Hey all,
I've had a silent month, as we were visiting family for the first half of July and I've had a health crash for the other half.
Summer Camp was not an option for me this year, but I do have a new chapter of The Cleansing of Zykyrn Pilkarrz out now.
It's mostly about food. But even as Vazkyr falls in love with the Bluefish Pastry, her overtired mind is trying to tell her that it's not just about food.
Enjoy.

PS (I never know which hashtags to use or whether anyone sees things more if I use them. But it's worth trying!).

New Chapter 18 of The Cleansing.
Having had medical aid, Kanda-Nor is refreshed and ready for research. Having slept in a chair in the medical wing, Vazkyr... is not.
But a stressful 23 hours gives way at last. If only they could figure out how to say goodbye.
Working on Drawings
I've also started to do a bit more sketching to add to my writing (hence the cover). My hand sketches always seems to look worse after a camera has had its say, but I know I'm no famous illustrator either!
Thanks all,
FJB

My task to convert chapters of The Cleansing to Manuscript format is continuing. Tonight I've published Chapters 5 and 6.
In one chapter a delivery brings a sign of hope. In the next chapter, a totally different delivery threatens despair.
It's not Prose vs Manuscript
Manuscript and Article is not an either/or. I am leaving the Prose Series as it is, but using manuscripts to let you read whichever way is the most comfortable for you.
Drawings
I am still doing sketches for this story, but writing has to come first.
Thanks for your support, even if that's just silently reading what I write.
Take care,
FJB

Why can't we help wild animals understand words? [Azachet] wondered in annoyance, then again, many people refuse to understand words despite being able.
Naja unwittingly invites the attention of the one creature she laughed about cooking. Azachet and Shenzàn must defend the party, while not taking life when it is avoidable.

I Hit My Rebel Novelember Targets (Just!)
I wasn't sure I was going to manage it, due to illness and other home stresses, but I made my targets of 15 Episodes and 25,000 Words.
Here's my updated challenge page. Enjoy.
I have no idea how people hit 50k words as 25k was hard enough for me!
I'll now be putting an editing and publication schedule together so I can gradually release these episodes.
Enjoy WorldEmber, I have rest to catch up on and other things outside of writing that need my attention.
Thanks!

The Cleansing - Chapter 3 is out for Villagers+
Chapter 3 of The Cleansing is out now for anyone who is a Villager, Citizen or Unauthorised Mage.
Previous Chapter: A Lack of the Familiar
Well, as I accidentally posted this globally, I may as well share the link to the previous chapter, which is totally public!New Chapter: Unfamiliar Elements
Y'kàndrà faces his fear of the entrance clerks and learns of a challenge the citizens of Shevezz will have to face if action is not taken soon. Aware this stalls his own reasons for being there, the mage decides to make his mission to be involved in both his and the Queendom's difficulty. Well, if he can find his way to the library, anyway. Read Now This will be up on Patreon shortly and I am working on a manuscript version of this too.When Will This Be Public?
By Saturday probably. It will be later if I haven't created the artwork for the header by then.What's a Villager/Citizen?
These are people who are monthly supporters on Ko-Fi or Patreon, with a Title that matches their kind contribution. Don't ask about the Unauthorised Mages. The first rule of the Unauthorised Mage programme is you do not talk about the Unauthorised Mage programme. #fiction #fantasy #writing #ChroniclesOfQalath

Chapter 8 Out, and World-MaybeEmber!
Now that I've finished most of the leftover stuff on my regular blog for this year, I can focus on some fantasy fiction writing and world building.

Skirmishes and Schisms, Chapter 8
After releasing Ch8 for Followers (Màraparii) I totally forgot to make it public for the rest of the world. So that's been fixed! Emotions are running high following Carnael's outburst at the Stones of Myrn, but the announcement of Rusziné's exile is not the end of the plot against him.World-MaybeEmber!
I've finally done a long-overdue write-up of King Carnael II. After planning it, there's a lot to say, but I want to add more visuals before creating more text, otherwise it'll be an encyclopaedia entry. I don't know if I'll make it to 10k words for #WorldEmber2023 - my two articles were ones I did because they needed doing, not because of specific prompts. Time and health have not been on my side this December. But I'll try. If I don't get to chat with anyone beforehand, have a good #Christmas and here's to more writing and world-building in the new year.

Chapter 8 of Skirmishes and Schisms out for Followers
While things appear to be calming down after repelling the Kyadii incursion, emotions are beginning to run high elsewhere in the Realm. As the Kyadii seek to return home before the relative warmth of the Qalathian Winter permanently damages their eyesight, Rusziné gives his one remaining squad member a lesson in reason before the former Captain is forcibly ejected from the Realm.
But something is stirring in Saf-Athan Palace, where Carnael prepares to break a law he himself set in motion.
If you follow Qal'ath, you should be able to read Chapter 8 before I publish it publicly (if I've done it right)!

Skirmishes and Schisms Chapter 7 is Out
Hey all, I've now released Chapter 7 of "Skirmishes and Schisms" to the world.
In this chapter, the Kyadii leaders finally meet Klor'asq, who was the very reason for their incursion on Qalathian soil. But his perceptions of freedom lead them to question if the whole effort had been for nothing.
The latest chapter is linked below, but to start reading it Click/tap here. Chapter 7: Myths of Freedom in Skirmishes and Schisms Thanks, FJ Brodie #Fantasy #Fiction #Manuscript #WriterNotAuthor
