No fanfare today. Just a post letting other disabled writers know that I see you. I know how hard it is. Don't give up on writing the story only can.

Say less! I grew up reading Wheel of Time...what is all of this <90k craziness I am seeing everywhere?

Where are the days when my backpack had 3 fantasy books in it and could be used as an improvised weapon because of the bricks in it??

Three fearsome gods. One little fallen star. A love fierce enough to set the Nine Rivers trembling.

Breaking natural law and divine will was never destiny.
It was a CHOICE.

Follow me to a myth that transcends time. It's coming. #BreathofStarlight

Follow me to the myth...with a Breath of Starlight.

Could you please share how you gave this a moving background? It's beautiful!

Sam, could you please share if you used a beta reading service? I am searching...

I think researching all of that is going to keep me sane while I query lol That and writing the next installment xD

I know there are many situations and types of contracts. I aim to be very selective and careful. Self-publishing is always my go-to if I can't find a good solution.

I would genuinely be interested in speaking to you about this! I'm querying now. Traditional publishing was always the path I saw for myself. Would love to see the other side of the coin, so to speak, from someone that has experience.

But...what about the marketing and sales support trad offers? And foreign rights reach?

I just run with it. Somehow, it all makes sense in my head. Then when I try to use structure or stuff like Plottr, I just get confused LOL Although I have figured out Plottr and I highly recommend it

Thereafter, all that grew there was white. It held all light. A cradle in time.

For the small. The unseen. The unheard.

And so was born Ilmirién.

Follow me to the Everlight...

They call you a burden. Too big, they say. Too much. But once you were the wall standing between us and the flood. The hope for those tilling the land and basking in sunlight.

Now, you are truth. The story. And I will remember it.

And when all faded into silence, the darkness parted to reveal starlight.

Silver. Undaunted.

Follow me to hope, even in the darkest hour.

A snippet from something I am working on for contest work ^_^

A push of fate. Of destiny.

They say he carries madness. But when I look at him, all I see is a man, lost--to duty, to darkness, to despair.

Follow me, and find the man behind the myth.

The temple waits. For the right time, the right hand, the right moment.

For HIM.

Follow me to the myth that will bring starlight into a world of darkness...
