Hello readers, I have been struggling to find a way to write this that didn't sound like the world was collapsing. So let me start this way. I am currently fine, in fact I feel better than I have felt in nearly a week. This is due to a bevy of pain killers that my doctor finally gave me a prescri...
2021-04-12 22:11:08 +0000 UTC View PostSorry this is so late, I am in a bit of pain and I can't sleep at night. This is leaving me groggy during the days and making writing very unfocused and difficult.
That being said, the chapter is written, I just need time to do some cleanup and editing, so expect it later today.
Heather stood at the foot of a robed Hathlisora with wings folded and tail wrapped around one leg. A delicate smile graced her face as she looked down with narrow eyes. Her left arm was curled as if about to play with her hair, but her right arm was extended, a single finger pointing down. At her...
2021-04-07 01:56:18 +0000 UTC View PostLilly burst into the tent and stormed directly to Gersius and Sarah as they looked over a map. Gams, Lengwin, and a dozen officers from Ulustrah and Astikar looked up at the sudden disturbance.
“I am not wasting a single flake more of the gold on this stupid weave!” she insisted a...
2021-04-04 21:19:41 +0000 UTC View PostSorry I am one again behind on my writing. I am having trouble sleeping because of medical issues and I am still working every day of the week if I can. As a result when I do manage to sit down to write I am so tired I write gibberish and throw it all out to start over.
I am taking this Sun...
2021-04-02 23:51:41 +0000 UTC View Post“And you are?” Heather said as a dark form stepped out of the inner doorway. The figure was nearly half as tall again as Heather with greenish skin. The ears were pointy, the eyes yellow pits over a tiny nose. The mouth smiled with sharp teeth that glistened in Umtha's magical light. Long dar...
2021-03-31 23:46:08 +0000 UTC View Post“It is shameful,” Alayse remarked as Mingfe stood by impassively.
“You have come and made your request. I do not wish to engage in your many disagreements. Commander Thayle showed you a tremendous amount of respect by appointing you as her voice in meetings she can’t be present for....
2021-03-28 19:53:50 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, So I have a lot of paperwork for medical issues, taxes, and other things slowing me down. I managed to get Heather up, and I to catch up I took tomorrow off work. I will spend the day working on dragon knight and try to get the chapter up with only a day late.
2021-03-27 01:05:13 +0000 UTC View Post“Are we there yet?” Quinny asked for the fifth time as Heather struggled not to take the bait. They had walked all night, following Endril’s pointing finger to guide them across an otherwise barren landscape. When the hour grew late, Heather, Umtha, and Legeis slept inside the room, and Fra...
2021-03-26 20:57:40 +0000 UTC View PostSorry all, but I have managed to develop a medical condition that is causing me a great deal of pain, and requiring a lot of tests and time spent doing anything but writing. I also managed to have my car breakdown and the mechanics say I would be better off buying a new one. Now I am not surprise...
2021-03-24 22:58:02 +0000 UTC View PostSarah tapped her foot impatiently as Thayle’s officers began to snicker.
“You’re serious?” Thayle asked. “You want me to drop everything so you can take me dress shopping?”
“I simply want to get you a few more things to wear,” Sarah replied. “Your sister was excited ...
2021-03-21 03:45:37 +0000 UTC View PostSorry that was so late. I am having issues, not the least of which is a sudden swelling on the right side of my neck. It has come and gone several times over the passed few weeks, but every time it comes back it is more painful. I am finally seeing a doctor about it today, so lets hope I'm ...
2021-03-18 14:46:31 +0000 UTC View PostHeather and the others looked around in surprise as a great howl echoed as if from someplace distant. The whole space shook as if in a minor tremor, and they looked about briefly before Heather returned to the matter at hand.
“You can explain?” Heather shouted as she shook with rage. ...
2021-03-18 14:41:43 +0000 UTC View PostSorry, but I reread the chapter and realized I went a tad too dark, and didn't cover some of the ground I needed. I decided to rework it and cover the things that needed covering. This will delay the chapter a day, but I will be happier with it.
2021-03-17 02:20:17 +0000 UTC View PostGersius and his wives were up before dawn, with thoughts of the valley heavy in their hearts. He had come to realize just how much Lilly wanted to live there, and even more surprisingly, Sarah's need for it. Thayle was right. Sarah was hurting for her place in the order of dragons and filling the...
