The Endless Dance
Once the Sun, arrogant in his tyranny, has set; the Moon calls out her stars. A play, a dance, endless delight as they travel across the night. Among the planets and galaxies, a ballet performance for worlds to see. Across the globe they play and prance, their view of the world beneath their feet, beautiful in darkness--a delight in light. And when the Sun rises again ruling with his steadfast grip; does the Moon once more call her stars, to safety from his sight.https://ceriashwardauthor.wordpress.com/2026/08/28/the-endless-dance/

I finished my Summer Reading Bingo Card…
With probably the best final book. A Land Apart From Time (Dinotopia #01). They never said all the books for the adult bingo card had to be written for adults. Plus an additional 12 books read. I turn everything in on Saturday. Let's hope for some good finds at the library's book sale.https://ceriashwardauthor.wordpress.com/2026/08/20/i-finished-my-summer-reading-bingo-card/

It’s been a few days…
And I've needed those days to recover. Between bloodwork last Thursday and scheduled in for X-rays tomorrow as well as getting five appointments for myself, one for my youngest, and one for the both of us scheduled--you could say I'm a bit overworked. Not only getting everything scheduled, but getting transportation scheduled for these appointments. It can be tiring. And because it can be tiring, I haven't had much time to be creative over the last few days leading up to a mild fever […]https://ceriashwardauthor.wordpress.com/2026/08/19/its-been-a-few-days/

Now, it may be a hometown favorite I only get when going back…
But let me introduce you to the "Pitts-burger and Cheese." Tomatoes optional, fries and slaw required. And a bun? No friends, full bread. A Primanti Bros classic, and one of my favorite meals when I can get one. (Runner up? Potato Patch fries with cheese at Kennywood Park!) -

Hobbies outside of Writing?
Why yes, I have some of those. In fact, one of them is gaming. Tabletop RPGs, board games, video games, trading card games. You name it, I've probably at least dabbled. I mean, I used to collect Baseball, Football (why? I don't even like the sport!), Basketball (same as Football), and Hockey cards. Plus I inherited some weird collections (Desert Storm and some weird 80s/90s music ones). But of all the games I love to play, it's Pokemon that holds my heart the most. And I'm a big fan of the […]https://ceriashwardauthor.wordpress.com/2026/08/08/hobbies-outside-of-writing/

Gallery Dump: Cityscape Character Design
Madison Winters Madison Winters Madison Winters Mike Smith Nancy Smith Richmont Johnson I figured today would be a good day to share some of the 3d rendered character design I'm using to help me visualize the characters. Most of these are of Maddie, mainly because she's the focus character of the first book. I do have other characters to finalize, but I'm not happy with what I've set up for them yet. Also, Nancy's shoes get replaced. Those sandals are actually heels and not practical […]https://ceriashwardauthor.wordpress.com/2026/08/07/gallery-dump-cityscape-character-design/

I attended a Creative Writing Group
And I plan to go back. It was lovely sitting in a group of others who like writing, especially with a focus on prompts and flexing their creative skills. So of course, me being me with my ingredients took two prompts and wrote a drabble, just to stay true to form. Photo by Michelle McEwen on Unsplash Purple like the coming storm mirrored in puddles of still water, reflecting obsidian and starlight. Meanwhile, the dark moon sleeps and waits. The clouds gathered, rolling thunder in the […]https://ceriashwardauthor.wordpress.com/2026/08/06/i-attended-a-creative-writing-group/

What if magic builds itself?
I find myself revisiting some of my bad habits from my fan-fiction writing days. I'm letting the characters and the world shape what is being written. I don't necessarily think it's wrong, but it can lead to meandering stories with no real ending. If I can't get some of this writing back on track, book one will never end.But letting some of this intuitive character writing lead to larger world building questions and then finding the answer by building those answers out. And to be honest, some […]https://ceriashwardauthor.wordpress.com/2026/08/03/what-if-magic-builds-itself/

I’ve started the Herbarium
My world is expanding, and with that expansion I need to focus for a week on native flora. Plants that would fit in explicitly in this fantasy world, but would have an analog to plants known on our own Earth, Terra (as I prefer Terra over Tellus). While designing these native plants, I may also have to create some more fauna to balance them out. For example; while creating more in-depth information on the "dawnberry" bush, I may have needed to find pollinators for the flowers. So... I […]https://ceriashwardauthor.wordpress.com/2026/08/02/ive-started-the-herbarium/

When Summoning Rituals go Wrong
You have to figure out how to make them go right. Over the last few days I've been building out the heritages, cultures, and magic system for the world I have been building for the better part of two years. I've settled on how the incident happened, but I need a reason for this one specific instance to have been performed wrong. And, well, to figure that out; I have to design the original "proper" form. Time to mix some fun aspects shown in media directly linked to historical rituals from […]https://ceriashwardauthor.wordpress.com/2026/07/22/when-summoning-rituals-go-wrong/

Sharing some behind the scenes, with a little note.
As you can see from that screenshot; chapter five of Cityscape Chronicles is on hold while I work on world building. I'm not just designing a bestiary, I'm redesigning common fantasy races and working with endonyms and exonyms for the heritages. Like with the updated fifth edition of Dungeons & Dragons, we're seeing language changes happening in the fantasy space. And while my characters may use the outdated terminology before becoming more accustomed to the world, they will rapidly […] -

Bestiary Progress
Other than the basic mundane creatures; the bestiary is up to two lesser cats, a snake, a rat, and I'm working through a canine. Being able to work on what animals and such I want characters to encounter is making it easier to figure out what all regions I want to include in the world. It's also giving me time to figure out where those regions are in relation to magical sites and other areas. Also, I've been working on these while it has been more hazardous for me to be outside. We've seen […]https://ceriashwardauthor.wordpress.com/2026/07/18/bestiary-progress/

Building a Bestiary
So far, one of the world building tasks I've been focusing on is building out the more fantastical and magical creatures that my cast of characters will encounter. I'm focusing on the felines first, then canids, avians, and so on and so forth.
