I spent my Monday consorting with an English major. Through which I learned that I have been marketing my book a bit weird, which I knew of course. I hadn't been able to really pinpoint a genre. Fantasy feels too broad for a book set in a fantasy world, but doesn't conform to the typical hero's...
I’m noticing as I read more mainstream fantasy that authors tend to smack you in the face with proper nouns that mean essentially nothing to you and may never mean anything until book 5.

I've been swamped with both life and school. Physics is kicking my ass atm. So progress has been slow going. But I wanted to share this snippet from a scene that had recently been redesigned. This next week I'm going to be writing like a maniac, so expect more.

I'm a little late. But I can finally share some snips of the most recent draft for "The Bird with Antlers"!
Progress is slow going, but I hope to have this draft finished at the end of the year. Its the last big rewrite I have planned.

How come everyone treats writing as some ancient art that requires an impossible amount of skill? Every time I say I write as a hobby, they look at me like I'm crazy. Just plug away a bit at a time and you'll be fine. Why does everyone think they don't have time?

OK, I promise I'm still alive. Life got a little busy is all and its been hard trying to find both the time and will to write something meaningful down. But I HAVE been doing things. Including a restructure along with some tweaks in character design that I feel fit the story better.

This has been an…interesting month. “The Bird with Antlers” feels further away than it did just a few weeks ago. Maybe that’s not necessarily a bad thing though.
I have no aspirations of being a “writer”. Meaning, I don’t want to become the next King. But it is that…

The issue with having a whole species as the villains means questions like this don't really apply.
Dyr view power as absolute. All there is was the power that you hold over others. Their society is power hungry, eager to show it off whenever possible.

The dyr staged a pretty successful campaign against all other races. Driving them from most of the continent to a small peninsula to the north.
They would have complete victory, if not for Issylfr and her party.

Issylfr would be the type to not see the point in therapy. Only to then see the extent of her underlying grief and guilt of the past.
Reins death would be the issue. But she would definitely need some convincing to go.

I’ve been on a horror movie binge lately so here are my favorites.
Skinamarink is an all-time for me. Currently the main inspiration behind a little WIP that’s just now getting traction.
Nope is amazing as well. A great take on aliens with a lot of social commentary.

I’ve always been terribly interested in the idea of immortality. That specific thought that it’s not that amazing if no one else is immortal.
That and being told I’m “hard to read” or “unemotional”. Perhaps a bit of neurodivergent tendencies.

But things aren’t that simple with humans. Some wish to hold onto power while others simply wish to protect what is theirs.
