Captain Sarcastic

hope you’re doing well. ♥️ i swing by every so often to see if you’ve popped in on wattpad, just wanted to drop a line this time and say i’m wishing you all the best, and hope to see you online again soon :) 

Hey :) sorry for the message, but I saw some comments of yours and think that you might really like my friend’s stories. He’s a new author on Wattpad and he already has a few things published on here. He writes a lot of fantasy, cosmichorrorr, medieval stuff. If you’d like we’d really love if you checked his stuff out. https://www.wattpad.com/user/JustinSparkman4?utm_source=ios&utm_medium=link&utm_content=share_profile&wp_page=user_details&wp_uname=aryaesa

The Caithsee leader did not raise her voice.
          
          She did not brandish a weapon or a chair.
          
          The only weapon she needed was her voice.
          
          Stepping away from the safety of the wall, the leader of the Perishers kicked the dust off her boots, the front partially open as if a threat to any of her clawed brethren. Her sharp eyes scanned the room in a second, her tall, willowy frame hidden by the void created by her dark fur concealing the long, circular like blades on her back.
          
          “Let us not waste anymore time with this…prophecy. We know the stakes. We do not need to tread over old ground…as it were. Lady Anirri needs time to rest. I suggest we grant her that time by moving on.” 
          
          ...........
          
          Welp that took a lot longer to sort out than I thought. Hiatus aside, irl medical stuff plus a tad bit of writer's block sends me down a plot bunny as usual. Regardless, NaNo is coming up and I'll be doing my usual plan of joining 'in spirit' to up my writing goals. Dunno whether that'll actually happen but at least this chapter isn't hainting my to do list anymore.
          
          Enjoy!

With every breath Hawkins muscles relaxed a little more, the nicks and bruises he had collectively gathered over the last few hours sealed over with the heat of his Fire Trait. He glanced over at the group and then towards the strange, burning Triad weaving its way through the Mound and settled on Cull’s lap, the weight of his fatigue was far less than he had initially thought. Until his eyes met Odi’s and finally he understood.
          
          Cull’s Trait wasn’t powered by anger. It was empathy. 
          
          A protective ember that burrowed itself deep within the ground, barely noticeable like a crackling campfire in a maelstrom or a single candle in an expansive darkness. It had been mistaken for a raging inferno, a stifling desert Caldorian wind, a dangerous thing to avoid just as his own flame had been. 
          
          But much like Hawkins’ own Trait, his latent ability to heal along with his self worth restricting everything…he regretted ever placing the once brutish Enforcer in the same box. Like constantly holding a burning torch with his bare hands Cull felt so much, so often that everything felt…frustratingly angry all the time. Cull's anger didn’t feel so…bad. It just felt…like a lot for one person.

          Gahhh! SO glad to get this one out. I did update AotF in May so I'm still keeping to monthly updates but this chapter was SO draining I'm just glad I can move on with it. Can't promise more updates for AotF as much as I enjoyed my time with it but motivation is always fun times so...we'll see. 
          
          Enjoy!

Chucking this extra long chapter break thing that I wish had been done last week but chronic pain for two weeks into a three day migraine tends to delay things a LOT. Three days left. Imma aim to at least hit the 20k goal. Round 3 be damned.
          
          Enjoy!

Welp. There are only 10 DAYS left before the end of the ONC and I've got a good 6k left to wrap up before the 20k mark. This time last year I wrote 10k in a week so (hopefully) it won't be the same this year. Endings are paramount especially in murder mysteries. 
          
          As an additional note, THANK YOU to everyone who's been reading NR on the sly (I do see those votes) since we've officially hit 90k which is astounding. Hopefully I won't get as much burnout this time around to keep working on those montly updates.
          
          Enjoy!

A quick update to the ONC project before Round 2 gets announced. Wanted to get this out before my mum's anniversary in a few days. We're still trucking along.
          
          Enjoy!

A minor update more for myself than anything else but look. Oooh. Sticker. What's that doing there?
          
          Incredibly, I woke up this morning (afternoon) to find AOTF had won an Ambassador's Pick for Round 1! Isn't it pretty!
          
          Jokes aside, I'm completely floored by the response after arriving just back from holiday sick with a cold. But this does certainly put some motivation to get back to reaching Round 2. Just let me get through this cold first.
          
          Enjoy!

Phew! What a day. We love a good flare up on a deadline forcing me to write. Regardless, its up and running. I won't go through the usual ONC speech but here's a summary:
          
          The bartender of life and death WAS once a kind ear but needs to resolve a murder between her human(ish) mages who turn to ash when they die and the seemingly immortal elves. Despite her reluctance, others hopes she will find her kindess in the hardest of times.
          
          It's a Knives Out esque murder mystery with a fun fantasy mechanic thrown in and if you know NR as much as I do it'll be a fun ride. I'm away on holidays when Round 1 results are out so do forgive me if I'm late to the party, I'll have WiFi but I can't promise I'll have arms by the end of it. :L
          
          Enjoy!

          P.S. Sorry the cover sucks.
