Troll War: Week #3

"Seeing what the other gods had done to Benni’s creation, Segawa took pity on them, gifted the first troll woman with her own, divine beauty and took the woman’s ugliness for her own. She returned to the other gods and shamed them for their actions, showing them her misshapen face and body, that they might fully comprehend her sacrifice."
― Excerpt from Troll War, describing the actions of Segawa, Goddess of Beauty, at the founding of the world.

My third weekly update on Troll War is out, covering my work from July 8-12.

Troll War revolves around trolls going to war with dwarves, all as part of a pair of corrupt nobles trying to settle a bet regarding which race will win.

Troll War: a Work in Progress Experiment

I recently started a new novel, titled Troll War, which I've decided to post small updates about on social media and my website blog.

I've been posting small, daily updates on Mastodon.

On Saturday, I posted the first in a series of in-depth, weekly updates.

I plan to continue this pattern until the rough draft is finished, so people can follow along as I work.

When Troll War is finished, I'll be trying my hand at querying agents with it, which I haven't done for almost two years, though I've been steadily improving my skill as a writer the whole time.

I hope you'll enjoy this small glimpse into my writing process. So far, I'm enjoying the experience of these somewhat journal-like posts, though the 500 character limit on Mastodon chafes a bit when trying to tell a story.

Free Short Stories on my Website

I just updated my website to include two short stories you can read for free.

The first is Community Service Fairy Godmother, which involves a fairy being punished for breaking the only law that matters to fairy kind: "Don't get caught!"

The second is Sweet Surrender, a trio of linked tales that illuminate what happens when the unstoppable force meets the immovable object.
