Also….

Why would Onnendel be sending orcs to hunt his own band? And then give himself away by a notable device on his minions’ uniforms?

@ellette-giselle

What? XD Oh no. I’ll tweak that. Sorry for the unclarified pronoun.

Onnendel is not the traitor. It would be a great twist, but he’s too much of Aenwest’s cinnamon roll to have a negative arc..

Plus… Backstory. Lots of backstory….

They’ll talk more about that in the next two chapters.

The next chapter is up!

In Which Orcs Stink, and Dwogin Plays Hockey

Chapter 6

“Cowards and kettledrums!” Dwogin bellowed. His axe sprang into his hand and the stout warrior went charging into the first line of the ambushment. Orcs flew like flies over a hotly contested piece of garbage. I gagged.

In the chaos that ensued, I caught a glimpse of Onnendel and Tra…[Read more]

I guess I have a magic system, but it’s more a power system. In my KoS/Shattered Kingdoms series, there are unseen powers behind almost everything. Influences from the races of the Lighted and the Faded on the race of Blood. (Made the names up on the spot. XD) It’s pretty obviously allegorical, but I’m having fun developing it as if it’s not so I…[Read more]

@trailblazer

Absolutely welcome! I may have to struggle to finish something, but characters and random ideas are my cup of tea. 🙂

@koshka

TRASHGRIFFINS!!!

@koshka

OoooOOOoohHHHHhhhhh nnnNNNNOOOOooooo…….

Yep.

I do have a rough mythology as much as I want to have it. The god of war and his consort the goddess of prosperity run around doing their thing while the god of the yurt (home/tent) tries to just keep the tents from burning in the chaos. I have decided not to go too in depth, since I…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

EXACTLY. XD I even started a language simply so I could have it on signs in the illustrations. Like, no one speaks it in the story, but it’s there??? It did help me figure out the social hierarchy though, since I had all these neat names and no names to put them to.

HOWEVER. I am rather proud of the Dorwain’s pagan religion, as dark…[Read more]

It’s porridge, but the “everything but the kitchen sink kind” and is delicous.

And most of that you probably already knew, but there it is. You said “character arcs” and I got excited. XD Sorry.

@trailblazer

First off, that story sounds incredibly intriguing. Not your average story, and maybe one that you can use to deal with things most people deal with, but don’t talk about.

For developing character arcs, I would suggest you 1. Find a message, 2. Find a flaw that corresponds and fits the character uniquely 3. Determine what the…[Read more]

I talk about it to my siblings. XD And I keep an eye open for ideas. For instance, while at a funeral I realized I didn’t know my charrie’s traditional burials. Flash forward to when I ran across some archeology, and I decided to hunt for ideas. Now I have a detailed burial system depending on the place and/or culture in the world. Same thing…[Read more]

Well, I obviously took those with artificial light. XD At least they finally came through. Any thoughts? 😁

@ellette-giselle @koshka @keliah-h @hybridlore @theducktator

Ok everyone! Last night I tried to share the character concept art, but apparently it didn’t go through. I’m going to try sharing them again now.

Y’all. This is sad.

I’ve put aside most of my fun reading during January to focus on things. And I just realized. One of my family checked out The Screwtape Letters in my favorite audio book version. (And it’s due in 16 minutes.)

*Marianne level sobbing*

Just kidding. XD

I’ll laugh when I write, and sometimes I’ll tear up. Usually it’s not…[Read more]

I think it’s happening later today.
