It took a few days, but the tension between Amarynthe and her father eventually worked itself out. They had their talk – a couple in fact – and though neither was entirely happy with the outcome, they did manage to come to a compromise of sorts. Madeus promised that he wouldn’t attempt any more … Continue reading TMMD Chapter Five: Time Will Tell

TMMD Chapter Four: Secrets Laid Bare
Amarynthe fought with her dress as it clung to her legs in awkward clumps. Her knees pulled at the durable material and it threatened to bunch and tangle at any given moment, only fueling her irritation. But it did not stop her. Not at all. Her path took her away from the tower, away from … Continue reading TMMD Chapter Four: Secrets Laid Bare
TMMD Chapter Three: Ancient’s Dust
Paper whispered beneath her fingertips as Amarynthe turned another page and peered at the finely scrawled words through narrowed eyes. Magelights stationed around the room helped her see better, though if she opened the windows, the sunlight streaming in through the fourth floor would have been sufficient. Unfortunately, sunlight was damaging to the books so … Continue reading TMMD Chapter Three: Ancient’s Dust

Monstrous Monday – Dragons (True Dragons)
Welcome to another Monstrous Monday! Since I didn't get any suggestions or requests for the next beastie, I have defaulted to another one of my all-time favorites: Dragons. You may have noticed 'True Dragons' in the parentheses in the title and this is because the term dragon is an umbrella one. Beneath it, there's a … Continue reading Monstrous Monday – Dragons (True Dragons)
The Mage’s Magicless Daughter – Chapter Two
A Shopping Run and a Birthday Her nose itched and it was a struggle to fight back the sneeze that threatened as Amarynthe picked through the baskets of dried herbs and ingredients in the herbalist’s shop. She could feel Auntie Parkins’s dark, thoughtful eyes on her as she rifled through the selections, taking her time … Continue reading The Mage’s Magicless Daughter – Chapter Two
The Mage’s Magicless Daughter – Chapter One
A Mage, His Daughter, and Two Apprentices Mud squelched under foot while Amarynthe plodded through the marshy ground, eyes peeled for the particular plant she was searching for. The walking stick in her hand helped make sure she didn’t get mired anywhere as the basket over her other arm swung with each labored step. Blowing … Continue reading The Mage’s Magicless Daughter – Chapter One

Finally!
Huzzah! Took me long enough but I finally found a story arc that I want to pursue (again mind you and hopefully this one won't fall apart at the first sign of resistance) and have officially started my word count in NaNoWriMo (weighing in at 2659 at this point in time)! My synopsis and excerpt … Continue reading Finally!
