In TFS, Ciradår makes what he thinks is a joke, but he's actually insulting everyone around him. So far, nobody who's read the draft has said anything about it. 🤔

I wonder if anyone will ever argue about the merits of the joke on a wiki page one day?

Guy thinks he's funny...

With some help from my super awesome hubby I think I finally figured out how the pieces of the end to TFS fit together!!! Much excite and much relief.

Overnight I let the ideas settle. This is the benefit of sleeping on your work. My brain processed what I outlined and informed me as I woke that I had Tårik figuring out the same thing twice. 🤦🏼‍♀️

While I’ve been mulling over how to finish off #TheFirstSinWIP I’ve done more work with my CSM and have successfully made two pairs of socks that fit! It’s very gratifying, as the machine does have quite a bit of a learning curve to it.

Sometimes it boggles my mind that TFS is over 108,000 words now. There’s still a chunk to come before the end but whew I’ve come so far and done so much! I’m almost double what I had originally written for HOTE! 👀

My day started with sixteen completed chapters on TFS and now is ending with forty. 👀

My favorite line from everything I wrote recently actually comes from my husband who suggested it:

He pulled her close. “If it’s a choice between you and someone else, I choose you. Always.”

#TheFirstSinWIP #AmWritingSFF #AuthorsOfMastodon #SFF #SFFBooks

Up to almost 2100 words on TFS today. Chapter Seven has exploded. And I’ve surpassed 106,600 words on the draft!

Writing something pretty gross right now. Like, pretty gross. The phrase “soggy tearing sound” was used. 🤢

Having fun!

Worked a LOT on TFS today. Added whole new scenes early in the work and pushed to the end of Chapter Sixteen. The draft is now 103,857 words and I’m feeling good about all the material! They say not to edit as you go, but sometimes cleaning things up feels like making the book fresh. I’m actually excited to keep going!

Say the word "karnikur" to a skarastaja and it will strike immediate fear into their heart. The flesh reapers are fearsome predators that roam the surface of Berwen...and the skarastaja are their prey of choice.

This is the last day of #languary! Thank you all for accompanying me on this journey through the årdrakin and skarastaja languages. ♥
