Skill and output. I severely burnt myself out a few years ago, but I want to get back to relatively consistent output.
I also want to improve my prose. I say this every time and it'll probably be my answer the next several times I'm asked. I'm never happy with my prose, lol
January 30th: What's the next evolution you would like to see for yourself as a writer? (in terms of skill, output, input, etc - maybe focus on things you can control and not pipedreams)

I promised to talk about my cruelty-free silk today, so now I'm going to talk about MOONBEAM MOTHS. So, most of their caterpillar life is the same as irl silk moths, with the exception that they are Wind elemental creatures and evolved to only eat when there's sufficient wind around.
The tough, the squishy, just don't tell them that they're spineless, it's invertebrates day! They're (usually) smol but they work real hard in their colonies, weaving webs, etc., so what sorts do you have?

For now, here's #FebruaryWorldbuilders! This marks the second birthday of the Monthly Worldbuilders prompts, started on Twitter, but getting traction here now. Enjoy!

How prepared is your character?
Do they plan for every contingency and occasion? The type to have duct tape, Advil, and a sewing needle in their bag?
Or do they pack light and figure things out on the fly?

Steffa sometimes needs to use a wheelchair after she uses her magic. She has a condition where, if she uses magic too much, her blood 'attacks' the muscles in her legs and makes walking painful, if not downright impossible.

I'm Erika/Kira, and as an anime-watcher, lemme tell ya: anime is having a golden age. Last year had some PEAK fucking series. Just from summer alone, we had Takopi's Original Sin, Clevatess, and The Summer Hikaru Died.
Hi, everyone! Pretty exhausted today, so apologies if I'm not super quick on the draw tonight.

Tynan has an iffy relationship to start with, given they have no feelings toward anyone and their parents can literally force them to do anything.
After bonding and learning how to love, Tynan develops a great relationship with everyone. But, there are complications everywhere.
How is your character's relationship with their family?
Do they have biological and/or found family? Are they close or were they?
Can they count on family for support, or was family a source of conflict?

Hatching-days are celebrated in the PD, almost everywhere. It's seen as a day to celebrate oneself. It's not about 'aging up.' Like, the whole thing some people say "who cares, I'm a year older" isn't the point. It's about celebrating *you*
If birthdays celebrated by your characters, do they have special traditions for the occasion?

It's the weird stuff about Tynan that makes them fun. When they transform into a bug or a machine or something ferocious that defies easy description, or like that time when they removed their eyeballs.
Technical question!
What is your favorite feature to describe about your character?
Hair, eyes, facial expression, hands, posture? Other?
Does it help visualize? Tell us about their emotions? Something else?
