Progress Among the Maelstrom

The world may be going crazy but I have still made progress forward. ^_^ I have been applying for a new job and participating in interviews now that I have graduated from the local college. So that has hampered my updates the past couple weeks. But I am still writing, never fear!

I added finess to the map I created a week or two ago, naming all the streets and little stuff. Oof. haha. And yesterday I wrote 7 pages IN ONE SITTING. I cannot say it is my greatest work...but I at least was still writing.

I push myself to write so that I dare not forget the joy creation gives me, among all the darkness of our current world.

I wrote another page today before work. I got this. :)

And to finish off my current progress, I have finished creating a new character, and officially have face claims for every one of my characters and fleshed out mini primers to help me keep track of their purpose in my story. It is my way of helping when I get stuck, I can look back on what each character really wants to accomplish, see what is missing, and get fired up with ideas on how to move forward.

Also, now I am at 33 followers. It is small among some of my fellow writers, but to me it means the world! Thank you to those who show interest and help me hold myself accountable, as that helps me push myself to continuously improve my writing and my progress, knowing there are those interested in what I have to write.

ABOUT THE MIST KEEPER’S APPRENTICE

Storytelling was outlawed. Magic had all but vanished.

That all changed when the woman in black came to town. Branded with the black stamp at a young age, Brent thought he would end up a vagrant like his father. His craft was telling stories, but the Order had long forbidden any weaving of tales. When Brent sees the woman in black, she leads him into a menagerie of tunnels beneath the earth where his life falls into the nauseating, but beautiful, mist of the dead.

He finds friendship in Rho, a young woman who hides her face with a tree branch while roots and vines bow to her every whim. Together, they embark on a journey to explore the world, escape the watchful eyes of the Order, and discover the woman in black’s secrets.

For thousands of years, the mist and the tunnels were under the sole guardianship of the Council of Mist Keepers. But as new monsters enter the mist, and magic is forced out of the shadows, the Council searches for young blood to join their ranks and Brent’s next in line.

The downfall of character creation...

An abbreviated view of my recent thought process for a scene with as few spoilers as I could:

Well, someone needs to die at so and so, to be a catalyst. But none of my current cast are a good fit, as they are necessary for the ending I envisioned.

Looks like we need a new character to liven up things. Oh, Character B would like this one. They would definitely be cute together. They were so glum, this will definitely liven up both characters.

Oh and here is a name for my new character, go back to the beginning and incorporate them into my outline and write them into my story. Awesome, what a cute couple.

Now back to where I left off, they must die......

Oh crap....

That’s right, they die. Poor character B, what have I done to you? I had forgotten in my excitement! Hope you will forgive me for my accidental carrot on a stick.

I Finished a town Map!

Using an online map editor, I created and finished my first ever map from scratch as a visual aid to help with keeping things consistent and accurate in my story while writing. It is a small-ish coastal town of about 10-20,000 residents set in a modern setting.

It took me two weeks and untold hours to complete it. It was a frustrating yet rewarding experience, and I am glad for having learned a new skill along the way. EDIT: I also did hours worth of research on what towns and cities of this size have, and how coastal cities are set up to be as accurate as I could. Glad to finally have something to show for it.

I haven’t decided if I will include the map in my story or not, and if I did, whether I would include my amateur map or a professionally rendered version of it. What are other’s thoughts on including maps of made up locations in books? Let me know below!

Character Moments

The idea for this post was inspired by a recent post from @quilloftheclouds . Here are a few moments from an earlier draft of my story, some of which stayed in and were better fleshed out, and some which did not make the cut.

               Raziel gazed upon the mortal who stood before him, taking in their appearance. A priest, though one who did not appear easily phased by his presence. “Most humans bow or show reverence upon confronting me.” The mortal looked him square in the eyes before responding.

“Most angels do not lurk in the trees and glower when confronted.”

~ ~ ~

               Azreith felt heated when she noticed the presence of a fallen angel. “I would see you burn in the bowels of hell before I would suffer you standing upon the earth once more.”

