I've decided I'm going to do the radio shift because it suits the story much better as a medium to tell the tale - that does not mean I'll be tossing out the 10 chapters I've managed because there's nothing stopping me from doing both down the line!

Am I considering starting my whole project over as a radio drama instead of a book? Yes. Yes I am.

Hey #writingcommunity I've hit a huge milestone (for me) today in completing the first draft of chapter 10! 32 more to go but now it feels like I'm really doing this!

Can't believe i neglected to post about the villain of my novel. Grecko Thomas - a demon straight out of Greed who won't stop until he rules over all of creation. Devourer of the first fallen and one of two demons currently contending for King of Hell. Stopping him won't be easy. ##writingcommunity

It's been a bit since I've posted any excerpts to the #writingcommunity and I've got a good one I'll need to break into parts here. I'm very proud of establishing names have such power that even in the narration it doesn't say the character's name directly.

Finished Chapter 9 draft and started chapter 10 yesterday. Snow days really do hit different don't they? However now I have to figure out how I'm gonna shovel myself out to get to the day job.

Loci Lore @elocian.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

Not the first line of the day but the most amusing I've done in a while: “Do you have something to fight with?” “Dagger, not as cool as yours but I wasn’t exactly planning on squaring up against the legions of Hell today.” Voshe shrugged, it was just the fact of the matter.

#writingcommunity Hey guess what! I finally have myself a proper webpage and it features updates and free to read short stories (one for now with several more intended) taking place in the same universe as my WIP novel authorlocilore.wixsite.com/divinecorrup...

People mistook their lack of affection for a lack of love. The red in Miranda’s eyes and the tight shaking grip that Cain held his walking stick with both spoke louder than the stony neutral expressions they wore. They wouldn’t let their mourning be a grand public display. #WritingCommunity

Been very slowly hacking away at my writing these last few days - motivation has been low. That said even when its only a few sentences it's still progress. Haven't been posting here much because there hasn't been much that would make good teasers but know it has been going.

Hello I've got many new followers so time for a proper introduction! I go by LociLore and I'm working on writing my first novel/series - Divine Corruption. A fantasy/occult tale of men demons and angels, the good and the bad of them all, and the desire to not just survive but live against the odds.

Loci Lore @elocian.bsky.social · 19/11/2024

The arguing was making Himiko uncomfortable but they had many reasons to be uncomfortable. Being in Hell was one. The pain they were in was one. Knowing that the pain wasn’t just because they were an angel in Hell and that it was effecting everyone now joined the list of reasons. #WritingCommunity

First bit of writing this morning before work is going back and filling in a scene I had to skip over that's been rolling around in the back of my head, and ooh I am feeling the opening on this now that I've gotten it figured out.

Loci Lore @elocian.bsky.social · 12/11/2024

Some thoughts on my writing progress, Most say dont edit first drafts until you're done but for me I need to do at least a sweep over it to be sure I like the direction things are going, and to clean up any OBVIOUS errors. All this to say - write the way that makes you comfortable. #Writingcommunity

Loci Lore @elocian.bsky.social · 09/11/2024

I've had the ideas for what each Ring of Hell in my world represents for a while now, but I've finally started writing it all down at last. A snippet from my literal Hellscape world building describing what qualifies as 'Lust' in Divine Corruption. #WritingCommunity #Worldbuilding

The Ring of Lust, formed by Asmodeus, was the second ring to be formed as its ruler was the second of the sins to fall. Designed to punish Lust, while it is most commonly thought to represent only lust of the flesh - lust of all forms are all equally tormented here. Lust of Knowledge, and Lust of Power, are some easy examples. Still more are those who were thrill seekers, those who sought things for the sake of seeking them to a degree that was deemed vile - the adrenaline junkies that put everything else second and the blood lust of murderers who didn't care about their victims only the pleasure of death - they all wind up here just the same and are punished as equals.

“I would advise against that.” A voice rang out through the halls. Not booming, nor threatening but the voice of someone with a distinct and regal air of command about them. It seemed to come from the walls themselves, and every corner of the house filled with it's presence. #WritingCommunity

Loci Lore @elocian.bsky.social · 05/11/2024

First Drafts are hard - what do you mean I'm suppose to leave errors alone and come back later I want it perfect now!! This is arguably the biggest challenge I face with my writing and if anyone has any helpful brainhacks for my AuDHD to just move along - I'll gladly hear them. #writingcommunity

Loci Lore @elocian.bsky.social · 04/11/2024

So despite posting blurbs - I haven't talked about my project Divine Corruption. 1800 years ago, the world became a battleground between Heaven and Hell, and humanity had to pick up what was left of it. Making pacts with demons became a part of life for mankind. (1/3) #writing #writingcommunity

