Guardian Spirit – Chapter 8

Posted on by

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.

So, just for the sake of seeing how it is, I have made an account on deviantART and I’ll be posting the same writings there as I am on this site. Maybe it’ll mean more people reading them and giving feedback which I would highly appreciate since it is a great way of improving the quality of my writing and of the stories.

Anyway, you can find the account here: http://balaria.deviantart.com/

Sadly my usual nickname was already taken so I had to use something else.

Guardian Spirit: Chapter 6

Posted on by

Hello!

Chapter 6 of the Guardian Spirit story is done and the link for the whole story is below. Besides a whole new chapter there are a lot of changes to the other chapters as well. A small list of the changes:

  • Chapter 1 should now be pretty much stable. Some small grammar mistakes/typos aside.
  • Chapter 2 received a major rework. It should read much better now. Content wise I’d consider the chapter done.
  • Chapter 3 received small tweaks, mainly to give more emotion to the story and characters
  • Chapter 4 received minor tweaks. Mainly to improve the feel.
  • Chapter 5 received minor tweaks. Mainly to improve the feel.
  • Chapter 6 released. I’m the only one who has read it so expect there to be things I have been blind to after many readings.

Hope you enjoy it 🙂

A Prettier Map

Posted on by

After a bit of work I created a(in my opinion) better looking map for Balaria. I used GIMP to trace the outlines from the old map and then used the Overland Map Brushes to add cities, trees, mountains etc. to it. The map is black & white because I couldn’t really find a suitable color balance to make a colored one look nice. Anyway, below is the new map. Hope you like it.
