Day 8, and I'm still at it! I'm honestly loving how these are turning out, and it's so fun to dig a little deeper into the finer details of the world I might not normally get to visit.

Day 5 of #worldbuildtober is Thread! Could I have gone more literal with this entry? For sure. But do I just love these furry little weirdos? Absolutely.

It's Day 3 of #worldbuildtober and that means Bloom! I'm such a huge fan of flowers and have so many cool types of flora scattered through this world it was hard to narrow it down to these!

Day 2 of #worldbuildtober is Threshold. There were a lot of things I considered for this one, but The Wilds are one of my favorite parts of this world, so I wanted to highlight them early on.

As always, if any #worldbuilder wants to join in, they're more than welcome!

Why am I like this? 😂

Mira Cross @mirasmonsters.bsky.social · Aug 4

So, needless to say, I've got a sprawling world with 13 distinct lands, each with their own biome, culture, method of governance, superstitions and beliefs, flora and fauna, etc., and I'm already planning out Phase 2 of the world cause I know all the plots for the books in Phase 1.

"How'd you come up with this world?"

I came up with this idea because I didn't want to get too bogged down with worldbuilding or too many moving parts, so I was just like "demons are simple, they're just demons" and even made myself a whole worksheet titled "Keep It Simple Stupid"...
