Today I added 2006 words to Seek the Oasis, bringing my current total to 27,028!
“I am Aysel, daughter of the Niraj tribe,” she hissed, heels digging into the sand. “I have not died yet, and I will not die here.”
The harilai-nak burst from the sand, mouth wide and ready to devour. Aysel swung wide with her shield, ...
2021-11-18 03:03:48 +0000 UTC View PostWhile I did not write on Sunday, today I added 2713 words. This brings my total word count to just over 25,000 (25,022, to be exact)!
The sun was only just beginning to rise over the horizon, the stars still dancing at the lavender edge of day. Aysel paid the pale morning light, and the deep cold that came just before the sun sh...

“Aysel?”
She turned, seeing Malai staring up at her with big, innocent eyes. Her heart twinged with guilt.
“Are you okay?” he asked.
Aysel forced a smile, hoping it looked natural enough. “I’m alright. Just t...
2021-11-15 03:12:42 +0000 UTC View PostOver the past two days I added 3002 words to "Seek the Oasis", bringing my total word count to 20,036!
"We…we gave ourselves names," Bricklin said, scratching his head. "But…"
"They weren't our real names," Palm Tree said. "I'm sure of it."
"No," Leonidas agreed. "I'm sure they weren't."
"Well, we should co...

Aysel shot him a thankful look. As he left, Kinri came to sit beside Aysel, gathering Sherlock and Jasmine into her arms with Duney. The merfolk watched him over her shoulder until he ducked back into the cave.
She turned to Aysel, whispering,...
2021-11-11 03:19:58 +0000 UTC View PostToday I added 1749 words to Seek the Oasis, bringing my total word count to 16,010!
Aysel stood over the witch’s body, hands still wrapped tightly around the shaft of her spear. Heart pounding, limbs numb and heavy, it was all she could do to breathe. Dimly, she heard the clanging of heavy metal falling to the stony floor. She...
2021-11-10 03:32:33 +0000 UTC View PostToday I added 1699 words to Seek the Oasis, bringing the total word count to 14,261!
Setting her spear to the side, she wrapped both hands around the bars. She braced herself and pulled, muscles straining and joints popping as she exerted all her strength upon the metal bars. Nothing. No movement at all.
“Of course, they...

“You know, I’ve never met a Sa’a.”
Aysel glanced over her shoulder, though all she really saw was the top of Kinri’s head. She sat sidesaddle behind Aysel on Sonnak’s back, her arms wrapped tightly about Aysel’s torso. Her skin was cold against Ays...
2021-11-08 02:22:29 +0000 UTC View PostToday I added 1359 words to Seek the Oasis, bringing the total to 10,478!
Her attention was pulled from the sky above at the sound of approaching strangers. Spotting a small caravan coming the opposite way, Aysel urged Sonnak up onto the grassy lip on the side of the road. She did not want to appear confrontational by getting in...
2021-11-06 01:53:36 +0000 UTC View PostToday I added 2397 words to Seek the Oasis, bringing the total to 9122!
A wolf. Human stories that made their way into the tribes described them as fearless hunters, but also evil deceivers. Aysel remembered one story of a wolf that disguised Itself as a young girl's grandmother in order to eat her. Though, the creature before h...
2021-11-05 02:01:06 +0000 UTC View PostYesterday I added 1715 words to Seek the Oasis, bringing the total to 6743!
Aysel spotted the top of the gate before she saw the rest of It -- great beams of wood and metal that bored into the mountain sides. Gripping Sonnak's reins even tighter as she approached, Aysel couldn't help but feel some kind of awe as more and more of...

The air stilled, but no sound caught Aysel's ear. She frowned, standing in her stirrups to scout the nearby sands. Nothing. Frowning, she spurred Sonnak onwards.
"Just a little longer, friend," she assured him when he made a noise of prote...
2021-11-03 00:38:26 +0000 UTC View PostIt's that time of year where I put everything on hold and power through writing an entire novel in one month. That's right: National Novel Writing Month is here and it's time to share some good shit with y'all. Today's word count is 2410. And my favorite bit is as follows:
She wandered the shore of the oasis, d...
2021-11-01 23:27:58 +0000 UTC View PostBasil was right. It did not take nearly as long to return to Spade as it did to get to Ahmar. Along the way, they passed two other Spade boats heading south. Alfre’s heart sang when she saw them sail by. Maldrom and Ludovico had kept their promise.
The ship was met with a cheering crowd as they docked in the shipyard. Many in the crowd h...
2021-10-16 15:55:26 +0000 UTC View PostThe trip didn’t take as long as Alfre had feared. And the dawn of the fifth day, Basil shouted down into the barracks about having spotted land. They’d be within docking distance in less than an hour.
“I’ll let Sandfur know,” Canus told them. “I’ll be on the shore when you arrive.”
“How will you get there?” one of...
2021-10-03 15:11:03 +0000 UTC View PostTwo weeks later, Alfre found herself staring at the massive, manmade marvel of steel and copper and whatever other metals Maldrom and his worker bees had scrounged up and welded together. It looked like someone had frankenstiened the thing together from a dozen or more other ships, but it was floating. And really, that was all that mattered.
... 2021-09-19 13:25:11 +0000 UTC View Post“You need me to do what?”
Maldrom didn’t even look up from his ledger. “Just escort my miners into the mountains and get me some more mana crystals. It’ll only take a few days.”
Alfre raised a skeptical brow at the dwarf. “And why can’t your guild escort itself?”
“Because everyone else is working on that dar...

2021-09-01 00:43:54 +0000 UTC View PostAlfre pushed the question of her so-called ‘boyfriends’ out of her mind. There were more important things to worry about, like how Maldrom and Ludovico finally managed to get an engine running. They called Alfre in a week after her last visit, the two of them grinning like madmen.
“We’ve done it!” Maldrom exclaimed. “We’ve go...
2021-08-21 15:16:45 +0000 UTC View PostAlfre sat in the lounge’s most comfortable leather chair, staring unseeingly at the fire that crackled before her. She absentmindedly swirled the scotch in her glass. She hadn’t taken a sip in almost ten minutes, to focused on all the thoughts spinning about her head. She couldn’t quiet her mind, not with everything that was going on. The ...
2021-08-07 14:45:20 +0000 UTC View PostAlfre, if you had asked her all those months ago, would not have said ‘Yeah, in a year I see myself leading an army of MMORPG players in a war against other MMORPG players and that’s not a metaphor for anything.’ Though, technically, she was not yet leading an army into war, but instead a nation into a refugee crisis.
But first the r...