               He looked offended as he sheepishly met her gaze, before looking away with uncertainty. “First off, yes you banished me and yes you cut my wings off. However, I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I was not taking part in that war. I was grouped in with a bunch of rebels who I didn’t even know.” He raised his eyes to hers once more. “And have you even seen hell? It is not the pit of torment you seem to relish imagining for everyone else.”

~ ~ ~

             “What are we to do?” Michael stood before the map, looking over various pieces he had strategically placed. “The wolves beset our door; the darkness eats away at the foundation of our home.”

             “Darling, we have weathered far worse. Heaven will survive this decay, and you will make it right. You always do.” She placed a hand upon his forearm, her voice soft to soothe him.

             A sigh followed by silence. “Yes, I guess you are right. I should not let them get into my head so often. Azreith, come. I have something that requires your skills if we are to be successful.

             “Forgive his gruff tone, dear. Michael has a lot resting upon his shoulders these days.”

~ ~ ~

            “We are quite alone…” Azreith stated coldly. It was not that she disliked him in any way. Quite the contrary, he had been nothing but extremely helpful over the centuries to her. Her cold manner was more brought on by the fact that he most likely brought more bad news.

Character Opinion Ask Game

The anxiety bunnies are out to get me today, so… a new ask game!

Reblog this post and I’ll send you an ask with one of my character’s opinions in it. Does your character agree? Disagree? Something else entirely? Have them respond! 

Let’s have some fun!

[dzthorneauthor]

CHARACTER INTRODUCTION: Charles Jaquin

I’ve seen violence masked as passion. Everyone claims they want Heaven, but not everyone is willing to die for it.

Charles is a forty-three year old homicide detective who, along with his partner, has a strong history of solving homicide cases. He is nearing the end of his career, ready to settle down and retire with his wife and young daughter. Charles is a god-fearing man, strong in faith, who attends church on a semi-regular basis.

His greatest personal weakness is that he is unable to let go of a case. He doggedly pursues cases until he has ultimately exhausted every possible avenue, and even then will sometimes be unable to keep the case out of his thoughts. This obsession with solving cases comes from his desire to bring closure to the families of every victim in the same way that he would want done for himself if the tables were turned. Some may consider his devoted love of his wife and daughter to be a weakness as well, though many might disagree.

Charles’ greatest strength is in how his mind pieces together puzzles. His keen mind allows him to easily take notice when pieces do not fit together, even if it takes time to figure out why. He often will sit and just observe his surroundings, not really paying attention while his mind fits various keys to different key holes as he considers the facts of whichever case he currently is solving.

Charles will be assigned a case that quickly escalates, leaving him in the dust. Three bodies with very little in common. And potentially more victims on the way, Charles aggressively tries to solve the case with dead lead after dead lead, all while a growing dread fills him; a fear that he may not survive this case. Will he succeed, or has he bitten off more than he can fathom? Find out in...”From Dust, Return”

[dzthorneauthor]

CHARACTER INTRODUCTION: Azreith Seraphim

If there is one thing that plucks at the strings of my ire, it is you playing at death carelessly without any care or finesse...

Azreith, another of the Seraphs, and twin sister to Raziel, holds two positions that are both revered and feared among the lower choirs and among the mortals. She is both the angel of mercy, and the angel of death. Her role at any given time is apparent to those around her by the color of her eyes and wings, and by the tone of her voice. Often the role changes based upon her emotional state, as well as her mental focus at any given time. If you anger her, you can see her demeanor and appearance change before your very eyes.

Azreith oversees the flow of souls into Heaven to ensure the flow does not dry up, as they approach Michael’s scale. On the other side, as the angel of mercy, she also ensures that all souls whose life was ended prematurely are returned to their source so that they may ripen.

Her greatest weakness is that she is quick to anger when slighted, and does not take criticism well. This stems from how seriously she takes her duties in the grand scheme of the worlds, as she knows that no one else can perform her job as well as her, thanks to her many centuries of experience in her capacity.

