Thank God For Mother Nature!

“Life is pain, highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.” ~William Goldman, The Princess Bride. Lately, I have been having trouble with my shoulder, collar bone and hips, painful troubles, I guess more in the muscle area than the bone. I mean the other day I reached to scratch my back and it felt like I shredded every muscle in my shoulder. The doctor gave me some pain pills, but I hate taking them. They make me feel all loopy and give me headaches. I know I am not the only person in the world with this problem, I mean some people don’t take them because of addiction issues in the past, some people are al

Blood of Kings, ch 1 (RD)

It was well known that the roads between Blue Gate and The Small Forrest were dangerous. The roads between Small Forest and anywhere were dangerous. All of them filled with thieves and highway men, murderers and all kinds of criminals. Yet Leoni, Fulk and Neela had no other choice. Their clan lived in the Small Forrest. Leoni had a talent for sneaking past the outlaws, but she had always been alone when she did it. Now it was different, Fulk was growing older, slower. Neela, her older sister, had not taken the same path as Leoni, she had taken the path of a bard, she sang and danced. She did not fight, or sneak. Leoni hated thinking of her f

Blood of Kings, Prologue (RD)

Leoni dismounted from Rivan’s saddle and sauntered to the circle of grey stones. Seven of them stood tall in a circular form, each with Rune’s cast into them. The Runes were even too old for Leoni to read, from the dead language. She wondered if Neela would be able to make them out. Neela had always had a talent with Runes. Inside the circle three other woman waited. One was an elderly woman with long black hair and fading silvery amber eyes. The woman was over ten times Leoni’s age. She was the Crone, the High- Priestess of the Wayward God. She had a dozen other titles, all of them well earned, Leoni knew this, but she

The Misadventures on The Back of A Horse

I am finally finished with my day. All I can think of is to escape to the barn and see my horses and my 4-H friends so we can go for a ride in the late light of a Haines summer night. Not even taking time to change from my baggy yellow sweater, I race out the road to the stable, not just to get going, but to make sure I don’t have employ my nemesis, my scourge. I always end up letting my one of the girls use my saddle, I had scrapped and saved for three years of baby sitting, house sitting, horse sitting and dog sitting to earn the six hundred and eleven dollars it ended up costing for the saddle, bridal and new stirrups, it was mostly

Analysis of ‘Game of Thrones, by George RR Martin’ (AKA A song of Fire and Ice) In my reading, I have discovered that ‘Game of Thrones’ is a lot like a TV High school, you have your teachers, Septs and Maestors. Then there are the Jocks, obviously the knights, the prancing peacock they are. You have your D&D people, the ones at the wall, fighting snarks and such. There are even cheerleaders (Sansa Stark), overly confident freshmen (Joff Lannister) and the loners (Arya and even Jon falls beneath this category, as well as D&D players). The houses are the different schools, Lannister Lions, Stark Direwolves and so on an

The Wordsmith by non0sequiter, literature

Literature

The Wordsmith

The Wordsmith The Wordsmith sits in a dusty and dimly lit room, hunched over his workbench. He mutters occasionally to himself, gesturing sharply with a quill pen. Spots of ink blot the parchment page in front of him in nearly the same way they cover the sleeves of his formerly white shirt. Once, he rubs his long fingers over the bridge of his nose, leaving a smudge there as well. He does not notice. He can feel the story waiting; he senses the shape and weight of it just beneath his fingertips. And yet somehow, he is unable to coax it into existence. Where to start, where to start? For the first time in a very long while, he is at a loss.

The Silver Throne: Chapter 1

Save The Queen Dragons are the very epitome of evil. These ungodly serpents have proven to be nothing more than the harbingers of doom and misery upon mankind. Some of these spawns of Satan might try and deceive you with smooth words and miracles into thinking they are our friends and have no intention to harm us. Walk by faith and not by sight, for the unclean serpents will only try to lull us into a false sense of security and make us all their prey when our guard is down. The Chinese and other people might tell you a different story, that the appearance of these dragons all over the world is a sign of good fortune and that they will guard

Violence

0 min read

Over the past few weeks, I have noticed that the number of art works inspired by the Red Wedding have increased rather dramatically. I must say… I am sick of it. I believe it was possible the… second most heartbreaking moment of the book, following Eddard Stark's death. However it has helped me make a very important decision every- well let's just call me a writer- Every writer should make about a story. I shall NEVER write about something so incredibly terrible in my book. I think it to be unfair to the reader to do something like that. So while there will be some heartbreaking moments, deaths, revenge- all the juicy stuff that truly makes

Struggling...

0 min read

As I have begun to plan out monarchs and kingdoms within the story, I have run across trouble. Each Kingdom has a symbol (Sort of a sigil, but for the whole kingdom, not separate families.) One is a horse, stemming from the won freedom from another country (It will all be explained in the story one way or another) Chosen because Celtic's belived the horse a symbol of freedom, a belief I have always agreed with... The other's is a Griffon… they are the largest kingdom, think of them like Rome (You know, that nasty, greedy era they went through…) Chosen because they are huge, powerful fierce animals, (Also mythical...) The last is the one I

Too much?

0 min read

In writing notes and planning scenes, I have found that I speak from the POV of many characters, while they are not the most important characters in the book, I worry. So far, I have nine character POVs(But one only has 1 part, so I guess it is more like eight), and I am not even done! I am writing it much like George RR Martin does with one POV per chapter. However, I remember trying to read Martin's books and finding them a little hard to follow with all of his characters! There were just too many moving parts! Should I worry about that? In my book, all the characters are after the same cause (Save those villains!), nobody is going off and
