The epiphany that strikes like lightning

leads my hand to the page.


The images flow into words

and the story pours onto the page.


A new world forms in my hands

and I will share it with you.

New Tumblr Blog

I'm playing around with a new Tumblr blog and writing some responses to writing prompts.  It's a little different and I'm enjoying working with new ideas.

Feel free to check it out.

I have been playing around with video editing and ideas, and I have a couple photo collections to music posted on my page.  I am figuring out my new camera and choosing a mic in order to expand my skills.  If you have any feedback, feel free to share.  I am always listening.

Work in Progress

Fantasy Setting on World Anvil

I have been working on a fantasy setting using World Anvil's engine and I am pleased with their setup.  I have over 16k words defining my Frigranden setting for role-playing gameplay including locations, gods, and residents.  It's been a lot of fun and I'm working on more.

NaNoWriMo Project

Since this novel shares a setting with my Lexicon Lost serial, I will have to choose the new story's place in the timeline carefully.  How long has it been since the Lexicon crashed into Eydan?  Is there direct contact with the planet or only long range scan and speculation.  I want my readers to see a bigger picture of the setting, but I don't want to give spoilers for the serial still in progress.

Fixed Flight of the Nightingale will definitely be a complete novel before I publish.  I hope the quick start with NaNoWriMo will get me well into the process.  I am used to writing in bursts, inspiration usually hitting me a half hour after I lay down or walk away from the computer.  That is why I am asking myself (and anyone who wants to give some input) questions that need to percolate.

No, actually they are rather fast children.  That's why you drive slow.
