Well, the bad news is that I've lost my job. The good news is that I have a lot more time for my writing now.

Okay the magazine's taking it's sweet time replying to my submission. Dunno if that's a good sign or a bad sign. Meanwhile, the second draft of "The Falcon and the Kite" is almost done! I'm hoping to finish it either tomorrow or by the end of the week. #amwriting #talesfromkaratera

THE FALCON AND THE KITE This is an excerpt of the myth that'll run parallel to the story. Second draft is almost complete! #amwriting #talesfromkaratera

In the beginning, there was only Chaos and dark waters. There were no men, no gods, no demons. Then Helbus, He-Who-Bore-The-World, came and descended into the depths to create this land of Karatera. He said, “By raising this earth, I have banished the seas of Chaos. I shall become the land, and man will reap the food of my body.” Then, He set to creating the three great gods who would rule man, woman and beast alike in his name.

First, Helbus removed His right eye and placed it into the sky, where it became Ansiliras and the Sun. “I am Ansiliras,” He declared, “The Falcon, He-Who-Crowns-All-Kings. You shall follow me, and I shall give you sunlight and fire.” And so people followed Him.

Then, Helbus removed His left eye, and placed it opposite to the Sun, where it became Chakbet and the Moon. “I am Chakbet,” She declared, “The Kite, She-Who-Shields-The-Weak. You shall follow me, and I shall protect you from all that is evil.” And so people followed Her.

Finally, Helbus removed His tooth and crushed it, where it became Tirike and the storms. “I am Tirike,” He declared, “The Serpent, He-Who-Comes-Without-Call. You shall follow me, and I shall rain lightning and death upon your enemies.” And so people followed Him.

Helbus looked upon His children and He saw that they were good. “Remember,” He said, “it is your sacred task to protect mortals from Chaos. Never forget that, my last wish.” And then He fell into a great slumber, in which He still sleeps to this day.

So, the quest to get "Makina" published in a fantasy magazine continues. I think I chose to do this at the worst time of the year, 'cause a lot of magazines seem to be closed. Still, I'm planning to persist for at least another week. After that, I'll just cut my losses. #amwriting #talesfromkaratera

Okay, so "Makina" is officially done. There was a miscommunication with my editor, so it took a bit longer, but it's done! I'm gonna shop around to see if I can get it published on a spec-fic magazinze before it goes up on my site. And if not, I'll probably put it up sometime in October. #amwriting

Focused a bit more on my "casual" writing projects last week (i.e. fanfiction). THE FALCON AND THE KITE is looking like it'll need a significant rewrite in the second draft to tighten it up, and editing on MAKINA is set to begin in the next 2-3 weeks. #amwriting #talesfromkaratera

On the left is a fullbody sketch of her newer outfit, a cowboy hat on her antilope twisted horns, an embroidered leather jacket other a triangle bra and wide legged chaps. On the right a sketch of her smoking on her horse, one leg over her saddle.

Black and white sketches of Harlow. On the left she is sitting without her hat and you can see her chunky necklace and earrings better. She has dimple piecings as well as a nose bridge and a medusa (under the lip). On the right she is standing next to her horse looking the right, loosely holding the bridle.
