It’s September and I finished a draft of Rise of Villainy book 2, so, here is an update all of my #WIPs to reflect where things stand for things I #amwriting and #amrevising! (This is a slight improvement in my updating timeline) #WritingCommunity 🧵(1/?)

13: In Karnassia (co-created with @jmaxwell-author.bsky.social), several cultures have more elaborated family symbology, and this is particularly true for the nobility of the Vizrani Empire. The Emperors (and various Princes, Duque/Duquesas, Conde/Condesas, Visconde...

Heya, #DecemberWorldbuilders! Does your world have any relevant family symbology? For example, crests, heraldry, flags, etc.? Or are surnames important to them? Do they take their surname from their father or do they have a different method? Do they believe in leaving a lasting legacy?

#DecemberWorldbuilders, tell me about inheritance in your world. How does it work? When a person passes away, who gets their stuff? Do bastard children have a claim? Do they even have a concept of bastard children? For those of you writing monarchies, who inherits the throne?

Good mornevening, #DecemberWorldbuilders! Tell me about your villain's relationship with their family. If you don't have a villain, pick another character who is either antagonistic or maybe just a foil for the MC. Does their villainy get in the way of having a family?

#DecemberWorldbuilders, our next questions about families asks about your characters specifically. Today's is for the MC, but you can pick any character. Be aware tomorrow's will ask about a villain, so choose who you want to answer for wisely! What is your MC's relationship with their family like?

Good day, #DecemberWorldbuilders! How are reproductive rights and laws handled in your world? Remember, the ancient Romans had silphium which would prevent pregnancy. This is not too high-tech of a concept for 'low-tech' worlds (though perhaps not something that comes up).

Howdy, #DecemberWorldbuilders! What are some symbiotic or parasitic relationships that occur in nature in your world?

#DecemberWorldbuilders! What is the "level" of technology in your fictional world? Is it a low-tech fantasy? A high-tech sci-fi? Or something in-between? Maybe something outside the tech progression of human history. Did they invent anything ahead of us in time? Any inventions suspiciously absent?

And now we gotta talk about the origins of life.
Long ago, a host of spirits fled to a silent corner of the cosmos. The majority incarnated into material life, and continues to do so in an unbroken chain. But used to look way different from now. Why's that? Lemme explain:
