History 9

Pulling history into a story…

Wizards, barring a premature death, live for hundreds of years (it comes at a price). Like the wizards of Barnavava and their shadowy past, that’s a lot of history.

Witches live largely normal lifespans, but pass down a more insightful view of the times they live in. This includes the most famous line of witches in history…

Be everwell.

plot holes?

Just so everyone is aware, especially readers, I NEVER have plot holes.

Instead, in keeping with it being another world, there are literary geological features of a magically sunken kind that may, or may not, resemble chasms.

I recommend taking the bridge.

#WorldOfOntyre 02

From Book1:
“People wouldn't fight for what they couldn’t visualize, but they might for the right vision.” ~Riparia’s thoughts.

From Book3:
“What is leadership?” ~Maniff’s question to his class.

This is an evolving question in the Kovenlore Chronicles. What Riparia notes in Book2 is that restoring the old isn’t good enough. They must move ahead.

Be everwell.

Good day!

Mother Nature doing contrast, and the lichens are liking it.

Just as likely, the lichens were celebrating moisture. I know I did.

Meanwhile, I’m trying to write this post and Evie Cat is having a freak-out. As a Thai cat, she likes warmer temperatures.

Be everwell.

other characters I love

Certainly strange Gash with the big heart he hides, and Mammoth with the hurt and rage he masks. There’s Smythen, the father everyone wants, and contrary Tryn who battles what haunts her.

This is just through Book-4.

I could add animals, like Doppla the horse who knows Riparia better than Riparia knows Riparia, Trayla the terrifying cirque cat who’s loving, or Mazatta the crow who altered the series.

a question
@NaraMoore@sakurajima.moe

Happy birthday to you!

Like you, I have a fascination with crows. There’s a murder that frequents the end of my morning walk so I often study their group behavior, besides individuals.

❓ How do crows influence your writing, or how do they manifest in your writing?

Refuge, a safe shelter.

It’s difficult to find such a place these days since we carry chaos with us in the form of a phone.

My stories serve as a writing refuge because I’m totally engaged, requiring multiple skills simultaneously.

When times are at their worst, those stories comfort me as a reader. I’m the test, the first reader for which I must provide a refuge.

Be everwell.

Winter has a sound,

and sometimes they sound like
peace,
an echo we know
that’s difficult to hold.

intro

Hi, I’m Christina. I write otherworld historical fantasy in the World of Ontyre.

I’m currently finishing the edit on Book-5 of the Kovenlore Chronicles and will publish Book-4 (of 7) this spring. As the midpoint, Book-4 is a big deal.

Kovenlore is rich with adventure and romance, and primarily centered around Riparia Dellbane, but has many intriguing characters. Carrdia is the dystopian nation they’re trying to save.

time for creativity

My crystal ball is a bit hazy these days, and there’s always the possibility it could shatter, but I expect to have all the time I need.

That means, maybe, finishing the edit on Book-5 and going on several hikes where I’ll indulge photography.

It could get interesting. March weather here, like in many places, is unpredictable, as is the nation where we wonder if we’ll be around to have this conversation the next month.

splat!

I had nothing for this, but then went on a winter hike and was redirected in my thinking.

On my recent ascent of Mount Sentinel, a photography adventure, I climbed through a winter wonderland surrounded by dense evergreen forest.

The trees were laden with snow that they delighted in dropping on me when I passed. It was obvious they were working, not just together, but with the chipmunks that’d call out signals.

#WorldOfOntyre 11

Years ago, after changing my worldbuilding, including the maps, I was discussing developing Pannulus, which was on the opposite side of the Brillica Cataclysm.

A question was posed to me, “There’s no contact between Carrdia and Pannulus?” I explained the cataclysm was impassable.

The question sparked an idea that solved a problem I’d had, and so was born my “crossover” novel for Ametha.

Good day!

Our days remain unseasonably warm, but our nights have become colder. I know because Evie Cat was beneath the covers last night.

The forecast is calling for moisture to return. I think they like to tease. They’re certain right up to the moment they aren’t.

Be everwell.

time of day when I’m most productive?

When I sit at the computer.

That time can happen anytime, and happens each day multiple times. That means, anytime between early morning and late evening.

I don’t wait for inspiration to come to me, I sit down and it happens. Having operated like this for a long while, my mind knows what’s expected and responds accordingly.

If I need time to ponder, I do something else and ponder. It’s that simple.

#WorldOfOntyre 10

From Kovenlore Chronicles, Book 4, Buried Remembrances:

Conifers scented the air, an incense worthy of a final breath. A shallow, meandering, and babbling stream provided a melody to which the birds added their voices.

It was all so, well, enormous, she an insignificant life close to passing out of memory. A woman dwelling on approaching death when there’d never been more to live for.

Halftime felt like the US I imagine. Thank you, Bad Bunny, for being braver than our supposed leaders.

Congratulations to Sam Darnold after the Jets treated him like garbage.

worldbuilding

Basic Ontyre worldbuilding has been in place and evolving for over two decades. That’s also when I developed the Nation of Carrdia. Pannulus was developed in 2018.

That’s the big picture.

For specific locations, I create/research what I know I’ll need while the story is coming together. Sometimes ideas arise while drafting and I’ll note them. Any additions or tweaks happen during editing passes much later.

book dedicated to someone

Only once, and probably only ever once.

I published a book of poetry in 2014 that I dedicated to my counselor of six years, Don Bensen. He saved my life, he understood me, he “saw” me.

No counselor, or person, ever did before or after.

I also thank him in every book’s Acknowledgements. Without him, there’d be no Kovenlore Chronicles, no Ontyre, no me. When talking with him I felt alive. I miss that feeling so much.

assumptions

This links to my Weavers answer.

It’s long since I’ve had a personal conversation, and excessive time alone can leave a person questioning their existence, but I doubt this has changed.

That I write, or even that I create at all.

One exception was my counselor of six years, two decades ago. Don understood. Otherwise, I get a blank stare, even from family, even after all these years.

#WorldOfOntyre 09

I’ve been on a kick over the last year of rereading a few books first read +40 years-ago. The few rereads I’ve sprinkled in have, unfortunately, consistently disappointed.

Often, a lot.

Until now.

I just finished The Crystal Cave by Mary Stewart, the first in her Merlin series. It was better than remembered, my years of craft experience enhancing my appreciation for her skill.

Good day!

Sometimes, as in this time, there are places where so many needles have fallen that I had to guess where the trail was located.

This morning, I’m leaving as early as possible to purchase groceries. That way, I avoid traffic.

Just a quiet ride in dark.

Be everwell.

There was a great nation that spanned central Tremjara.

Aramon.

It was a place where all the peoples could come together in peace and share ideas.

But, over time, Aramon’s leaders lost faith in their nation, in themselves. It all stopped working and Aramon crumbled into history, its greatest city a wasteland.

It’s explained in Book 2 of the Kovenlore Chronicles, A River in Each Hand.

Good day!

Time for peace,
for quiet.
A moment to breathe,
to renew resolve.

Be everwell.
