She didn’t look comfortable with Ohel. Why did he even say he could be a part of the group? Nobody even wanted him to be. Alessio should’ve asked them first, or made a better decision. Why was he even making that decision in the first place, who was supposed to be the leader of this group?

Leana glanced up at him, but not reproachfully. She tru…[Read more]

Alessio didn’t say anything a moment, but at least he didn’t sputter… “Right now we’re pooling all our resources into survival in the hopes we’ll find something, or someone, that can provide some direction.”

Ohel brows lifted. *thoughts* He risked a glance toward the man behind the counter. *more thoughts* Ohel bit his tongue, waiting for Ales…[Read more]

My plotting process is following ✨da vibes✨

It is pain and agony. 🤣😭

*bows dramatically, swishing sparkly glitter all around*

*points accusatively* She’s a plotter, she finished her first drafts in like a few months she is evil. 😌

OF COURSE TROLL EMPRESS I SHALL NOT RULE THIS CITY I SHALL RULE THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…[Read more]

Ohel nodded, still wary. He was looking at Leana and then him as if… Oh not you too!! Seriously everyone, everyone assumed they were a couple!?! It was one thing for Arsene to have to tease him mercilessly that was his job, but he wasn’t really giving that impression, was he??

She was just a really cool person that’s all!!

“I can be willing…[Read more]

“I’m Alessio,” The man closest to the girl spoke. Is he her’s? Perhaps. She seems to trust him. “I won’t shoot you unless you try to harm someone.”

Ohel’s shoulders relaxed the smallest bit, though he cast the masked man a worried glance. “It sounds reasonable. Unless you’re a threat, I don’t want to fight you, either.”

“As for where we are, you…[Read more]

Alessio relaxed slightly when Leana nodded.

“It just startled me.” She said softly.

“That’s ok, you were alert,” He said gently, trying to do that “reassurance” thing Nithel was really good at… Not to mention Alessio would’ve been on even more pins and needles if he didn’t know she’d make a noise if there was any trouble.

“My name…[Read more]

Bold words to address to someone who literally made her first draft public. LOL.

A third man stepped near, “What’s going on?” His tone was hard, and the mask didn’t help the façade.

Ohel took a small step back, holding his hands higher, away from the dagger. His heart pounded as the masked man stepped nearer. Am I drunk? No. This… No. Dreaming? May it be so. “I don’t know.” Ohel whispered. His eyes flashed to the girl,…[Read more]

What’s this? Another victim! Arsene decided to listen in, because he is a spoiled overgrown child who must know everything.

“Who are you?” Awe~ young love. Brandishing the bow, Alessio kept it aimed on the new victim.

Leana jumped a little, making Arsene think she might hit him with the club.

Alessio whispered something to Leana. No fair, how…[Read more]

Leana lowered her stick and backed up to stand beside Alessio, glancing from the newcomer to the others behind them, and back to the newcomer.

Ohel’s eyes widened even more, as he stared at the arrow, nocked toward his head.

“Who are you?” Alessia’s tone was hard, protective.

Leana’s cheeks flushed in shock. She looked down expectantly at the…[Read more]

Wait, Nithel had said Leana was about Alessio’s age, but Nithel was a couple thousand years old before he became human and he didn’t have Alessio’s exact age he’d just been estimating so was Leana actually seventeen or eighteen or was “about your age?” actually like a couple hundred years old because she’d turn out to be some fantastical r…[Read more]

Ohel fell stumbled through the doorway, What? The toe of one sandal getting caught on the threshold, and his arms flailed before he fell on his face. “Oof.”

Leana gave a short squeal and sprang to her feet, swinging her spikey club over her shoulder, ready to swing it down on him. (Though the blanket’s a bit tangled on it.)

Ohel jumped,…[Read more]

Your days of ruling this city are over, my personal supervillain!!!

@nataliecone

So often my ideas come to me in a single glimpse of a single scene. When I sit down to describe the scene, everything else before and after that scene suddenly appears. The more I write it out, the deeper it goes, and more unfolds.

It’s like a true pantser way of doing things. For YEARS I’ve tried to train myself to plot and wri…

🤣🤣 Not knocking you plotters out there! I would do it that way if I could, if my brain only worked that way! My friend has been trying to convince me that This Is The Way (he’s amazing… Not knocking him, either 🤣). I just couldn’t do it.

For longer stuff, I start making plot nots once I get a few thousand words into it. But never before. My…[Read more]

Welp, I feel called out. 🫠

“Who said anything about being half human?” Arsene returned with his usual annoying smile. “As I said before, my father was a woodland elf, who left his country, and my mother was a lone dragon. I have no human heritage.”

Alessio blinked slowly, his eyes getting wider even while he was trying to maintain a neutral expression. Vaguely he remembe…[Read more]
