On Wings of Sorrow

I am currently working on "Sovereignty of Radiance."
A short story to provide a glance at the history of Saleera and Solrathis.

I discovered that writing sprints are effective in getting words on paper. #pomofocus
It releases before Winds of Winter, I swear 😅

Had a long beta reading for a manuscript. Enjoyable experience. I wonder how it will turn out!

I am also gaining experience via editorial work on a visual novel. The future has a lot in store!

Thanks for the shoutout! ❤️

Today, I discovered that @brandonsanderson.com has university lectures on writing on his YouTube account. Blessed man. Inspired me to rewrite earlier chapters. Even though sitting down and rewriting something is a struggle.

I have a hard time understanding how people who are pantsers are properly building up to emotional moments. Please enlighten me. I need extensive outlines to write. Thick, girthy outlines.

Happy birthday! 🐲

Meet Aldynn.
Can you belong despite rejection?
Can a dragon born of tyrants become a keeper of peace?
And how do you respond when the only language the world speaks is violence?

A quiet glimmer—for now.
Until it is rekindled—to eclipse even the brightest light.

Meet Azhakor. Still a youngling searching for purpose, in a place that rejects him.

A searing fireball shot from his muzzle. For the first time in her life, her body tensed up in anticipation of danger. She raised her claw, using her energy to summon a shield—protecting her mortal frame. No use. No chance. No hope. The faint glimmer of solrathian willpower shattered into a thousand pieces. She watched the splinters of light evaporating with wide-open eyes—frozen in soulless stillness.

Someone is overshadowed.

Dyrn slowly turned his neck, eyes wide open. "Are you sure it's out here? We didn't find a single trace of it so far. We've been marching for..." "Be quiet and follow the prince's orders," Ahlarik interrupted, gaze still on the path ahead. Dyrn lowered his head, pressed his lips together and — after a short moment, kept walking. Aldynn's eyes narrowed. "Ahlarik? Why did you choose to come here with me?" "...wanted to see what the prince is capable of." No one was here to save the kobolds from harm.

Only one thing is sure. None of them want to save the kobolds.

save the kobolds from harm. Auto-correction: "cuckolds"

What kind of author would I be without #Obsidian ?
Thank you for your service, my trusted companion.

This one is a trap. Don't post your writing on a theme called "junk". 😂

I like the green one a lot!
The purple one bottom right is a close 2nd!

Wow, that's gorgeous

What did you write for? 😁And what's next? Spill the tea 🫖

Sounds nice! Not as much of an improv guy myself. I do enjoy a little bit of composing here and there though. Any plans for what you would like to use that in?

It's fiction, fantasy and anthropomorphised. It can be whatever the heck people want, haha. Get creative, folks!

I feel like it's easier to immerse myself in what I am about to write, if I have related audio playing. Flowing lava and rainy jungles are perfect background noise.

She stumbled. Falling. And then she felt fur around her waist. "Careful." Her gaze snapped to his face. Eyebrows raised. A strong arm indeed. Totally capable of fixing the rope. More proof. And if there were any bugs in that fur? There was time to worry about it. Later. Very brief eye-contact. This guy doesn't look like he ever smashed something. To pieces. TO PIECES. "Ah... thanks..." The first and last thanks he would ever get.

Originally I thought this scene was very hard for me to write, but I found my flow pretty fast - and it was big fun.

This moment when you just wanted to write a novel, and you find yourself writing a novella—no, wait, actually you write for an anthology first. I'm on it, @tfpublishing.bsky.social , I swear I'll get it done in time! 😂

"Power, my son. They all want it, and neither of them should have it. No one." Aldynn's eye twitched. "No one?" It was a genuine question — about what felt like an insult. His father knew him, and yet he said it. Images of his brothers flashed to his mind. A sharp inhale, followed by an averted gaze. "Yes. It is tempting. Destructive. And when you are still young... alluring." Once the most powerful dragon in the world, and now the softest of them all. And yet... that dragon's voice still carried weight. He tilted his head. "How do you propose I shall protect, if I have no power?" Curiosity was etched into his grin. How would his old man respond to that?

Used to be the start of my novel. I changed it and added new scenes. Still like it though!

Very cute indeed!

That's illegally cute

Naw, thank you! Appreciate it a lot! ❤️

"Start killing things," she barked at the general. "No, no, no, what are you all doing?" he said, aimlessly looking around. Very predictable. Thalvorrian defeat. Once again. The other soldiers are running for their life. Some of them are running, and some of them are flying. Ah, shit. Feathers. Guy should have stayed home. Get the legs moving. Don't slip. Ignore the stench. Blood. Iron. Feels like home. Right at home. Keep. Moving. The general was still dancing in circles. That's what it looked like. "Retreat or die, stupid idiot," she yelled. "I won't. I'll never-" and then he opted for dying. Sword right through his chest. Oh, and that's a wolf's claw around his neck. Quick twist - loud crack. Sucks to be a thalvorrian general. Also sucks to die for one. Couldn't be her.

Disclaimer: This one is violent.

You got this. Forethought is a serving suggestion. It's the first draft, not the last! 😂

Even when critique is harsh sometimes, you've got to keep in mind that it's just one voice of many. All you can do is try and understand where you lost them. Doesn't mean it's worthless. One heart and mind you didn't reach. And that's okay. It really is. ❤️

There it was. The confidence she missed. Being close to that wolf was putting her off. In a good way. No. A bad way. Stop it, brain. Stop it. She was walking towards the front of the boat, assessing the situation. You can't decapitate every problem. Would be so much easier if you could. "So what do we do?" "I was hoping YOU had an idea." Well. This was awkward. She wasn't only stuck on the boat with him, but soon after, also on the bottom of the sea. What a dream.

Maybe the bottom of the sea wouldn't be so bad after all?

If it's not too late yet: I wouldn't recommend amber isle. Very buggy. Game-breakingly so. I would wait till they fixed some more stuff. For some players it works perfectly fine, for me multiple quests were just resetting each other making the game unplayable.

It's damn cute tho.
