#WorldOfOntyre 03

What is real? That’s sure a relevant topic these days. Is that why it surfaced in the novel I drafted last December?

My protagonist’s life is turned upside down by the most bizarre happenings until she questions reality much of the time.

Every time I encounter the predatory lie that is AI, I can identify with what she’s going through.

It’s time to rebuild our reality.

Be everwell.

#WorldOfOntyre 02

I finished reviewing the draft from last December, the disaster that isn’t really a disaster.

Of the 65 chapters, only 10 will be cut entirely or mostly cut, and most of those were in the first half of the novel when I was really sick.

Then there are the missing chapters because I streamlined the story thanks to suffering from Covid. I’m shocked that I have what I do.

Be everwell.

#WorldOfOntyre 01

The things I overlook sharing…

I’ve written a handful of sapphic stories, and Novella-2 that’ll accompany Kovenlore Book-6 is one of them. It’s strongly linked to the series, but not by existing characters.

It’s a story of a city occupied by sorcerers, hatred, and two young women who unexpectedly discover love. There’s a gargoyle, and terrifying creatures in the tunnels.

Be everwell.

#WorldOfOntyre 30

I’ve endured a chaotic few days, my life turned upside down, but I’ve come out the other side, AND managed to keep up with the edit of Kovenlore Novella-2.

I did have to pause on my Pannulus Mystery novel review, but there was no rush on that.

It required other sacrifices, too, but that was okay. Thing is, I’m exhausted now, but overjoyed, and proud, that I triumphed.

Be everwell.

Why do we doubt? Why, when faced with a task similar to those we’ve overcome before, do we become apprehensive?

Too often, I do.

I’m not happy about it, but I am pleased that, legs shaking or not, I face it, and then am reminded that I know what I’m doing.

WE know what we’re doing. Believe in yourselves, individually and collectively. Stand up. Overcome your fears. Achieve.

Be everwell.

#PhantastikPrompts 28 pt2
secondary character plot lines

Here’s my classic (as in, already published) example, a favorite from Kovenlore Book-3, Exhuming Truths.

Nattie Rantassle is only in one chapter, but we learn a lot about her because she might have information Maniff needs in his research.

Thing is, her information leads him down the wrong path, but that actually interests him more, a frequent problem in the story.

The Book-6 edit complete, I went straight into Kovenlore Novella-2 and finished a chapter. I’m clinging to my schedule by my fingernails.

I’m riding the boost of finishing the novel and launching into a much different, and far shorter, story with different characters. A lot of it occurs in tunnels where terrifying creatures lurk, but also surprises.

And a romance, of course.

Be everwell.

I finished the targeted edit on Book-6 of the Kovenlore Chronicles yesterday, so now it’s on to its accompanying novella, which will take a couple of weeks.

Too, I continue reviewing the mystery drafted last December while enduring Covid. It’s become a pleasant surprise.

#WorldOfOntyre 26

While reviewing my Dec draft, a chapter brought to mind the book’s initial inspiration in 2025.

While waiting at a traffic light, music was coming from the pickup beside me that was odd, like a scratchy, distant voice singing. It was eerie.

An instant later, a scene came to mind that mushroomed. An abandoned carnival where a 78 RPM record plays over and over again…

Be everwell.
