
Leandra Mimetes
Lord Tarin
Lycanis Mimetes
Sir Inesdar Ternis


EDIT: As this group is new and just starting out, feel free to make suggestions on how we can run it to best serve world builders.

Participants & respective goalsHidden in neat little notes like this one. Please check the list below so you know who to poke and what you're poking them to do.

Leandra MimetesContinue work on the map of Rhoive.
Lycanis MimetesGet fantasy world page up on website.

I'm in! Aiming for 3 articles this month, new or old ones sufficiently revised.

I hope to start on my goal this week.

Awesome, guys.

I'm leaving my goal the same, since I didn't accomplish it last month...I need to try and revise a few articles (ones that would go well as the first pieces to make it to my blog) so I can post them.

I'll aim to write my Nohokai thread this month... I'd try for two, but January will be very busy and I'll probably have to redraw the picture as well... Behemoth shall just have to wait.

Thanks for starting this, Jeremiah.

I'm going to leave my goal as one article, and hopefully this time it will actually happen.

Sounds great everyone.

@Rose - You're welcome, it was no trouble. I hope you're able to meet your goal this time!

I need to figure out a goal..."continue work on my map of Rhoive" is so vague and unspecific. XD

I guess...get the map scanned, outline the continents digitally, and give at least one continent terrain features like mountains.

Sounds good!

I met my goal for this week.

That's great!

I haven't gotten anything done on mine yet...but I think I will this week. Has anyone else made progress on/completed any of their goals?

Good job, Jonathan!


Nope, not yet, but I hope to.

Thanks.

I met my goal again this week.

How is everyone else doing?

I haven't started for my month goal yet.

Don't panic. This happens all of the time.

Good job, Jonathan!

I think I've made progress...I revised a worldbuilding article in preparation for putting it on my blog.

Thank you, Jeremiah. Sounds good.

I haven't made any progress on my goal yet, since the attempt to scan it didn't work so well because the map was in pencil and it was too faint, but I'll have a good opportunity soon to ink over it and add in some terrain features. So, no progress yet but hopefully some soon.

I may not be making my goal this month. I did write one post for my SF, but not the one I intended. Writing has gotten easier in my brain lately than world building, so well it's that way, I'll do what I can. I'm sure I'll be back to my building soon enough. Perhaps even in the next week...

*isn't going to complain if Kitra is writing instead of world-building*

I met my goal last week and forgot to post about it.

Don't talk like that here. *remembers he's talking to his big sister*



Good job.

I'm...inching forward. I have a introductory blog post drafted, it'll hopefully go up in a post or two on my blog, and soon after that I can launch the page.

@Aubrey - How is your building going?
@Leandra - How is your mapping going?

Thanks, Jeremiah.

And why not, little brother? *crosses arms sternly* No cupcakes for you until you give me a good reason!

Ahh, who, me? I... haven't started yet?

Uh...um... Because we're in a worldbuilding accountability circle. *nodnod*

Aubwey get started.

But this is still a writing forum. *tongue*

I have to format a book this weekend, but once I complete the next stage of that I'm going to let it sit for a day before I come back and polish it off. So while that's resting I'll take a day or two and do my world-building goal.

World-building is foundational to writing. *raspberry when your back is turned*



Yay!

*glances over her shoulder and catches little brother in the middle of making a very weird face*

*attempts to brush past incident*
Um...so I'm hoping to get one of my posts up on my blog tomorrow. *has to get a few blog posts up before he launches the page*

*giggles*

*wants to see this page on little brother's blog*

I met my world building goal this week.

I got my second post up today! I may launch the page after one more...I'd better start figuring out how to customize it.



Well done.

Thank you, Jeremiah.

I don't think I am going to meet my goal...

I might even see about getting my subforum archived for a time. Everything is outdated, and the thought of updating it is... *whispers* stopping me from writing.

Rosie not stop...

I am actually working on updating my own threads...if you want, and think it'd help, maybe we could work together some time.

Hey everyone! I missed this at the beginning of January, so I am going to jump in here. To begin the process of world-building, I have created the following:

ViV (Pronounced with a short vowel) - The name of my story Planet
Etherelm - The name of my heavenly realm
Netherelm - The name of my hellish realm

My goal for the month of February is to complete the Geographic Landscape of ViV (i.e. The land masses and bodies of water) with a possible cartograph (map) drawn as well.

Yay, new people! Welcome, Lord Sandefur.

I sympathize, Rose, and putting your subforum on hiatus while you clean it up is not a bad idea. However, that is not license to stop working altogether. Try making a list of what needs done and budgeting it out into small, manageable steps.

Not to be a bad example or anything, but I'm not going to complete my goal this month. I have a very intensive formatting project that has sufficiently consumed my week. I did, however, have a "breakthrough" regarding the origins of my world, so I am working on it in a positive fashion.

I won't be getting mine either. But at least we're both working on them. And yes, you did have a breakthrough.

*Laughs* Alright, I'll try to still work on it.

That's the spirit, Mae! *offers cupcakes for the road*

Maybe little brother will have to prod big sister to work harder next month... and vice versa.

I got part of my goal done? I took a pen and inked over the continents. Didn't add the terrain features I'd planned to, though.

Yes.


Aw. Well, that's still a start, and there's this month. Hopefully you can get it this time.

I didn't get my goal done either, but I've made progress on updating my world-building stuff at least.

Here's the new thread! viewtopic.php?f=34&t=7519 (I got you added to the list, and put in your goal on the new thread, Lord Sandefur )

Locked. Please go post on the other thread, and if a mod could archive this after a few days, that would be great.
