#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.

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…

Going through the chapters and writing minimal notes on last year’s drafted mystery, I’m pleasantly reminded of one of the best ideas I’ve ever had.

I still believe in the story.

I’m 40% of the way through already, and there are outstanding chapters, but because of needed changes to the plot, some will be gutted or discarded altogether, especially in the second half.

After nine months of hiding my head and not thinking about it, I’m finally going through the novel written last December.

Not only did I scrimp on prep (it shows), but I had Covid while drafting.

The short version? So far, it isn’t as bad as I feared, and some of it is outstanding.

For now, this is a side project, but it is encouraging, and is posing many new ideas.

Be everwell.

He’d found yet another historical link. She used to tease him about his heart living in the past.

She used to do a lot of things.

Next to the arch’s inner south wall, he touched the stone darker than the others. The stone she rested the back of her head against when he kissed her. Her sly smile stole his heart. If he raised his hand, might he touch her cheek…?

Is the creative process one big quest?

I know that when I hike, a part of me is exploring. What’s around the next bend, over the next rise?

Listening to the Beethoven symphonies, I can hear him searching, the evidence being his frantic changes on the sheet music.

It isn’t just another story in my head, it’s me searching, and I don’t even know what I’m searching for.
