Here’s a selection of story ideas based on classic trope-type themes from a variety of more specific Echo World settings to choose from so as we can continue on with planning the next stages!
Looking forward to seeing what we continue on with!

2023-08-29 14:43:05 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone! Nai here and I’m back with part two of the Collaborative Planning Project series.
In this video, we’re talking about settings and stories and how they interact. And our setting, which you all voted on in the last poll was…(drumroll please)…The Echo World!
So, sticking with the Wayhaven themes ...
2023-08-29 14:35:54 +0000 UTC View PostSo this week I did a bit more fleshing out to the scenes I wanted to go back to before the next step.
One particular scene was good fun! I got to build out an…interesting conversation between a certain character and the villain (I’m calling them full villain now rather than antagonist because, well, they are pretty ...

2023-08-21 12:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostMy wrists were having a bit of a protest to all my typing lately (really need to get my ergonomic keyboard back out!), so I spent some time reading over what I’ve typed up so far.
It was actually a really good thing to do, as I noticed there was quite a large narrative element missing: the transition for the MC ...

“You’re going to have to let me in there at some point, Becca,” Rook comments through an annoyingly charming grin. “I’m not gonna bite…though I suppose I should be more worried about them biting me.” His grin widens as he chortles at his own rid...

2023-08-14 12:59:02 +0000 UTC View PostIt was all about balance this week!
I was getting stuck on a section of the story that really needed fleshing out in a way to balance the intensity of things that have come before.
Book Four is really full of awesomely cool set-piece type scenes! Yet I also like to make sure that I give more quiet, domestic-...

It's another one from the World of Wayhaven series, and it's a location from Book Three this time.

I stumbled across a folder full of Wayhaven ideas I’ve been gathering over the years! :D Was seriously interesting and fun to go through scenes and ideas I’d totally forgotten about!

Oh, it was a good one this week! It had a little dip but really picked up later!
The dip was just me feeling a majorly overwhelmed at one point. There’s SO much I want to do in the world of Wayhaven, as well as Book Four (Curse of Creek Edge, Book One and Two spruce-up, plenty of other ideas…). But time see...

I know a lot of people requested a "wardrobe" series based off of the MC apartment moodboards I did, so here is Number 1. In this series, I will be exploring the different wardrobe vibes of my MC (Main Character) in The Wayhaven Chronicles.
This is their "Casual" wardrobe style.
