Over the next few hours, Randidly descended through the Hall of Stances slowly and methodically. He encountered images left by the predecessor to the Endless Heat Style in Hastam. The young girl just thrust her spear forward and the area in front of her seemed to boil and warp as the...
2018-11-07 05:38:59 +0000 UTC View PostSlept for 11 hours yesterday. Holy hell, do I feel strangely refreshed. It was a great weekend. LA has great food.
Mmmm, I'm making myself hungry just thinking about it.
This week will be me getting into the swing of two a day.

2018-11-07 05:35:04 +0000 UTC View PostPosting this now because I am in airport hell and I'm unsure when my next post will be. Tuesday at the latest, but I'll try to get something out then as well.
After saying her piece, Helen left. To his surprise, Randidly felt a strange warmth in his heart. It was c...

Randidly’s attention on the sky was torn as he received a message from Trentyon.
Wow. Wow. Wow. Come to the scroll room.
With a small smile, Randidly shook his head. Trentyon had been… conspicuously difficult to talk to. Randidly had initially hoped his acces...

Naffur did make an appearance at Mareen’s rescheduled birthday, but it was just a brief one. After he dropped off his gift box, he immediately made an excuse and vanished.
The rest of the night Naffur wandered the streets of the Orchard, listless. People were still abuzz with...

As if an inaudible accord had been reached, the rest of the leaders of Orders stood. Naffur turned and began sprinting out of their courtyard. But very quickly, panic rose in his chest as he realized he wasn’t sure where Mareen’s party would be. Fumbling, he produced the invitati...
2018-11-04 01:17:42 +0000 UTC View PostI'll start by saying that this isn't a post that I'm not sticking to my November schedule. I have three chapters written, and I believe I owe you four. Idk if I'll get the fourth today, but I'll make it up.
The goal of this post is to be candid about my future plans and goals.
So I didn't st...
2018-11-04 00:48:32 +0000 UTC View PostI'll probably have a few hours before my second writing session, so in my comments, do we want to see Rand's first fight next or finish Naffur's little jaunt? (For reference, I think Naffur is just two more chapters and he will be done for a while).
P.S.: You h...

With a deep breath, Naffur brought his focus back. Although his hands were trembling, he picked up the letters.
Just take steps forwards. The results will come with practice.
There was note that gave Naffur some encouragement. After the Lottery, Naffur had access...

“It won’t be a big thing, but my new employer is throwing a party for me before I return with him to Donnyton,” Mareen said excitedly. People flowed past them on the sidewalks, but Naffur barely noticed him. His breathing was short and his skin was tingling as he stared at the ...

Randidly woke to the omnipresent feeling of danger. It felt like the world was crashing down around him. The pounding of his own heart in his ears did nothing to distract from the impending doom.
Sharpening his senses, Randidly immediately sensed the source: a figure was floati...

As they passed each other, the spears tapped against one another with surprising gentleness. It was only a spar, so neither Helen nor Azriel were really giving their all to win. It was more a way to explore each other’s capabilities.
Besides, sparring with lowered intensity w...
2018-10-30 04:54:54 +0000 UTC View PostApologies for the no notice, I effectively took this weekend off to celebrate Halloween and have family time.
Because starting Monday, full NaNoWriMo gear. Goal is two a day, but overall looking to break 50 chapters in November.
I did read your comments on whether to spend some more time on ...
2018-10-29 04:05:40 +0000 UTC View PostJust the one tonight. I thought this one was important, and I can't decide how I want some other things to be paced. So I'll ask you: Keep the plot moving or show more of Lucretia and Alta? Keep in mind that we will have some Naffur chapters coming up.

As Shal charged forward, Versault raised his other hand. Once more, those woven reeds filled Shal’s every sense. It seemed like he could smell the dirt and running water. There was the soft rustle of wind amongst them.
Grinning, Shal stepped to the side. If nothing else, he k...

Randidly blinked. “... you think the Spearsource didn’t show up until the Spearman left.”
Trentyon was watching Randidly with a half smile, but when the other man spoke Trentyon scowled. “Well, I suppose that is a rather inelegant way of saying it, but I suppose I could...
2018-10-25 04:45:36 +0000 UTC View PostOnly one today. This chapter and the next one just are pretty critical, so I want to make sure I didn't make any dumb mistakes in the histories.

As the White Martyr stood, Lucretia’s eyes narrowed. Based on their movements, these four were powerful, but not on the class of the Earth Golem she had faced at the Minister’s residence all those years ago. These were the distraction, while the closer would come in later.

“Shit,” Alta announced to the room as she threw her hands up to the sky. The two assistants that worked part-time in the workshop kept their eyes on their own work as the circuitry in front of Alta fizzled in submission as connectors gave out.
Lucretia smiled helplessly as Alta ob...
2018-10-22 04:49:41 +0000 UTC View PostOnly one tonight. Want to give a little extra time to the historical account of the Spearman.
Randidly winced and raised his hand to his chest as he walked through the illuminated streets of Hastam. Was it heartburn? To think that since he gave the recipe to Claptr...
2018-10-19 04:55:29 +0000 UTC View PostSometimes I look at the chapter numbers and shake my head. They don't even mean anything anymore.
“Who do you think will win?” Helen asked as she slowly moved through her warm-up routine.
Azriel didn’t even blink as she replied. “Randidly.” 2018-10-18 04:48:08 +0000 UTC View Post
“This is a serious matter. Are you certain?” Skarch asked him for the fourth time.
Randidly did his best not to roll his eyes. Although he understood the connection that Skarch had to her spear, this was getting ridiculous. “Yes, I am sure. Based on my understanding of your spea...
2018-10-18 04:46:15 +0000 UTC View PostThese chapters are fun to write. Back to Rand for a few, then we will get the next leg of Lucretia's story.

2018-10-17 04:40:50 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Alta hopped off her mount she stumbled, but for a 10-year-old she was surprisingly balanced. Although it certainly looked like she would faceplant into the dirt track, a mad pinwheeling of her arms managed to stabilize herself.
Lucretia’s mouth twitched. For all the girl’s faults, fearful...
