Day 7

Landmass formation! Except with the rules of this setting, it's mainly driven by magic creating and destroying matter, which then moves things around.

Day 9

Due to various circumstances, the landmasses that the protagonists can access have been reduced to literally just the mountains and (inactive) volcanoes.

Day 10

Filled in some details about my weirdly-shaped magic sun. I also gave the continent where my story will take place a name and started redesigning the society my characters live in.

Day 12

I briefly thought of some questions I needed to answer about the magic forces in the story, given the changes/ developments I did to the climate and physical system. Didn't achieve my mini goal to work on this for 23 minutes, but I did do *something*.

I'm definitely trying to lean towards 'soft fantasy' when I actually get to writing this, but in the planning stage it just looks like an incomplete/haphazard 'hard fantasy' before I do all the literary effects xD

So long as you're still doing something, it's totally fine. Small progress is still progress. :) Keep it up!

Day 13

Worked on the worldbuilding for 23 minutes today! I added one magic-related way that the inhabitants of this setting get water. I also wrote up a brief summary of what one of the continents looks like and jotted down an idea for a scene where the main character talks about her favourite theory on how this setting's sun works.

Day 15

Thought up the origins and magic workings of one big landmark/phenomenon, plus contemplated what the sky looks like at different times of day, i different locations (hey, my novella has a surprising number of moments where sky colour comes into focus).

Day 16

Didn't work on this today 'cause I was working on another project . . . Worldbuilding is hard.
