If the words don't feel like a punch to the face, a slap on the cheek, ice on your back, or fire licking at your heels, then your words are INSUFFICIENT.
Hark! A herald angel paints!
Etyco Filly did a painting of Crystal Dew as arting practice, because arting is hard, and practicing art never ends.
Etyco Filly says the painting is "not amazing."
I UNEQUIVOCALLY DISAGREE.
Look at the art.
Admire the art.
Be inspired by the art.
Little blue apocalypse horse's adventure now comes with 100% more map! Courtesy of... that's right, me!
Here it is, in all its blinding, eraser-smudgy glory!
Solid lines are rivers, dotted lines are roads and highways (not the paved kind, mind you) All the big dots are towns, villages, hamlets, and in the eponymous case, the Dunn Kingdom's Capital, Bellenast.
While it won't have the specific character contact I mentioned in a prior blog post, Chapter 13 is finished, and I'm doing final pre-reading and editing now. I should be able to make any last-minute touch-ups and publish it by sometime in the next couple days. The big reveal will have to occur in the next chapter (It's the Goddess poking her nose in. I mean, really, who else could it be?)
Firstly, I'd like to apologize to everyone who had expected Chapter 13 to come soon after the blog post in December. I had hoped to finish the chapter some time in January. That didn't happen. This is partially because three characters I had intended to serve a simple, short purpose became three characters with much more complexity and dialogue time than I originally planned... and partially because I was sick.
I promise that I don't intend for these to take me a minimum of 6 months at the outset.
More accurately, a note on world crumbling.
Today, I altered a few portions of To Bellenast's Chapter 3 and 5; this is not unusual for me, as I occasionally must refer to certain events when writing new chapters.
Oof. That took way longer than I wanted.
I set a deadline for myself a few weeks ago, and that deadline was today, June 24th, Crystal Dew's birthday. Happy birthday, little apocalypse horse!
... and a change, inevitable as life.
Before I explain that, first, here's another excerpt from Chapter 12 of To Bellenast. I promise, I won't paste the entire chapter in blogs; I write long chapters. Sue me.
“Familiarity breeds comfort, so they say… though I reckon a fire helps more on that front. Where you from, girlie?”
“Neighvarro, for most of my life, but the mountains way east of here, more recently. Near the Celestial Coast.”
... of things to come.
Without further ado:
A smattering of seconds, or perhaps several minutes, later, a fluffy, ash-colored figure appeared, and a haze of pink covered me, and the rushing in my ears faded enough for words to come through.
“Careful! She might be concussed.”
This has nothing to do with narrative voice, though I could talk about that for hours if I really wanted to.
No, this is inspired purely by the happenstance of my listening to a cover, by SquigglyDigg, of a song from Sonic Adventure 2, Crush 40's Live and Learn. Video here:
