• Writing Update: “The Sorcerers’ Bargain”

  

  It’s been a while! Mostly because I have learned that I can’t do all things all the time.  That doesn’t, however, mean I haven’t been writing (and plotting … always with the plotting!). “The Sorcerers’ Bargain” is done! And by “done,” I mean my initial draft has been completed, edited and is now being updated…

• Writing Side Quest: The Sorcerers’ Bargain Is Updated

  Progress! Newest part is published here. I’m not sure that my forward progress will continue at quite the same clip. I’ve been alternating between viewpoints, and I only have a good sense for one of them past this point of the plot. I guess that means I have some dreaming to do!

• Writing Side Quest: The Sorcerers’ Bargain Update & Snip

  I’ve made a new update to The Sorcerers’ Bargain! And because I’m liking this snip right now, here’s a brief moment about consequences: “But my master —” “You will not like the consequences of your failure in this,” Abil hissed, letting a small portion of what could have been his true self bleed through this…

• Writing Side Quest: The Sorcerers’ Bargain Is Updated

  The Sorcerers’ Bargain is updated! Things I have learned as part of this process: 1) I write leggy, sprawling first drafts. Whew! I know first drafts are supposed to be about just getting words on the page, but wow! I apparently have all the words! 2) If I set myself a goal (like a July…

  The next part of The Sorcerers’ Bargain is up on my WattPad account! I like this part. I apparently enjoy writing villains who’ve had villainy forced upon them. Yago’s not quite there yet, but he will be! (And that’s probably a spoiler, but I don’t care.)

• Writing Side Quest: The Sorcerers’ Bargain

  Publishing The Seer’s Story was cathartic for me: it was so nice, after years of working on Harbinger, to have something real out in the world. It was also really nice to concretely finish a story. So I gave myself a side quest: The Sorcerers’ Bargain. This is another short story in the Harbinger world,…