Her greatest strength is her ability see both sides of an argument and fairly judge the proper outcome, regardless of her own thoughts. Being the angel of mercy as well, requires her to be fair in the capacities in which she operates. Though quick to anger, she is just as quick to calm down and focus on what is at hand.

At a point of time in the near future, Azreith will find herself torn between two loyalties, of which the consequences of her choices may ripple through both Heaven and Earth in ways that cannot yet be fathomed. Will she be able to look upon her own dilemma and fairly weight the options, or will she be too blinded by her own involvement to think clearly? Find out in...”To Dust, Return”.

CHARACTER INTRODUCTION: Michael Seraphim

It is my responsibility to discriminate between good and evil...as one of the first angels, no one understands better than I.

Michael is another of the remaining Seraphim. As leader of all the angels, and supreme ruler of Heaven, he is stretched thin by the work and stress he endures to keep the cogs turning. Michael took over leadership of Heaven when their Father vanished without a trace or reason; no one else desired the responsibility and were more than happy to accept Michael’s rule. He is also responsible for the upkeep of a powerful artifact, a scale that measures the taint of souls to see if they are to be allowed into Heaven. His home is decaying, and he feels the strain of leadership now more than ever. He does not wish to make it public knowledge that their home and world is slowly falling apart at the seams. He shares this only with the other Seraph, in the hopes that together the generals of Heaven can determine the cause and repair the damage. Michael is known to go to any lengths for his brethren and to always produce results, so the other Seraphs believe in his abilities to solve their troubles.

His greatest weakness lies within his pride and his black and white mentality. He has worked hard to be who he is today, and his pride in himself and his accomplishments shines from their home and the lower choirs who look up to Michael as their protector. However, those closer to him know that this pride has also created friction among the Seraphs who have different ideas on how things should be handled, causing him to sometimes dismiss them and act on his own without their aid when ideals differ.

His greatest strength lies in how he rules Heaven as a natural ruler. Though his pride sometimes causes him to dismiss the opinions of those who disagree with him, he is known to consistently produce results at the least possible cost to his own people. No stranger to violence, having spearheaded many holy crusades through the centuries, Michael is known for attempting to find non-violent approaches first which has built up trust in his leadership.

Michael feels responsible for the decay of his beloved home. He thinks being too lenient in allowing souls with too much taint into Heaven is to blame. Though mostly pure, that little bit of taint that he allowed has slowly built up over time until it has began affecting the fabric of the world around it. In order to repair his mistake, he wishes to become more strict and rebuild the system that determines which souls are allowed in.

His plans have met with some resistance among the other Seraphs, who are unsure if it is wise to tamper with a system that was designed by their Father. Will he be allowed to have his way as usual, or will their world continue to dissolve as they continue to be at odds in their attempt to halt this sickness that permeates their world? Find out in...”To Dust, Return”.

CHARACTER INTRODUCTION: Jericho Winters

Even as his faith was crushed time after time, he hoped that something...anything...would prove him wrong. For his sake, and for his parents sake...

Jericho is a twenty-four year old priest who inherited his parents’ church at the age of seventeen after his father passed away. His mother claimed to see unnatural things and hear voices that would eventually lead to her suicide when Jericho was eight, and his father died from what most would claim to be a loneliness he could no longer hide shortly before his seventeenth birthday. Jericho was determined to follow in his father’s footsteps and offer guidance and prayer to any who were in need. He hides a growing crisis of faith within himself as his prayers are met time after time with silence. He strongly hopes to be proved wrong, even as he begins to accept that he is correct.

In his early teens, Jericho began sensing the presence of something nearby, sometimes moving somewhere overhead as if flying in the sky, or standing nearby just out of sight. He also felt as if their intentions bled into his mind, revealing whether they were malevolent or otherwise. And now a voice only he hears berates him, making light of his lack of faith. He fears whatever was wrong with his mother is genetic and he is going mad.

His greatest weakness is that he feels he is unable to adequately care for those around him due to his own shortcomings as a priest. He believes he will only let others down if they rely on him. This leaves him feeling increasingly alone as he battles with a crisis of faith that may eventually break him.

