First Draft Done!

     It's always a mix of emotions when I finish a first draft. Sad because I have a problem ending/finishing things. Excitement because it's one step closer to being finished and out for others to enjoy. Exhaustion because now I need to start all over again. haha. But no really, that last one sucks. Anyway time to reward myself with some ice cream and relaxing before starting up again tomorrow.

The City of Kananthum

With tall white buildings and a wealthy economy, Kananthum, is the hub of the east. Not to far from the ports just east and a major trading market as well. You can find pubs, inns, an entire red light distract, as well as the Kings castle. This is also where the defenders of the city are. Not only the Kings guard, but the Paladins of Eos, God of light and justice.

Sounds like a great city, but as we all know, you can't always judge a book by it's cover.

Coming soon: A Paladins Life for Me (title subject to change)

Things I have been working on

Hey everyone, long time no post (don't take it personal it's a bad habit of mine) but overall I just wanted to drop in an update. I have been working on really fleshing out some new characters for a fantasy novel I am working on. It's still pretty gay, but not quite an erotica. So no worries there. Otherwise I did pick up a new normal people job to help with income so that means less productivity on writing. It makes me sad, but in the end bills must be paid. I have one character short that is about halfway done (who doesn't love back stories?) and once it is I'll be sure to share some with you.

Coffee Cat

This cat runs off coffee! Sadly I continue to forget that I have a blog, and that it doesn't just automatically update with my train of thoughts. But that would also kinda be bad for you guys.

Anyway, some good news, Lesson Learned lesson 3 is actually under the top 1,000 in it's category. So that has me pretty happy. Also sadly July started my busy season. It's con time. We have 3 between the 1st of july and the end of this month. One of those we have a table at and will be selling. So I'm swamped. However! I am determined to keep on writing and I have at least 1 or 2 more shorts that will be coming out this year. One is a collection of Lesson Learned (with bonus!) and the second is a short prelude to my upcoming fantasy novel.

I'll keep you posted! ~Skadia, the coffee cat.
