Writer, not yet author…
There are many of these but a few are quite spoilery - I like this one - it is not overly dramatic - quietly reflective

Longer one today - couldn’t cut it without losing impact and context of Alistair being the worst!

Feeling the pain - the arrows have a lot of heavy lifting to do!

Hope it is going well 😄

Another longer one today - Alistair arrives in Tymor - a city of fallen grandeur but with still enough presence to awe the likes of him…

Couldn’t cut this down to size - coughing apparently doesn’t feature that much so far…

The echo of memories in a world born from brutality - even the civilised cannot escape being shaped by the past

The word over is in there - just need to look for it! 😄

A small snippet from the Hunters party - early enough in so that Alistair actually remembers it

Another larger snippet - not as many wolves in the novel as I would like but wolfing works I guess!

Normally don’t do screenshots - but I couldn’t cut anything from this - one of my favourite snippets

Had to take an enforced break from writing for a month or so - turns out newborns take up a fair amount of time! But finally getting into the swing of it again - I have missed this! #writingcommunity #WIP

Gardens a mess, surrounded by scaffolding but nothing more joyful than sitting outside with a hot tea, a good book and the sound of birdsong all around you.

Spring is on its way!

It’s like you are creating these for me! 😉

Will post later!

3. The Government building of Caersenedd found in the city of Tymor - it is envied by Kings and Emperors alike

Wasn’t planning on doing this but some interesting questions so I will give it a go…

Couple to catch up on!

I would be disappointed if I didn't have a scene ready for this one! Need to be careful I don't publish my entire work through @halfbakedprompts.bsky.social!

This is a good one - didn't know the word was in Alistair's diaries but it is!

I really like the blurring of the lines between nature and manmade structures as we see start to see a little more of what is left of the world beyond Alistair 's sheltered valley.

The chapter that this extract is from was born from reading ‘The House of Fortune’ by Jesse Burton - what I love about her novels is the way in which the plot is driven by characters emotional reaction rather than the events themselves - so I let Alistair’s emotions lead him…

Alistair and Jessica on route to Tymor. A lot of the early part of the book focuses on the reclamation of nature in Alistair’s world and this is a good example

This extract is early in Alistair’s time in the city of Tymor - since arriving he has had the protection of others, little time to think but now he is alone and the emotional weight of all that he has done hits him hard.

Bit of a longer one today - Alistair is hot on the heals of Jessica - leaving his old life behind - or at least he would be if the magpie would give him a moment to think! (Don’t think magpies chirp exactly but you know…)
