The City of Az’Kabek
It sounds like exaggeration, does it not? I was there, and it is still difficult to credit.
WIP: Boy, Is She Persistent
She guided me – taught me, which by design should not have been possible – to never kill children, to avoid the unwisdom of well-armed cities. She
taught me, friend, to stop before my prey would die.
WIP: Notte Finds Peace
I had discovered a state of existence other than hunger, and I wanted more. Tranquility spins a siren-song of its own.
Notte Snippet: where the Dream have Gone
Tiny yearning tugged at me. What would I find, if I could find my way there?
Notte Snippet: The Word of a Friend
We carried stories from town to town, transmitting parables like pathogens, connecting people via the thin threads of empathy and imagination who would otherwise never meet.
NaNoWriMo: The Salted Road
So many things seem eternal, seem, in the moment, to be without end and culturally permanent scars. The great flood; the memory of dragons; the knowledge that there are demons in the dark.
NaNoWriMo Snippet: Heroes
I now present an unedited snippet from Notte, the dramatic hero of my WIP. SO dramatic. Oh my.
Notte Snippet
The tower was filled with breaking. Breaking wills, breaking minds, breaking cries. At every turn, every landing, even every stairwell, Saqalu draped and twisted, wings out, faces stretched, and if they were aware of me at all, they told me to run.
Snippet for August (and a personal update)
Flames dance thanks to exothermic reactions, a process that releases energy to its surroundings in the form of heat and light.
So did she.
Notte Snippet for May, 2018
She sort of… skipped, boots barely touching the treacherous ground, keeping on her feet even as I slipped and staggered and relied solely on her grip to keep me on mine.
Pearl’s Bottom
Yet another snippet from Notte! Unedited, messy, etc. Enjoy! Horse’s instructions seemed simple: I was to find the city of Mercy; to locate the inn called Pearl’s Bottom; to rent a bed, yet not use it, and instead wait in the public room below for a week and a day. If I did these things, …
Notte Snippet: We Were Not Fast Enough
Just a glimpse from my newest WIP, Notte. Enjoy! My panic did no good. We could not escape the dead. Everywhere, everywhere, forests burned and fields blood-stained and wells left black and poisoned. Everywhere, everywhere, empty homes like cold, dead bones, and weapons tossed aside and gleaming like cursed jewels. Everywhere, everywhere, animals, gutted and …
Sneak-Peak: Notte Grows a Conscience
“Do those you drink from die?”
“Yes,” I said. “But sometimes, they live.”
Notte Snippet: Shared Life Experience
This is a work in progress. 🙂 Typos, verb tense problems, and more issues abound, but it’s still pretty fun.
The First War: The First Mention
So here’s this thing that I’ve know about forever, but have had no opportunity to talk about yet. It’s called the First War, and was probably one of the most culturally significant things to ever happen among the Mythos.
Notte Snippet: No, Don’t Do it
Notte’s having a really bad day. I won’t give more context for the moment.
Near the End of Nanowrimo: Notte Snippet
A slightly longer snippet this time, and one I rather like.
Catching Up/ Notte’s Grief
Hey, all! It’s been a while since I posted. I actually have a good reason: homework.
Notte Snippet: Yes, That’s Elf-TV.
It was some kind of fey soap opera. Falling somewhere between clownish tragedy and romantic comedy, it shone with vibrancy and humor in this dark, underground world.
