Another free update!
Hi there. A lot has been going on but I don’t like leaving a lot of radio silence for you all! I want to make sure I say something and let you all know what’s going on. Those of you who are subscribed have even more goodies, so please be sure to check it out, but here are some details for everyone…
WAWA!
The WorldAnvil Worldbuilding Awards shortlists have been announced, and I (very surprisingly) made the cut twice! The first article chosen was The Styrax for the Heart and Minds Award. This one can be voted on by you! The second was Pumilla Academia for the Best Worldbuilding Article Award. This one will be judged by award-winning author C.L. Clark.
To vote, or just check out both articles (along with the rest of the things I submitted), feel free to click visit this link: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/secret-agent-someone/a/WAWA-6
THE DEADLINE TO VOTE IS THIS WEEKEND! (April 5) So be sure to check everything out and put in a good bid for any amazing beans you see.
Long Story Short
Yes Long Story Short is an Open Call for Kickstarter that was supposed to be hosted in March. And yes, it is now April. But on the last night of last month, I finally launched my Short Film Kickstarter campaign! Thankfully, it is still considered part of the Open Call even when running through April. It only needed to launch in March, so I have done it! It is finally live with a voiced, animated preview and everything! The preview is not fully complete, however. I only managed to make the first part, but I plan on creating and posting the rest soon! Do check it out at the link below. All support is appreciated. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wordigirl/secret-agent-someone-a-short-film
Creating Creativity: The Soul of the StoryTeller
I am supposed to be the Master of Ceremony at a virtual, dragon-themed seminar coming up on May 15th and 16th, 2026! Early bird tickets are now available. Alongside me will be so many talented and award-winning authors, writers, and speakers who are here to help you to unlock your full potential as a creative. There will be adventures and fun at every corner. If you would like to join, please purchase tickets at the link. Also, spread the word! If you know any author friends who might find something like this helpful, please don’t hesitate to share. https://mindpotential.org/
Twitch Streams
It’s Spring Camp! Which means it’s also so many other things. So I should be live for co-working sessions throughout the month. Right now, the plan is to go live at 12pm ET weekdaily. I also have some special planned weekend streams (like Sunday, April 12 for OHHOW and Saturday, April 18 for the Worldbuilding Award ceremony), plus a couple of surprise streams up my sleeve, so be sure to follow https://www.twitch.tv/wordigirl to be notified whenever I go live!
Discord Server
I have gotten a lot of the boosts back in my server which unlocked a lot more benefits for everyone like we used to have. It still isn’t maxed out, but there is lots of fun afoot, including Spring Camp! Feel free to join anytime. We have daily activities, interaction, support, and plenty of random shenanigans! Anyone is free to join anytime, so you can invite everyone you’d like! https://discord.gg/Cbf3NXq
Perk Catch-Up
If you are reading this update, it means that almost all of the perks catching up from the beginning of the year should already have been published! And if the one you are looking for has not yet, it shall be up by the end of the week! Thank you for your patience and I apologize again for the delay. I really wanted this year to start off better than last, but things just tumultuously tumbled into a furious avalanche of hectic everything a bit ago, and the falling rocks just don’t seem to stop. But if they don’t stop, neither should I. I just have to pivot from waiting for the rocks to pass before I cross to learning how to more efficiently bob and weave through the rocks.
I am used to multitasking. I am used to trying to keep praying and keep going. But things seem like they are getting rougher and rougher, which can be discouraging. But I cannot allow it to get the best of me. I thank you all for your continued support and for being there. If you need help finding the perks on any given platform, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I would be more than happy to direct you to the goodies! I owe you all so much.
God bless and much love to each and every one of you. Whether you are a paid supporter or a free follower, your presence and attention is truly an honor. Feel free to reach out anytime if you ever want or need anything, even just a chat.
