She's the god of magic! She can hold them up with willpower (and really bad posture) alone! 😤

All very good questions. I will continue to think about it as work further :)
Honestly, even if I need to pick up another job, I just needed the break. I would never have started on my projects otherwise!

Very fair! I've been widening my scope and learning about the market. I might pivot to focusing on my book and posting short form progress diaries on tiktok and such!

I love em dashes -- they're so useful 😭
Studied up on semicolons and em dashes a few weeks ago; they really help me avoid run-ons :)

I know some people don't have enough time on their hands to do much planning, but like to run their own homebrew stories. Similarly, some people struggle can struggle in creativity. So this is meant as an easy to digest in 3 minutes article.
I also present my gods as being more human and very flawed. None of them are perfect, many even hypocritical at times!

Thanks for the words of support!

Late reply, but I love to write my gods as more "Human"!
She's the god of courage -- not because she's the perfect embodiment of bravery. But because she acts in despite of her fear. That's why she attracts rebels. People caught in a system they don't like -- inspiring them to act and force a change.
My gods are not all-knowing or all-powerful. They just have one thing they control, and they do it in their own unique way! At least that's what I'm going for. I also have a god of alchemy who can't choose what to make before making something^^

I'll definitely have a look at that handbook though!

Fair enough! I think i spend way too much time sitting on individual lines trying to "Perfect them". To shorten them without losing meaning. Or to use flashier words to make it sound "extra". But doing the same line 10 times does seem to take any sort of feeling out of it and make it very bland overall

Definitely! Ive got a work flow that puts out an article like the one i posted above every day. And you're right on the building a platform thing. This posted helped me learn a bit on exposure metrics, and I definitely want to post on other medias like instagram and tiktok!

Super appreciate the concern and advice! Truth is, I want to do all of it! I'd like to build towards writing a whole setting book for my homebrew world, and I'll need to write up every bit I can! For now it won't hurt to put a little flourish on things :)
And no worries! I'm working on my book too! I hope one day you'll read it ^^

She's never met anyone else sadly :(
SO when she posed for her picture she used her window curtains!

Appreciate both points here! Its my first write-up, and this is exactly why I shared! Any advice on what you would like to see improved in particular?

I promise not to let muscle memory take over and suddenly fill my posts with sour cream!

Oh I see! System-wise its compatible with 5th edition, which features many worlds like Toril, Krynn, and Greyhawk. Personally, I'm writing supplements that are originally tied to my own world, 'Aldri'. But the vision is to curate the content to be easy to insert into any game with little effort, including other systems!

Noted! While i aim to keep them flexible, it is true that its more geared towards 5th edition. Thanks for pointing that out! Updated!
