Moonlight filtered through the window in her workshop. Pungent smells filled the air as the newest test brew boiled in a vial over a controlled fire. Aviana flipped through her book, making sure she didn’t miss a step. Knowing her mood tonight, she would. She needed to focus on trying her hand at this family recipe, but her mind wouldn’t stop thinking about the interaction with Siverath earlier today. She hadn’t expected that to go so well, at least not with him. Was it reall

I am a #NaNoWinner2015! The goal was to make it to 50k, but I managed to get past that and got to 64,515 words! Crazy, I know. I never thought I'd get this far or could possibly write that many words in a month. This past month has been quite interesting. I had always thought about participating in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) but either couldn't find any time to do it, or I was too knee deep in another project, usually revisions, where I couldn't start something

Today is Day 30 of NaNoWriMo! My total for day 29 of NaNoWriMo was 995 words. Today is the last day of NaNo and I'm still blown away that I actually got this far.

I hit him in the arm and Rinneth snickered. “I ca

All passages were in order from yesterday's post, so here's what I wrote: He scratched the back of his head. “You think so?” Zalrish chuckled. “I told you I knew what I was doing.” he then looked over the dress and my new drawing. “Love, you really need to come work for me. This dress, it’s beautiful!” “Zalrish, we’ve been over this.

Today is Day 27 of NaNoWriMo! My total for day 26 of NaNoWriMo was 658 words. Pretty impressive with me traveling and such for Thanksgiving. All passages were in order from yesterday's post, so here's what I wrote: I looked over the dress some more while creating some dramatic tension with the men in the room. Atria remained quiet, but I was aware of her presence in place of Rashta, and aware of the energy needed to keep her there. Zalrish swore at me in elvish. “I hate it wh

Today is Day 26 of NaNoWriMo! Happy Thanksgiving for those in the US. For those, Happy Thanksgiving for the day your country celebrates, if they celebrate at all!

Unsurprisingly they all found the new padding intriguing as was

Today is Day 24 of NaNoWriMo and yes I'm still doing the rest of this month like I claimed. My total for day 23 of NaNoWriMo was 1,071 words. All passages were in order from yesterday's post, so here's what I wrote: Chapter 11 (Rinneth) Ramos opened the door of the game lounge for me and we entered like normal, only to find the lounge to be a bit emptier than normal. Most would think because it was a weekday, this place would be fairly empty, but in my times coming here, I’d

Today is Day 23 of NaNoWriMo and I'm super stoked! My total for day 22 of NaNoWriMo was 3,897 words. This means.....I make it to 50k words! *party dance* Actually, I'm now over the 50k mark, and still have 8 days remaining.

Today is Day 22 of NaNoWriMo! My total for day 21 of NaNoWriMo was 1,489 words. Not as much as I wanted to accomplish, but it is, what it is. All passages were in order from yesterday's post, so here's what I wrote: My brow rose. That didn’t make any sense. It didn’t make sense for her question my answer.

So, Allyson, what do you have to share with me?” Allyson leaned in close, and kept her voice low. “They next two maps are tucked away in two differ

Today is Day 20 of NaNoWriMo! I can't believe I've been doing this for 20 days straight. Some days I haven't done a lot of writing, but I still wrote something. My total for day 19 of NaNoWriMo was 1,850 words. Very good day for a weekday. Let's see what I can come up with on a Friday :).
