The home stretch of Reality is within reach. While I struggle sometimes at the end of a novel as I did today, I realise what is important and what is not. I want to make Reality the best it can be and the best way to do that is hold nothing back from this point. I admit I am usually a reserved writer, but there are moments when I need to do something that stands out. I feel I have done that.

Earth Splitter: Thoughts of Home !!CONTENT WARNING!!
Why do I want to encourage people to write? It's because of the way the world works. Sure, writers are not guaranteed any monetary gain, but that is not why people should write. People should write because of the stories they tell. These stories are what inspire us to be the best we can be. I cannot imagine what a world without stories would look like and I do not wish it on any generation.
Eden: Embrace the Dark
As the week draws on, naturally people lose their will to work, but a surprise for me was that it was not terrible like it most weeks for me. I wanted to write Eden, but boy was it hard to continue after the brilliant way that the previous chapter ended. I still get chills thinking about how well I can write when I am passionate about it. Not that I am not passionate about writing, but some days there is work better than other days.
Crucible: The Crowning
I cannot state how much I love to write. It is the one thing in life that gives me real enjoyment from doing it. Sure, I have tried to have a couple of relationships, but they broke down because the other person did not have the drive and determination to make it work that I did. I use that same drive and determination to progress my books each and every day that I get out of bed.
Crow: I Swear I Had A Word Limit
The word count for this week tells the entire story of my work for today. I don't understand what tempted me to write so much, but it felt good to get it all out. I think I got so caught up in the drama that I didn't care about sticking to my plan. I see it as a good thing as opposed to a bad thing. I didn't raise the bar for next week, but I did afford myself a lot of new material to build off of.
Ascension: Hitting the Ground Running
After a well-deserved break and a fantastic Week of Samples, I dove back into my writing this week and felt like I never skipped a beat. The words that came out of me today flowed with elegance and ease and I am glad I decided to take my break. It also helps that I could finally crawl into the right side of the bed last night (literally and figuratively) so I got a really good sleep and woke up more spritely than I have all year.
Reality – Chapter One
The last of my non-published samples for this week comes right from the eclectic novel, Reality. Few people have laid eyes on any part of this novel save for the small samples I put up each week. That is why I hope this excites you.
Eden – The Prologue Chapter
Eden uses a different approach to Novel Writing. Instead of using dedicated chapters for specific events, I chose to use sections to encompass a variety of events, as well as to show where the story really changes. The Prologue is innocent enough and not much happens, but it is a beautiful component of my writing. Enjoy.
Crucible – Chapter One
Crucible is the third in the week of samples, yet it distinguishes itself right off the bat when compared to Ascension or Crow. I do not know what endears me to the open of Crucible, but I find it sets the world and story up with absolute perfection. Enjoy the opening chapter.
Crow – Chapter One & Chapter Two
The second installment of my week of samples comes courtesy of the inimitable Crow. While shorter than the sample of Ascension, the purpose is the same. The two chapters set up the basics of the world and the strange open leaves the reader wanting more. Enjoy 🙂
