Speedpaint of My Mutated Mushroom
Some time ago, running on 3 hours of sleep, I workshopped my protagonist for like, an entire day.
It really helped; Caias is SO much clearer to me than he ever was.
Which led to me reworking the synopsis for A Sight of Aur, so I hope I can get some feedback!
In the Republic of Callendulus, the blessings of the seven Graces protect the people from the dhei, the beasts of old exiled to the wastelands for their one great sin. But those earthly lords have never given up on their ancestral lands. Caias Seighin, the eastern Lord of Lehron, has prepared his entire life to face them. He's a stellar sharpshooter. A practiced equestrian. A proficient swordsman. Academically excellent and a pillar of sense among his people and peers. With his treasured "eyes that witness truth," Caias is certain to quash the dhei's stirrings in record time. Except he can't. He's a fraud. His eyes reveal nothing, and no one beyond Caias's closest allies can know of this blemish upon his pedigree. Ever afraid of exposing himself, Caias can only manage his very best to allay his people's fears. Khloe Quayle, however, despite her station as Marchioness of Bhelthe, remains deeply unconcerned with the circumstances. A recluse infamous for her indolence, she spurns Caias's efforts in favor of holing up in her workshop. Yet her expertise in aurturgy, the power of commandment, is the key to possibly unlocking Caias's talents. The dhei's long-absent leader is returning, however, and Caias might not have enough time before everything falls apart like sand through a sieve.

Chapter 45!
I’m so excited to start polishing this story
But unfortunately all I can do right now is post the remaining chapters
My editor (my partner) is so bossy, I can’t even think about my story right now (I’m forced to take a break so I can have fresh eyes when we start editing)

In my previous post I mentioned that I’d written way too much about my two OCs that originally started off as DnD characters that evolved so far beyond into a passion I never expected and has consumed every waking moment of my existence for the past few years.
This is the current state of my manuscripts:
(I just need to share this somewhere because I’m bubbling with excitement)
Book 3:
Book 2:
Book 1: (Which I’m still currently writing because I wrote 2 > 3 > 1 whoops)
I’m very excited to share these one day. And this is my reason for not having posted fanfic in a while (I’m so sorry)
What Page Wednesday
Doing a bit of back log today since it’s the weekend and I can get caught up📄 no pun intended with Caught Up being the sequel to this lol
I’ve made it to page 139 in Lights Out and Josh is so funny I think I would honestly listen to the audiobook after reading this just for the fun of it being narrated by him.
Finally.
I finally bought the <Blossom> books and just started it three days ago :) This new edition (to celebrate 10 years since it's release) consist of two volumes and three books in each. So a total of 6 books in the series. I've seen many reading the english translated version but I prefer reading the original since I know chinese 😉 Especially for stories with a chinese historical setting, the original language conveys more for me since they use words and talk a lot different than modern chinese. I love the nuances.
The books looks like this and it's so pretty! My books arrived in pristine conditions and all the extra merch were in it too.
I just finished the first book and the family background story is much more prominent and complicated in the novel, so I appreciate how it was adapted in the drama. Chinese families are huge and you can really see the dynamics in the first book, since you can have more than one wife. So 5th uncle is actually not Dou Zhao father's actual blood brother, but it's his cousin from his father's side. The relationships are interesting but I can see the confusion as well, since there are so many relatives in the novel compared to the drama. Seniority is very important, even I get confused by all the family titles in the book and irl 😆
I've read manga like Ran to Haiiro no Sekai and watched anime like Mahou no Tenshi Creamy Mami so I'm familiar with a young/childish conscious being in a mature/adult body but in <Blossom> it's the opposite. Seeing Dou Zhao navigate the difficult family mattes in a young body was quite fun, since she was much younger in the novel (2 years old). I didn't mind the whole slow set-up and actually liked to see how Dou Zhao grew up and see how she built her relationhips and finding her closest advisor and servants.
The rebirth concept was also not straight forward which I liked. It's was like life 1 one was a dream and the current second chance in life is the real one. The drama did quite a great job with it as well and gave us such a beautiful scene in episode 1.
I'm currently reading the second book and Song Mo have not been introduced yet. So I'm quite excited when we finally get to meet him. I'm at that part where Dou Zhao rejected a marriage with Wu Shan and He Yu from the He family asked for Dou Zhao's hand in marriage (never happened in the drama). The scheming tactics in this family is intriguing and the court politics is deeply involved in every decision made, and I loved to see Dou Zhao navigate around this. Small things have changed compared to life 1 and she is also curious about the outcome of a future unknown.
