Only 665 words today, but that’s a lot better than zero. Lucas has some new traveling companions now. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #yafantasy

Good morning, #WritingCommunity! If you’re a book promoter or sell some other service for authors, please don’t slide into my DMs immediately after a follow back. I have a publisher, an editor, and everything else I need. Should we require more, we’ll reach out. Thanks!

The last two days, I wrote about 300 words each day. Today I wrote 475, but most of the time was spent writing that prophecy (See previous tweets. Are we still calling them tweets?) #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amwritingfantasy

Today I wrote a prophecy. In year sixteen, evil falls upon the land once more. Death returns, stronger now, eager to even the score. The Sign of the X, born today, light against the dark. Boy of cinder, from Ocean near, on quest from monarch… #WritingCommunity

Order helps, Travelers too, push to the mountain top. Danger comes, one is lost, and another has to stop. To Ocean return, all to fight, under standard bright. When Death comes down, the battle set, dark against the light.

Here’s a #snippet. Almost there. Lucas huffed and puffed even more than when he ran from the Green Man. Sweat dripped down his face and into his eyes. He could barely even see the finish line. His chest burned. His legs burned. His heart beat faster than it had ever done.

Lucas is kind of like Hiccup, Arthur (the Wart), Lucas (named for), and Luke Skywalker.