2021-03-13 02:44:47 +0000 UTC View PostBlue bands of light wrapped around her form as Endril lifted his hand. Heather found it impossible to move as she floated in the air. Helpless, all she could do was panic as he reached in and snatched her up.
“I wonder if you are Hannahs’ familiar? he said as a smile spread over his fac...
2021-03-11 02:16:17 +0000 UTC View PostSorry Heather is so late. I have been working a lot of long hours to make some extra money and I come home and fall asleep. Still, I have the chapter written and through one phase of editing with is the longest phase. This is where I read it aloud to myself to look for jarring dialog or poorly wo...
2021-03-11 01:38:18 +0000 UTC View PostThayle looked up at the tent as she lay trapped between her lovers. Lilly nestled to her stomach with arms wrapped tightly around her waist. Sarah was to her right, pressed to her shoulder, while Gersius was to her left laying on his side, watching while stroking Lilly’s head.
“Do you w...
2021-03-07 01:36:28 +0000 UTC View PostThe caravan stopped in a rock-strewn field, and preparations were made to camp for the night. Endril arrived with details of who would stand watch and who would sleep. To add insult to injury, he insisted Frank be near the front to protect him personally. He informed Heather that dinner would be ...
2021-03-04 03:03:50 +0000 UTC View PostChapter is going to be late. I have it mostly written but I am trying to work an angle into the text that I keep thinking feels forced. I will hopefully have it written fully in the hour, and then will take a break before starting the edits.
“You are sure the effect of your weave has worn off?” a woman's voice said, drawing Thayle out of a haze that clouded her senses. It sounded almost familiar, a type of speech she had heard before, but where?
“My weaves ended hours ago, and your concoction has run its course,” ...
2021-02-28 17:04:26 +0000 UTC View PostSorry the chapter is so late, I have been having issues finding time to sit down and edit it. I have a 9.5k chapter written but I need more time to finish a proper edit. It should be up sometimes Sunday.
I keep setting goals to do extra writing only to have the time I set aside f...
2021-02-28 04:43:14 +0000 UTC View PostThey arrived at the caravan to find it contained a dozen pack mules and only two wagons. There were also six other men and women in simple clothes standing as if ready to go. This immediately caused some concern that Breanne took up with Endril. He explained they wouldn't need as many...
2021-02-24 01:30:45 +0000 UTC View PostHe stood before the grand throne of marble and gold as his thoughts went to dark places. He was the dragon knight, appointed by the Father Abbot and given the support of the order of Astikar. He proclaimed the new emperor in a lavish ceremony that only proved how little power he had. Nearly half ...
2021-02-20 01:59:35 +0000 UTC View Post“Do you think we’re far enough away?” Breanne asked as she walked between Frank and Legeis.
Frank looked over his shoulder to the dusty path behind them. The cliff they were skirting ended two hours ago, allowing them to turn into the rocky sand. They left the road behind and wi...
2021-02-16 20:39:38 +0000 UTC View PostThe morning was damp as a slight wind ruffled the endless rows of tents. Gersius ordered the army to sit in place and wait for the newly liberated women of Ulustrah to arrive. Extra horses and wagons were sent south to help speed their arrival, but most would have to walk the whole way. To ensure...
2021-02-12 20:10:23 +0000 UTC View PostHeather sulked in the corner of the palanquin as the sun rapidly raced across the sky, leaving a red hue on the horizon and early stars in the east. She wore the tattered yellow dress, stained with soil and blood from the forest encounter. To attempt to make it better, Webster used his silk...
2021-02-10 01:56:34 +0000 UTC View Post“You’re sure the girl had blue hair?” Thayle asked as Lilly paced the room they now occupied in Duncan’s keep.
“It was dark, and I don’t think Gersius was looking in the dragon sight. Her hair looked black to him, but it was blue,” Lilly replied with a crackle in her voice. ...
2021-02-06 04:31:21 +0000 UTC View PostI am running a little behind on today's chapter. I have it written but I need more time to edit it and make it readable, or as close to that as I can get. So tonight or late tomorrow since I am working until 5 my time.
On a side note. I discovered that I can advertise thro...
2021-02-06 00:19:22 +0000 UTC View PostHeather held up the shredded yellow dress with a sigh. She was grateful it was a magical dress and would repair on its own, but it would take a full day. Until then, she would wear the fancier blue one she stole from Moon. It was more fitting of a princess; she thought as she sat quietly in the p...
