Welcome to Naomi's fictional fantastical adventures and more!
Welcome to another Wordy Wednesday. I came across this topic a few days ago and decided it would make a nice discussion point for today. Commas! The semi-bane of my existence. That being said, the author / blogger who I am borrowing tidbits from can be found in the links below. She gives a better … Continue reading WW – The Comma
Welcome to another (late) Wordy Wednesday. Thank you for joining me. haha So, following my thought process from last week, we want to explore animals a bit more by breaking them down into the general categories. So today we'll be focusing on mammals. Of course all mammals don't look the same but they do often … Continue reading WW – Describing Mammals
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
So, today isn't going to be a particularly lengthy or focused entry, but... considering it's the one month anniversary since I started to get this blog back off the ground again (or on it's feet - whichever you prefer), and it's my birthday, I figured I'd at least say I hope that everyone has a … Continue reading Creativity and Other Stuff
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)

Creating new races or species. Now, if you're writing traditional fantasy or even supernatural, there are a … Continue reading World Building – Coming Up with New Races / Species

Narrated by Naomi Welcome to another Wordy Wednesday. Today we're going to take a look at the difference between similes and metaphors, as well as different examples, and maybe try to make our own. 😉 So let's take a look at what they are. In short, a simile is a figure of speech that compares … Continue reading WW – Similes and Metaphors
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
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
