Ok, here’s the first one.

@savannah_grace2009

So I really want to keep reading your story, and I need to double check—are the chapters you’re sharing on here in the Reedsy link you shared with me? Or is the link an older draft?

@ellette-giselle

I would love to see them!!

@jonas @freed_and_redeemed @savannah_grace2009 @highscribeofaetherium @rae

btw, anyone interested in taking a look at the character boards I just finished up?

@rae

He does pretty well in the beginning, but then Vorgan uses Nahim’s greatest fear to break him. It’s the darkest hour in my book, and I haven’t written it fully yet.

Ooooo, love it!!! YES YES YES!! You have to post that scene as soon as you write it!!

@ellette-giselle

Wait really??!!!! I want to read that!!! I love capture scenes. Especial if the badguys are really mean and the hero still doesn’t lose his head. all though, from what I’ve seen of Nahim………

Next chapter, Vorgan captures Nahim, and takes Nahim’s weapons.

@anyone else who’s read Nahim is bad at guns
I take it back!
So, I was doing some research stuff this afternoon, ya know, adding more suspicious stuff to my search history, and finally looked up how to correctly write a sword fight, cuz I’ve been avoiding those since I’m really bad at fight scenes. During my quest for…[Read more]

Writing sprints are really fun! So are crawls… which is something similar, but it’s longer and more involved. I’ve been doing some of those over at the King’s Daughters’ Writing Camp. (Which y’all should check out! It’s awesome!!)

“Woah,” he breathed, watching Liv’s complete control over the water. “Cool.” He half-smiled.

I’m kinda stuck now, lol. We can keep their conversation going or end it here if you want. Or maybe we can have them meet up with some other peeps.

@highscribeofaetherium

One, Mandin said it would take Nahim several minutes to defeat an opponent with a sword. Exchanges with swords actually usually last for a handful of seconds.

I know that, you know that, Nahim knows that, but Mandin? Sure, he probably does, but he’s trying to make a point. He’s been attempting to get Nahim into guns for a…[Read more]

Just wanted to pop in and say I love how this is going! Cassian is a much better character imo now that I’ve seen him with Sef.

@rae

Oooo, I really like that! Sounds good!

@grcr

@savannah_grace2009

Aww, I loved this scene!! 🥰
