Chapter 5 is in the books. One lesson completed in Teachable. Not a bad day of productive work.
And I still have a critique group to attend on Zoom tonight.

Baleirithys does everything he can to enhance his natural beauty, because he believes it’s his best trait.
Ceirithi, who is widely held to be stunning, believes he is not beautiful because of his scar.

Prophecy #71 suggests that minotaurs are uncommon but accepted among the so-called civilized races. Orcs, on the other hand, struggle for acceptance and mostly participate in society in marginalized roles.

The query process is broken. Months of searching, dead ends, and missed opportunities. Write Query Hook is the solution.

Screenshot of the following novel excerpt: Silk scarves must feel basically the same way when they unravel as Nasrin feels soaking into the Tree. Every fiber stretches out, bits disconnect, but they stay rooted to larger scraps that hold together. Her frayed ends start to feel more like tentacles streaming from a malleable nucleus. She flexes her tentacles in circumspect undulations, reaching out and pulling in. Everything tastes and smells like a wooden stirrer soaked in sweet tea. She constantly hears a pestle running along the rim of a chiming bowl. Through closed eyelids he sees light as if looking up at the noonday sun. Her eyes sting when she opens them. Squinting helps. She sees nothing but green static at first. Blinking brings more distinct shapes into focus. She stands inside a wooden tower, looking up from the base of a spiral staircase leading up to story upon story of platforms on which stand unfamiliar people dress in choir robes. Her body clips into the floor at her hips. From there down she senses that her body splits into a network of kraken-esque appendages reaching through the walls to the Tree’s roots and limbs.
Context: Nasrin has just turned herself into a steam cloud and soaked into a magic tree. It may or may not absorb her soul and she may or may not be able to extract herself, but she might get to see Julrane again, and that's all she really cares about. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunty #tenacle
Happy (belated) New Year, #WIPSnips and #WritingCommunty friends! Had a nice #writing and #WriteSky break over the holidays, but now I'm ready to get back to it!
#AwesomeCharacters (Cavern Clipper)
Hm, Nyxel probably fits in here. Their mission was to deliver the critical message to Human Cavern Territory at all costs, and while this is not exactly guaranteed injury/destruction, it's certainly highly likely when dealing with humans

Cavern Clipper sequel (Cavern Echoes) start, 1804 words written. I wasn't even supposed to be here today!!!
Welp, i did it. This wasn't supposed to happen for at least six months! I was supposed to edit Cavern Clipper until it was somewhat polished, then write something else! Yet here I am, writing this damn dancing scene between the two MCs!
I hate you so much, inspiration!

There we go. First draft of Book 18 is finished. That rolled by quicker than expected. Tale was clear in my head & just fell onto the page.
Now, a three day weekend before I get started on Book 19. 😱
Hope you all had a productive week and gave a great weekend. #WritingCommunty #Writersky
Haven't done a #WIPSnips before, but I actually have a work in progress at the moment so let's do this thing!
Lachesse is expected to provide an heir. She's not thrilled about it.

I've learnt that book promotion can become all encompassing to the point that you forget to write. It's the end of November and I'm going to give myself a break and get some energy back for writing... however I'm conscious I said that to myself at the end of October... #writingcommunty #booksky
2026 is just around the corner. Instead of drafting specific resolutions that will likely fail, use these 26 rules as a compass.

I'd say Sam would want, in his current position, something that would be able to fly, so that it would not fall over the edge of the Silverbrow and plunge the kilometers down to whatever cavern floor they're on now.
Like a raven, maybe.

#writerscoffeeclub 10/25 Does destiny have a role in modern fiction.
In general? Sure, write what you want.
In mine? Don't think so, my MCs are more 'wrench in the works' type of characters, the unknowing drops of chaos that makes well laid plans melt down around them.

Holy smokes!
I got picked for #10queries. Thank you #Revpit!
Now I get to fantasize about the poor editor who gets to read my wacky premise and first attempt at a query.
Sorry in advance!

Everything a Dog Should Be My dog Willy came into my life exactly when I needed him. My heart was closed to everyone but my daughters. He taught me to trust in something again. He showed me it was okay to open up. He’s my best friend. My truest companion. I trust him more than you. And I can say that to almost everybody. He makes me laugh and he’s always happy. Happy to be with me, excited for every walk, thrilled at the same old dinner. The big guy always has a smile and a wag in his tail. He makes my heart light when I need it most. I get lifted watching his simple joy of life. It’s infectious. He might not be the dog for everybody, but he’s everything a dog should be to me. -JSC

Temporary book cover. A trunk of a tee, clearly cut down, has a tiny new stem of growth coming from the center. White text above reads "A Tchao in Ilimak, a story of Dainu, by JG Duke".
Abducted and sold to a foreign army, Tro must learn to adapt to survive this strange land full of magic and violence. War is hell, but maybe he doesn’t have to survive it alone.