Dash moved first- kicking for Grecko's chest forcing him to release his whip to dodge. The moment he let go of his weapon its shifted into a serpent lunging for the knight who threw his blade to avoid the viper's fangs. Weapons returning to them - they were back to square one. #writingcommunity

Loci Lore @elocian.bsky.social · 29/10/2024

A man unknown to him, gaze and arm both locked in place - holding strong his blade that had the demon's whip tangled around it. Silvered armor and an age worn intensity. Like Grecko he had a divine visage and while Voshe couldn't explain it, unlike Grecko it offered comfort. #writingcommunity

Not writing today,(or at least i don't intend to we'll see later) but I have taken up learning a new hobby. Here is some morning progress on my first dip into Cross stitch

000

Loci Lore @elocian.bsky.social · 26/10/2024

Junebugged all morning, wound up doodling out some of the crests of a few of the demons in my story Today. Lets pretend I was actually able to get The Collector's and Grecko's symmetrical. #writing #writingcommunity #doodles #referenceart

The Collector's Crest - A scarab holding a coin, the body split by a cross. Located on the inside of his left wrist with the head facing towards his palm. When he makes deals with people it comes alive and crawls to their wrist, and marks them, their coin will depict an image of whatever they are meant to receive from him and his will show what they offered when in proximity to them.

The Dark Sun's Crest - an eye that also resembles a solar eclipse at the wedding ring stage of an eclipse. It is not always visible on him but if he is using his magic or forming a contract a glyph of the crest will start glowing infront of his left eye. When he is not hiding his rough appearance with magic it is visible like an open wound around his right eye and brow area.

Loci Lore @elocian.bsky.social · 24/10/2024

He looked how so many described angels to be - flawless, perfect, beautiful. And yet there was something about him that was unsettling. Too flawless, an idealized being. It entered the world of uncanny. The storm that circled with him at the eye didn't ease that feeling. #writingcommunity #writing

Loci Lore @elocian.bsky.social · 22/10/2024

Snippet of a scene I've been chipping away at today. While he's technically narrates the prologue this is the first proper introduction to The Collector within the story. #writingcommunity #writing #amwriting

"Evening folks." The demon spoke in a deep drawl unlike any accent native to Arcridge. The few times he'd been asked through history he'd always mentioned some place called Mississippi - somewhere from the old world. "Apologies if I singed anyone. Not exactly easy making it up here when you ain’t properly invited."

Carcius stared at the demon for a moment as The Collector brushed off some unseen dirt from his own shoulder and straightened his sleeves out. "You're not Lord Grecko."

"And you're about as sharp as a marble to make that observation boy. Got that from your momma. Lord Grecko, is a very busy little devil these days - what with the Spear and The Dark Sun and all. Can't be showing up to every call his followers make in person, so I'm here-" he paused to tip his hat, of the many rings upon his fingers the chimera band around the thumb he touched to the brim stood out the most. "-on his behalf. Here to do my namesake and gather up that little thing you wanted to give him in exchange for...what precisely was it you asked from him?"

Carcius shook off the shock but the discomfort was clear ever since the demon mentioned his mother. The implication that The Collector at the very least knew of who his infernal parent was, if it wasn't him himself wasn't lost on the cambion.

"To unlock the power of my blood...to be able to embrace my birthright. I ask him for power beyond my mortal strength."

The Collector's smile faded and those ruby eyes became unreadable as he stared directly at Carcius, like he was looking deep into his very soul. "Now boy, you're telling me for just a scrap more than what you have now...you're willing to offer someone else's life? An innocent soul at that?" The tone and expression of a concerned father slowly melted away into a dark grin that was far more befitting what he actually was. "I will never be out of a job, because mortal Greed never fails to impress. You really are your mommy's boy - and by the by, that ain’t no compliment."

Loci Lore @elocian.bsky.social · 21/10/2024

The Collector has gone by many names over even more years, lately he's has taken to the name of Maverick. A crossroads demon whose always up for a game of chance, few even in Hell can claim to even begin to know what his endgame really is. (Character Lineart by @hikkibu.bsky.social color by BigBadZ)

"The Festival of Promise celebrates new life, a new year and is also a memorial to time and people gone by. After a terrible event known as Hell on Earth1800 years ago, a minuscule fraction of humanity survived despite the odds - and it was these people who founded our city of Arcridge." #writing

The world has 99 problems, and a Greed demon trying to take over the three realms is the biggest one of all. Humanity has to juggle dealing with most of the other 98 while dealing with him. Heaven and Hell politics are also a nightmare. #writingcommunity #writers #authors

So I know how Artists promo on SM, is there any advice for #Writers to do the same while they're working on their projects or is it better to keep hush on things until you've gotten finished work to show? I'm pretty new to all this lol

Loci Lore @elocian.bsky.social · 19/10/2024

New here after jumping the sinking ship, but also lowkey using it as a fresh start. Im mostly going to be posting about writing and art projects I'm working on, or D&D.
