@devastate-lasting @annabelle @karissa-chmil @power @autumn-rebecca @lavenderbookling @anyone else who joins this thread:
I’ve recently started rewriting my second book. Here’s an excerpt from what I’ve just wrote today:
Salvárdé stood next to Tarûkon as Mérar haggled with the stable owner over the price of such a long-term board. The dark-skinned warrior had a huge grin stretched from ear to ear, and Salvárdé nudged him.
“This like coming home for you?”
“Me? Naw.” Tarûkon laughed. “Like I said earlier, my tribe were nomads. But we did used to visit Al’chatamet when I was very small to sell our wares — this brings back memories, is all.”
“It’s so loud!” Salvárdé winced as another person walked past yelling their wares at the top of their voices, even as another lady tried to shove basket full of handkerchiefs under his nose, chatting away in … a language the boy didn’t even know? “And there are so many cultures that aren’t even Férījinarian!”
“Ha! Wait will you get inside the city.” Tarûkon grinned. “Al’chatamet is a cultural hub — people from all races, creeds and walks of life come here to mix and mingle, gain experience, and sometimes settle down. It’s a good place to be a tradesman — the city is optimised for the merchant class.”
“Really?” Salvárdé paused, eying the older man. “How many leatherworkers reside in the city, do you think?”
“Nothing short of a hundred. They have a whole quarter dedicated to the leatherworker’s guild.” Tarûkon wiped his forehead, even as Salvárdé’s brain whirled in excitement. “Whew! Hope the Captain doesn’t take too much longer.” He glanced at the smirking merchant. “Zeth it all, I’m gonna solve his problem.”
Hope you all enjoyed that!😊
The end of a story, a beautiful picture; a feeling of longing yet hope~

Thank you. *accepts your offer* I do love a good cookie.
Great success often depends on being able to distinguish between the impossible and the improbable.

Thank you!
Thanks! Yes, I’ve had some people (most people) tell me my names are impossible to pronounce. I think I need to include a pronunciation guide at the start of the book. XD.
I’m sorry to hear about the tragedy. I pray that God gives you healing in this troubled time.

@karissa-chmil I totally get that. It took me DAYS of designing my blog until I was happy with it.In the words of Jinto Queb, "Hurry, reading is fun!"
@trahia-the-minstrel XD I’m much more comfortable with most accents due to being bilingual, but then I accidentally throw something in there and my readers just go “WHOA WAIT WHAT”.
Thank you. <3
@annabelle Heheh, yep.wonder | beauty | truth | love

Words have the ability to touch the darkest souls... The receiver must simply allow them to.
