  1. #WorldOfOntyre 20

    Gratitude and satisfaction, two extraordinary motivators.

    Yesterday, I went on an 8.7 mile hike, gaining +1,700 feet of altitude. At the moment I topped the ridge, I encountered an unexpected and gorgeous view. Gratitude.

    I finished that hike, returned home, and finished editing a short chapter. Satisfaction.

    Such days sustain me, providing motivation and milestones.

    Be everwell.

    Even when young, I was an old soul. Was it growing up too fast, while also not growing up at all? Hard to say.

    Unlike my much older siblings, I grew-up with Star Trek, and loved it, yet a part of me adored old films, which were readily available.

    The result is, to me, classic tales with contemporary subject matter. It sounds like an odd mix, I suppose, but I love them.

    Be everwell.

    A push on the heavy door and the dripping, stinking passage fell behind.
    Within, a fire crackled, dry, warm air caressing her skin. Books alone embellished the walls. A basement library. How uncommon. Comfortable chairs confronted one another, a wine decanter on the table between.
    To the left, the enormous desk suited a large mind.

    Kovenlore Chronicles, A River in Each Hand

    An idea is like wolf lichen.

    You have one, leading to another, and another, but at some point that’s sooner rather than later, it ceases to be linear.

    Ideas branch and spread, and one of the best things you can do is get the heck out of the way. Let them go, let them thrive.

    In no time at all, if you nurture the environment, what you have is beyond what you dreamed possible.

    Be everwell.

    Give an idea a day and things start to happen…

    I noted an idea came to me yesterday to delve deeper into a Pannulus myth that might be true.

    Well, there an entirely different legend that I realized on my walk yesterday dovetails with the first.

    Unfortunately, that leaves me with a powerful secret, but no idea how it would work in the story. Not yet, but eventually.

    Be everwell.

    I was slapped. With an idea. An awful, wonderful idea, yet still don’t know what it means or how it’ll manifest.

    Yet, there it is.

    It actually sprouted from a 2015 short story where its suggested that a myth is true. It pops up a couple of times in other stories, but I’ve never explored it more than that.

    Might this new story under development be the time? It’s possible.

    Locations are mentioned in a prompt today, and that applies to me.

    As I slowly develop a new Pannulus Mystery while editing a Kovenlore novel, I’ve graduated to addressing the primary location (I have the opening one).

    I think I know the where, but now must come the details: culture, people, sights, etc.. It’s the backdrop “character” that supports all others.

    I’ll admit that my covers aren’t spectacular, though they do have catchy elements.

    Oddly, the one element that was unintentional is how the eyes (Riparia’s eyes) in the title trick the viewer. At least, they do me.

    If I focus on them, my eyes attempt to create a face out of the map background. After making a mock first cover, I knew I had to keep the feature.

    From Book-5 of the Kovenlore Chronicles:

    A shadow detached from the wall. Wizards were strange by nature, but Magnester was stranger than most. Long, curly gray hair. Mustache drooping to his chest. Rumpled dark suit and robe. He had a knack for moving about Grandle and avoiding royal scrutiny.

    He also had a mysterious connection to Mother.

    discrimination

    This topic simmers on the edge of boiling for 4 books, but in Kovenlore Book-5 it boils over and explores the toll it takes.

    The fear, hatred, psychological torment, and unwarranted self-condemnation (and/or denial). It examines love, but also love denied, and the cruelty of those who’d take advantage.

    That all in place, it sets these characters on a raft trying to reach home.

    There are numerous steps taken for each chapter in a targeted edit, some more general, others specific.

    Regardless, there comes that moment when there’s a little twist in my middle. That’s the point when I realize that, yes, the chapter has taken that crucial step and will come together.

    Oh how rewarding that is, another miniature milestone to serve as motivation.
