Won't be getting that last chapter for the week; for those of you plugged into Royalroad, there was a communication issue that sorta blindsided me earlier in the week. A lot of yesterday and today was spent solving that.

Luckily, I think we reached a good compromise. One stress handled.

Besides, I want to re-edit the present tense out of the prior two chapters before I start writing another one T.T. You will be happy to know my current read is in past tense. I'll get you some chap...

Plotting Day

As I hinted yesterday, today will be my off day as I wrack my brain. I'm so conflicted on the length of this arc, because I'm enjoying the interludes. But I also want to get to the next big Rand in the Nexus thing. Hum hum.

Anyway, back tomorrow.

And we are back! Thanks to everyone who has bought and reviewed LoRG Book 1; I've really appreciate the support. I poured a lot of time into those rewrites xD. Definitely made it a stressful spring/summer.

Annie squinted at the horizon, surrounded by the rugged beauty of the snow-capped mountains. The first signs of snow sent a tingle through her body, like calling to like. But for now, the powerful wind through the Nordawn Mountain Range dragged leaves and twigs through its high passes, leading to strange rivers of airborne debr...

Dusk curled its fingers shyly around the tropical sea, rewarding Randidly’s attendees with choppy waves of brass, molten gold, and crimson before the sky exhaled and passed into bruised purple and indigo. Night left the air warm, encouraging the party to continue without any pause.

Just one tonight. A few quick notes.

I've dithered on this event more than I expected. Tomorrow we will pick up the pace.

Second, a reminder that the first LoRG book comes out in a week, on 11/9! It's pretty heavily rewritten- a lot of arcs remade to fit what came later, so I encourage everyone to give it a read. View Post

“Meat’s done,” Selene pulled off plastic gloves and tossed them into the trash can. Several workers began to dig up the roasted meat and bring it to the butcher to be cut. She nodded to Randidly and Tatiana. “Just need to spread it out on the plates. Hungry people usually will handle the rest on their own, even without ...

Sydney knew that awkward not-a-smile expression on Randidly’s face. She had spent far too much time knowing him, watching him grow, to miss how ill-equipped he felt to deal with this conversation regarding his romantic desirability. Even though he had taken a lot of steps forward as he adapted to the System and grew in confid...
