Three Dollar Quill

All right, let's see what I have to say...

I've got a variety of attempts at worldbuilding under my belt, some of which I'm kind of torn between "I'd like to revisit this" and "I have Problems with the stuff I decided to position as Definitely Canon".

But aside from those, I've managed to accumulate four ideas that I've decided to try to develop in parallel, using a justification that kind of sounds like crop rotation for thoughts, if you squint:

• The backstory of a novel; this mostly focuses on transposing historical trends and ideas into a fantastical setting, for the purpose of really straightforward commentary
• A series of extremely short stories in a setting that I'm deliberately leaving vague outside of what I can extrapolate from the text of the stories
• A speculative evolution project based on fantastical principles
• "This tabletop RPG has guidance for worldbuilding the setting, and I'm just going to read it, I'm not going to—okay, let's go"

The basic idea is that each of these hopefully scratch a different kind of itch. We'll see how that works out... For now, I really need to get to bed.

Good night.
