Timasomo 2026: Bookworm’s Journey Short Story
Hello! This is my Timasomo 2026 showcase post. It’s a fantasy short story that evolved out of playing the Creation Myths solo journaling RPG.
Bookworm’s Journey Short Story
You roll dice to get writing prompts as you go through the solo RPG doc. I stuck to my original rolls for all 12 sections, tweaking only one of them as it just didn’t fit at all with how the story was evolving. I use these solo RPGs as a fun writing tool, often exchanging the results with a friend who is also into similar games. This one was getting pretty detailed, so I chose to turn it into a short story.
I added some artwork drawn on my iPad with a software similar to Procreate and an Apple Pencil. If you read it, and would like to provide feedback, I’d appreciate it. Outside these solo RPGs I don’t write any fiction, so I’m curious how this attempt comes across. I personally have mixed feelings about the final product, but I did enjoy the process a lot. I tend to be my own worse critic, so I appreciate an unbiased candid opinion.