His greatest strength is that he cares for others no matter their creed or alignment. He cannot bring himself to abandon anyone who is in need of his aid if it is in his power to give it. Though this often clashes with his weakness of belief in himself, leaving him feeling inadequate to help them.

One day, while at a murder scene investigating a tip from a fellow priest, Jericho sees someone among the trees who catches his eye. The decision to follow this figure will not only change his life forever, but also answer his crisis of faith, though not in any way he could have imagined. Did his mother actually see things? Will he find peace in the answers? Or will he fall deeper down the rabbit hole of uncertainty? Find out in...”To Dust, Return”.

CHARACTER INTRODUCTION: Raziel Seraphim

He often dreamed of dark, water-laden behemoths covering the sky in a cacophony of torrential rain and thunder…

Raziel, is one of the remaining Seraphim, a group of  Seraph generals who manage Heaven and all who live within its bounds. Being responsible for the clarification and understanding of messages has given him a different perspective on how things should work compared to his brethren. The centuries have not been kind to him, leaving behind a jaded being whose ideals appear to be his and his alone. He secretly harbors a deep passion for rain and thunderstorms, something that does not exist in Heaven.

His greatest weakness is a secret he guards close to his heart. A secret whose protection is so important, he allows himself to be blamed for a murder he did not commit and to be exiled as punishment, never to see his home again.

His greatest strength lies in his drive. He is incredibly driven when he sets his mind to a task. This drive has propelled him into a place of respect among his peers and the lower choirs as he has devoted his life to selflessly protecting everyone at any cost, human or angel.

Like any strength, it does have a down side. His drive has also put him at odds with those of his brethren who do not see eye-to-eye with Raziel. This has led to many outbursts and quarrels that could have been otherwise avoided. This, alongside rumors, leads many to believe he truly is responsible for the death of one of their own.

Raziel finds himself exiled to the mortal world, near a coastal town where it storms often. Has he found peace in a new home, or will he be tempted down a much darker path? Find out in…”To Dust, Return”.

From Dust, Return

Status: Finishing Outlining/Starting First Draft

Themes: Conflicting loyalties, finding purpose in the ashes of life, secrets and truth

Tags: #from dust-return

Synopsis:

Before a tribunal of his siblings, a Seraphim by the name of Raziel is found guilty for the murder of a defenseless angel. The verdict is unanimous. Exile. Sent to the mortal realm, he is left with a choice. Accept the consequences for a murder he did not commit or attempt to find the real murderer to restore the balance to his own world. Standing in his way is a deep fury he does not recognize as his own, and a guilt that makes him feel responsible for the murder despite the truth. A guilt involving a dead sibling no one remembers that may come to light should he attempt to clear his name. However, he is not the only one hiding things as secrets come to light, secrets that could very well push him down a much darker path than his betrayer could have foreseen.

Even as he decides his own fate, other stories unfold around him. A fellow angel attempts to heal the decay of heaven before the others learn of it. A priest experiences a crisis of faith and believes that only a sign from heaven will be his salvation, underestimating his own otherworldly abilities. And a homicide detective investigates a chain of haunting murders with only one thing linking them; a lack of evidence aside from the bodies, leaving behind a fear that there may be no turning back.

As they all strive to learn truths of their own, someone pulls the strings like a puppet master watching as the pieces fall into place. But as they manipulate the others, are they truly their own master?

Thunder rippled through the night sky in response, drowning out his screams from reaching anyone that mattered. Nature’s humor appeared just as twisted as theirs...

- Dark fantasy with a slight injection of horror sprinkled among its letters and pages.

With a slight hiatus due to work, school and family obligations, I have been watching and returned with fresh spirit. Keep your eyes ever watchful for a revamped and updated WIP introduction post! It should be up between tonight and late tomorrow depending upon your time zone.

I am graduating in May with my associates degree, no ceremony sadly but I get a mailed diploma so it has to do. And in the spirit of finishing a chapter in my life to better my family’s life, I want to finish a chapter in my writing life for you guys. Stay tuned. I am excited to show the progress since my last introduction. Until next time...keep writing until the ink runs dry!
