Posts by Laken Honeycutt 💫 drafting book 3 💫

From draft one of Book 3 (TMF), chapter 26, Isyra POV:

Mounded earth, covered in thick moss and twice as tall as a man, rises before them. At its center is a door of stone. 

“You’re up,” Korrin said, and Isyra snapped her gaze to him. “You get one try. One false move will trigger the guards and announce our arrival.”

Isyra gaped at him. He had to be kidding. It took her the enitre walk here and multiple stings to open the much smaller box.

Korrin leaned in closer and whispered, “Don’t worry. This gate is much less complicated than the box I gave you. You got this.”

“Thank you so much,” Isyra responded and wanted to huck the smaller stone box at him.

Sharing a scene much later in the story than usual… Korrin gave Isyra an unpleasant puzzle to work on while they walked to their destination… 🎪🖤✨ #WIPSnips from TMF subbing “complicated” for “convoluted”

Really curious about that demon scar Fox has.

Love this bit of lore on demon possession and how it can happen—very believable. And It sounds like perhaps this has been weaponized too which is a delightfully terrifying thought 🖤✨

They are!!! How amazing you get to see them… I think foxes are special and they don’t arrive for anyone.

It is so sad—I agree, Charlie! It’s such a difficult situation. It was sad in book 2 too, but now it’s even more complicated. Feel for both of them 😢

From draft one of Book 3 (TMF), chapter 7, Panez POV:

His heart crashed, and he pulled back, casting his eyes down, giving her space.

“I’m sorry—” she began, but he held up a hand—that she would even say the words.

“Please don’t be,” he said, his voice still taut, knowing he would need a cold dip in the Kalim to cool himself down. “It’s okay.”

He rose to his feet, his heart hitching at the tears that rolled down her cheeks.

“It’s not okay,” she said as she blocked his path. “It’s not okay, and you don’t have to deal with this. You deserve better.”

“It’s okay, Elijwa. I understand.”

“Don’t you want to settle down?” Elijwa asked, her voice rising to a high pitch. “Fall in love, start a family.”

He looked at her incredulously. “Yes, of course I do.” He said, and he didn’t need to say the rest. That yes, he wanted to express his full love for her without feeling like a burden. That yes, he very much wanted a family… with her.

Panez and Elijwa are working through some things left unresolved in Book 2… 🎪🖤✨ #WIPSnips from TMF for “ deal”

😂 Oh, that’s a good point! Yes, I have the inside information… well sometimes. Sometimes I think I know what’s going on and it’s usually at that time the characters do something totally unexpected 😋

😂😂 Indeed. And I’m probably not supposed to pick sides but I think he deserves it 😆🖤

Ætheren is accepting of his mistakes unless they get him noticed… then we have a problem!

Isyra is far more accepting of other people’s mistakes than her own. Unless it’s Korrin, then she rubs his face in the mistake 😂

I can totally see Av’ry joking about being perfect!

I can imagine how devastating that mindset can be for Ray 💔

Feeling so fortunate…

I always read 3 books at once:
📖 one is on my kindle—I read every night before bed
🎧 one is an audiobook—I listen on walks, doing chores, etc
🪶 One is a beta/ARC read

Usually I have one I’m really into but right now all 3 are so fantastically good!

Oh my! You’re busy! It’s too much—us writers just need space to write 😊 I feel like I write in sprints these days because it’s all I have time for. I just want to sit down for a few hours with endless coffee and do nothing else but write.✨Dreams✨

long, thin curved sabre-like sword whose edge has dozens of curved spikes

long, thin curved sabre-like sword whose edge has dozens of curved spikes

similar sword as before though now much more gnarly and with more detail, as well as some additional creepy spiky bits. it looks disturbingly organic.

Original from 2024 vs Remake from just now. Deals every form of poison damage known to mankind.
