I wanted to add this here for folks who maybe don't want to use Tumblr, but I am trying to get back into updating the Mortal World's World Anvil. It is slow progress, I am not much of a detailed notetaker, but I want to answer all of your questions!

With that said, there are now discussion boards on the Mortal World's WA! Feel free to use it for asks, or just to poke me about an article you feel like should be added (I will miss a few), or to ask me questions about WW or DC or whatever y'all are interested in. I know things will slip past me to add to to-do lists, so if there's something you have a burning question about, just ask! I don't bite.

Also, if there are more discussion boards you want to see added, feel free to let me know. I thought of these two kinda generic ones as a good start, but if there's something else you want to see, let me know! I can't promise content that supports like, fancanon on here just yet, just because I want to get the series drafted and have it very clearly written first, and until I have someone else to moderate that kind of content, it feels like not the best idea to have that kind of content on the wiki.

But yeah, thanks for all the asks here. I will still be answering here, but I am in the process of getting all the answers here over there as well. So I can do both! Looking forward to chatting with y'all more as the books get into the later half of drafts.

And so book 15 begins.

Wild that a few weeks ago, I hadn’t touched WW in months and now I’m on to book 15. Still, book 15! That’s a lot and trying to give myself more credit on my drafting process considering I only started writing WW in 2017.

Second dose down! And y’all know what that means?! Back into quarantine to do my part from preventing further spread and mutation of the virus so this vaccine stays effective.

And for those of y’all who haven’t gotten their vaccines yet, GO DO IT! Y’all got no excuses, this is about protecting other people. Get over yourself. Do your part. #getvaccienated https://www.instagram.com/p/CObsKjhDS9T/?igshid=1wtymrouasodz

First dose down.

And y’all. I struggle with trypanophobia. I’ve attempted to bolt on techs before when getting shots and blood drawn. But here’s the thing: The safety of people is more important than my fear.

Don’t make excuses. Toughen up. #Getvaccinated https://www.instagram.com/p/CNlgULyji6K/?igshid=hx38zgnm9dzv

I am absolutely thrilled to share the official character artwork for Word Walkers! @ruth-westside is an absolutely delight to work with and look at the amazing work she did for the book 1 cast! Oh, I’m in love.

I am absolutely thrilled to finally be able to share the official art for #wordwalkersseries! Here we have Kil’thian, Kan’sa, Diana, Frederick, Emelie, and Claire from book 1, done by the amazing @ruthwestside!

Ruth is an absolute delight to work with and I’m so thrilled she was willing to work with me for my cast. She’s here on Insta but you can see much more of her work on her Tumblr of the same handle.

Reblog if it's okay for people to come into your askbox and ask about your OCs

Even if I’ve never spoken to them, even if I don’t know them from a hole in the wall, even if they’re on anon, people asking questions about my OCs make my day.

[wordwalkers]

do hantheer pets also get second part ' names? if hantheer even have pets. do all harts get the 'thian ending or do harts have many ending optons

Heh, to be honest I haven’t thought of the endings for pets much but yes, they would have endings as well, not just ‘thian. I imagine names for pets and harts would have to do with their personality and/or parts of nature from some old Hantheer language that I have not yet created. We’ll say ‘thian means something like noble, with works for Killy and Veri’thian pretty well.

But Hantheer do have pets. Mostly they have really big dogs like what we’d call German Shepherds, sled dog breeds, and St. Bernards (although I love the image of a 8 ft tall Hantheer with a chihuahua), partially because they have herds that need bigger dogs and partially because mountains/steppe climate, so big floofs do well. While I imagine there are cats in Fahla’surni from previous World Walkers bringing them over, it’s not as common because house cats aren’t entirely practical and when you have limited livestock to import, you pick the ones that will be most helpful. If there are, they’re those super floof ones from Scandinavia, I can’t remember the name, because again, it can get kinda cold.

[wordwalkers]

are there angels? also the theme is breaking with random characters

No, there are no angels or celestial beings of any kind. Hantheer are favored but they aren’t holier than any other race.

And that is no good! I will take a look.

have you ever read InCase's Alfie webcomic? Diana and Alfie are alot alike and so in Kansa and Ozge

I have not, but I’ll give it a read.

Giveaway prize for @echosounder07‘s adorable fawn OC Kan’sa~ I really loved drawing her

[amelias-hart]

AH! She’s so beautiful! Thank you so much!

[wordwalkers]

Dug through Tumblr for a while to find this gorgeous piece of Kan’sa from forever ago cause I needed a pick me up. I was so lucky to win this piece in a giveaway and I still can’t thank @mo3lefay enough for being the first to bring Kan’sa to life visually. I can’t say how much it’s helped with getting book 1’s final edits done before release and how influential it’s been since for her design moving forward.

When Covid is over, I’d like to actually pay for a commission because mo3lefay’s work is absolutely stunning.

[wordwalkers]

do you have playlists for the books or characters?

I’m personally really terrible at making playlists, so I do not, but some talented friends of mine have.

@zojj-a made one for book 1 which I had on repeat during edits. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2uudntIPj56xEg3emuDDSw?si=oeZkExiDSKieKdLA3No-sA

[wordwalkers]

played braisa? is stevenpartridgequill switching characters or dropping out?

Oh, no, he’s still playing Brai’sa, just used past tense since the campaign’s not public anymore.

[wordwalkers]

3 or 4 BOOKS??????

I mean, my books are novellas, so we’re aiming for 30k here and they’re all pretty much outlined. I mean, that’s still a lot, but yes. 3 or 4 books from about August to December will get drafted and then spring comes and my ability to actually focus on writing WW kinda just fucks off for a bit.

Of course, I’d like to change that habit eventually, but I don’t think I’ll be able to pick up that pace until I can support myself on my writing.
