The Practicioner: A Short Story

Hello.

Here’s a little something I spent a few hours on during the past few days. Not sure why my short ones always seem to go on a path on the dark side of things, but I hope it still works out ok and you like. This does take place in the world of Balaria, though in a portion that isn’t on the map(yet). For now it’s a stand alone short story, but I’ve been toying with the idea of taking the premise and working it into a longer story. We’ll see if that materializes in the future.

Anyway, here’s the link: The Practicioner

Also, there’s now a Twitter link in the links section. Not sure I’ll use it that much, but we’ll see how things go. At the very least it’s one more way to follow updates about my writings.

Guardian Spirit – Chapter 14

Greetings.

This is one of the more major chapters in the story. It’s also one of the more action oriented chapters so I hope I’ve managed to make those scenes decent enough. I’ve always felt a bit uncomfortable writing fight scenes, but there was no avoiding it this time 🙂

As always, you can find the new chapter here: Guardian Spirit – Part Two

In case you’re new, you can find the first part of the story here: Guardian Spirit – Part One

See you again next week.

Guardian Spirit – Chapter 13

Hello once again.

Chapter 13 is here. I’m not entirely sure I’m completely happy with how it turned out, but it should do ok. It is one of those in-between chapters that just develop things. What I do know is that the next chapter will be a significant one with a lot happening.

Anyway, as always, here’s the link: Guardian Spirit – Part Two

Have a good Sunday and see you in a week.

Guardian Spirit – Chapter 11

Hello.

Another weekend, another chapter ready. Some new characters get introduced, a few important events take place and things start heading forward. Also, made a minor tweak to chapter 10 to make things a bit more plausible.

As always, you can download it here: Guardian Spirit – Part 2

Chapter 12 is already done in its rough shape and chapter 13 just needs a few more things to be done story wise. After a bit of polish I’ll put up chapter 12 next weekend. Until then 🙂

Guardian Spirit – Chapter 10

Hello!

New year and a new chapter. With this begins part two of the Guardian Spirit tale. Hope you enjoy it. New PDF file so you don’t have to download the entire part one every time I post a new chapter. Anyway, here’s the link:

Guardian Spirit – Part Two

For those who missed it, Part One can be found here: Guardian Spirit – Part One

With the new year I also made two resolutions to myself. First being that I will try to write on average 1000 words per day. I’ve been doing that for about a week now and it seems to work pretty well. I used to write when ever I felt like it, but that seems to bring all sorts of problems with it, consistency in text quality being one of them. Seems to bring much better results when you do a little bit at a time every day.

The second resolution was that I’d finish the Guardian Spirit storyline this year. That should prove no problem if I can keep the pace I’m doing now. Might even be that the story is finished within 2-3 months, but we’ll have to see 🙂

Guardian Spirit – Chapter 9

Hi!

So as I said in my previous post, chapter 9 was finished pretty fast. With in comes part one of the story to an end. So, what has changed?

  • Added chapter 9
  • Added marks for part one starting/ending
  • Some minor tweaks to the prologue

And here’s the usual link:

Guardian Spirit – Part One

Hope you enjoy it. Chapter 10 will start part two of the story and makes us much, much more familiar with the city of Ramyn 🙂

Guardian Spirit – Chapter 8

Hello!

It’s that time again — time for a new chapter of Guardian Spirit. Hope you enjoy it. There hasn’t been much changes besides the addition of chapter 8. So, without further rambling, here it is:

Guardian Spirit – Chapters 0-8

I hope to have the next chapter done pretty soon. Chapter 9 will essentially conclude what I consider to be “Part 1” of the story. The chapter after that will kick off “Part 2” so no need to worry about the story ending quite yet. We’re up to a little over 40 000 words now and I’d say there’s easily another 40 000 words yet to come, maybe more, maybe less. Depends on how I decide to resolve certain things.
