It reads: Underneath countless constellations, Hex gazed up at the five moons hanging above. His legs dangled over a makeshift lighthouse, the dim beam swirling beneath only briefly broken by his feet and tail swinging freely. Taking out a small envelope, he opened it, revealing a bronzed coin. Inside, written in red ink, were four simple words: “For my little spark.” Hex’s chest tightened before he stuffed it back into his pocket, eyes on Blackspring glowing in the distance. Flicking his coin into the air, he watched with keen eyes for his tour group to arrive. His old friend Keth waves out from below with an apple in hand. “I’m going to head to the usual spot, okay? Got any requests?” He says with a smirk. Hex shakes his head as he catches the apple Keth just threw up to him. “Don’t do anything too crazy this time. Heard there was an old timer with this group, not to mention a kid. Just… take it easy, alright? Last thing we need is another accident.” Taking a bite, he spits it out and hurls it at Keth, “Ugh-what the hell?! You knew it was rotten!” Keth bursts into laughter while running down the muddy road, waving as he goes. “You should have known better than to trust me!” He screams out before disappearing into the mist. Hex takes a deep breath and looks out at the lake, spotting fog-covered lantern light just on the horizon. Returning to his coin flipping while the boat stopped at the dinghy dock below, he watches closely as the lavish vae step off. Their pointed ears, elegant features, and expensive attire were a stark contrast to the decrepit nature of Lamplight. Their nervous expressions told him all he needed. They were going to be one fun group. Hopping down from the rickety lighthouse with a slam, the visitors gasp and fall back. Hex smirks, tosses his coin one more time before catching it mid-air and sliding it back into his tan shirt pocket. “The name’s Hex, Hex Frati! I’ll be your tour guide this evening! Now, do mind the holes, haven’t had the chance …

Instead of a tiny snippet this time, I thought I’d share the first few paragraphs of my fantasy WIP The City of a Thousand Faces (working title)! This is all from my first draft, so things might change — but it’s one of the more complete sections. Enjoy! 💖💫

One picture is of Patrick as a scientist researching with the caption, plotting out the story and the image on the right is of Patrick sitting on the ground holding a hammer with a board nailed to his head and the caption says, when I actually start writing.

Happens every single time 😂

This is from my WIP The City of a Thousand Faces (working title), it’s from later in book but it’s the only real mention of a fish. 🐟 Still in a first draft so not completely polished yet. ☺️

Completely understand, took me nearly a year before I felt comfortable continuing writing. Hopefully that spark will come back soon! 💖

Hi, I’m Elio! I’m currently working on two WIPs, ones a whimsical fantasy and the other’s a comedy/horror about a paranormal doc crew. My goal this month is to finally revise the first draft of the fantasy novel… only 600 pages to go! 😂

Tried printing my book to make a binder copy today and used up an entire ink cartridge but also broke a brand new hole puncher… and I still only managed to print out half of my draft! Not sure whether to consider that a success or a disaster. 😂

Hi, I'm Elio! Not sure exactly what to say here, but eh, I'll wing it. I'm an author currently working on two books. One is a whimsical fantasy, and the other is about a super-fun paranormal doc crew on their travels. Anyway, this is my little space to share progress, ideas, and just generally vibe.
