Welcome to Naomi's fictional fantastical adventures and more!
And we're back for another Monstrous Monday! I'm on a role! As promised, today we're going to be taking a look at the cockatrice, a creature that is as deadly and evil as the basilisk we took a look at last week. For the sake of separating these two critters, I will be doing a … Continue reading MM – Cockatrice
Ah yes. The tried and true monster of the night. Vampires. I'm sure we all know the basics and while I could find resources and go on at length about them, I wanted to take a look at a few of the common traits and then how you can sort of play with them. Personally … Continue reading Vampires
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
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
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
Narrated by Naomi Welcome to the first post of Monstrous Monday, so named because I'll be taking a look at different creatures that are considered 'other than human.' I know the unicorn doesn't typically fit the general idea of monstrous, but in some places, it is considered a monster. Most notably, in Dungeons and Dragons … Continue reading Monstrous Monday – Unicorn
This is another oneshot I'm migrating here that was submitted to Glimmer Train a little while ago. It started as a fluffy fanfiction piece but I touched it up and made some much needed changes the second time around. It didn't go anywhere with Glimmer Train but I'm still satisfied with it. It's now more … Continue reading A Serendipitous Cancellation
Until I have more new content to post, I'll be migrating pieces of writing and such that I would like to share. Feel free to check them out at your leisure if you're so inclined. You'll also be able to find them under the various dropdown links and pages if they get pushed out of … Continue reading Celestial Descendants – Lengthy Short
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!
At last, our heroes must leave the comfort of Moorhall for further dangers unknown. Better prepared this time, the beginning of the trek is almost enjoyable save for the knowledge they know enemy patrols are nearby. However, the adventurers are blissfully ignorant of a greater danger that now stalks them... ~~~~~~~~~~ It was … Continue reading The Loss of Order: Post #14
Master story structure and write a book readers will love.
It would be a disaster to not give me a read!
