Omnixius

A work of madness

Chapter 23 is eight hours of work. I had a completely different chapter loaded up but I suddenly saw a scene and felt a deep need to change my course. Normally I would write this and then step back from it for a day to clear my mind. I would then reread it with that clear mind and see where it doesn't flow well or make sense....

2-23 Treasured Possession.

The morning was heavy with dew as he stood in a clearing of dead grass surrounded by brush and gnarled trees.

“Are we really going to do this every morning?” Tavis asked as Ayawa walked around Gedris and kicked the back of her foot.

“Your feet are too far apart,” Ayawa scolded. “Now assum...

finally I am two ahead.

I was struggling to get two chapters ahead to add some value to the patreon. I have some extra stuff I didn't use I am going to post as well.  I am working on the next Tavis Ayawa chapter now. It seems like this a full time job these days.

2-22 I can' think of a catchy title. "Women of the woods?" maybe

Thayle sat on a log wrapped in nothing but a towel. She had begun to bathe using the water they had brought from Avashire. When that started to run low, Gersius produced a bucket and offered to get more from the river below so she could wash her hair. Now she waited in silence for him to return while Lilly hover...

Does this make more sense.

I was wondering if this new chapter made more sense? It has Ayawa on watch and tired. It still plays out the same way but not because she was being stupid. It also explains how the assassins found them.

Chapter 21 edited to fix opening scene.

The morning air was cold and heavy with a fog that blanketed the dew-laden ground. The domain of the night was just beginning to surrender to the first light of the sun as it neared its appearance on the horizon.   

They had camped in a clearing inside a  dense knot of trees, bedding down f...

Feedback request

I had a lot of trouble with this chapter. It has a strongly emotional and controversial theme to it. I always worry I will offend when I write chapters like this, but these are what makes good stories.  I would like to know if you think the chapter is going to far. I am trying to portray that Ayawa is haunted by a past s...

To become a rokki.

The morning air was cold, and fog blanketed the ground. All three of them slept soundly as the distant horizon started to glow with the first rays of the sun.  

They were exhausted and after Tavis had seen nothing for miles they had risked another night with nobody on watch.

Ayawa shifted sligh...

2-20 Black Tears

Gersius held Thayle to his chest and stroked the back of her head. They both sat in the saddle on Lilly's back as she picked her way down what looked like a path. The river was someplace to the left, and she kept looking out over the canopy of leaves to get her bearings.   

He pressed her close ...

2-19 We all make mistakes

Ayawa sighed as the sun began to brighten the morning sky. They had ridden well into the night and camped under some trees well off the road. Tavis was sound asleep while she lay to his left with her arm over his chest. She hated the thought of having to be on the move, but they had two last stops to make. It had...

2-18 A choie of loves

Gersius awoke to find himself sleeping in Thayles lap. He struggled to get up and lift his head to look around.  

The little bit of sky he could see above was black and dotted with stars. Around him was a densely overgrown forest, thick with vines and brush. The trees towered up in straight reddish b...

Book 1, unused conversation about beauty.

“Why would I know that?” Lilly demanded.

“I do not know. Sometimes you seem to understand completely and other times I have no idea what your thinking,” Gersius replied with a stern tone.

“I am a dragon. I know a very little about you rodents from my mother. She told us to stay away from ...

So this isn't working.

Unfortunately I can't even get people to view this page, let alone think of supporting it. Considering how many rave reviews I have this seems disappointing. I had hoped to reach the $20 mark by now so I could setup the website.

I guess there is no choice. I am going to have to gate content behind the patreon paywall. ...

Website woes

The new website will be up just as soon as we hit the $20 goal. This will be enough to pay for all the things I need and to pay royalroad for providing such a wonderful site to list my story on.  I am looking forward to the very first donator. I feel like I need to open a bottle of champagne when that happens. Assuming I...

Potential donator reward.

I have of course been trying to think of a reward to give my donators. What I have so far is this. 

I will write a one book story in my world about another character, or part of the lore. This book will only be available to donators UNTIL I write a second book. Then the first one will go up to the public and th...

My silly beliefs.

I suppose it was silly of me to think I will put up a patreon and it will be flooded with people! Ha!

I know this will take time and grow slowly, I am just excited at the prospect of turning writing into my career. I love to tell my story and I have other stories I want to tell. So while I know I can't put my hopes in ...
