Vol 5: Chapter 8 – The first delve

I have been a bit under the weather lately, so I would like to give a heads up in advance. I was ahead on chapters for a while, but I finished today's chapter just the day before posting it. I hope to finish chapter 9 by next week, but if not, we'll take next week … Continue reading Vol 5: Chapter 8 – The first delve →

Vol 5: Chapter 7 – A decision made

Crawling out of the dungeon entrance came a monstrosity that would likely haunt the present soldiers’ dreams for centuries to come. Though that would only be the case if they were able to dodge its fangs bearing down on them. Mirgia was quick to react, having felt like something was wrong about a second before … Continue reading Vol 5: Chapter 7 – A decision made →

The Riftwar Cycle

Before I was a writer, I was an avid reader. I got into writing at quite a young age, but it was the stories that I read as a child that influenced me to start to make my own. And at a young age I was already drawn to the fantastical. Sometimes throughout my life … Continue reading The Riftwar Cycle →

Vol 5: Chapter 6 – Danger lurks

Mirgia and Doroly went to the location of the nearby dungeon on foot. Despite her smaller stature, Doroly was easily able to keep up with Mirgia’s larger strides. Mirgia had his bow slung over his back and a short sword at his belt. Doroly had a longsword on her belt. It was tucked in quite … Continue reading Vol 5: Chapter 6 – Danger lurks →

From the world of the Hesitant Hero: Redsan Village

In my effort to accomplish three different things at once, I’ll be talking about the world of the Hesitant Hero from time to time. The three things I want to accomplish with this are simple. I want to give myself some breathing room between chapters, which hopefully results in a better thought out story. Writing … Continue reading From the world of the Hesitant Hero: Redsan Village →

Trading inspiration for productivity

I have been writing for a very long time. I’ve likely talked about this before, but when I was still in primary school and my age was still single digits, I would go to our little writing club which I had with some other guys from my school. We would sit in one of our … Continue reading Trading inspiration for productivity →

Vol 5: Chapter 5 – Trouble Brewing

Mirgia woke up face down in the hay. His alcohol tolerance wasn’t what it used to be and he drank quite a lot during the cookout the previous evening. The sun was already up and one of the cows walked over to sniff his hair when he sat up. “Good morning sunshine,” he said to … Continue reading Vol 5: Chapter 5 – Trouble Brewing →

Vol 5: Chapter 4 – Dinner Stories

Seated between Teddy and Doroly, who were both very kind to him, Mirgia still couldn’t help but feel out of place. The smallfolk village had been incredibly kind to him so far, even as he wandered through Redsan itself many of the people had approached him and given him something to snack on or shared … Continue reading Vol 5: Chapter 4 – Dinner Stories →

Vol5: Chapter 3 – Thoughtful or instinctive

After wandering through town for a part of the afternoon and delivering the letters to the post office, who promised a safe delivery, but not a particularly quick one, Mirgia eventually made his way out of the town of Redsan and towards the home of Teddy and his wife. “If you leave the town on … Continue reading Vol5: Chapter 3 – Thoughtful or instinctive →

Vol5: Chapter 1 – Strange Lands

“Do you think he’s going to be okay?” The first thing Mirgia heard when his consciousness returned to him was the voice of what seemed to be a young child. He felt his body shake as the cart he found himself in traversed the rough road. He squinted in the harsh sunlight of the midday … Continue reading Vol5: Chapter 1 – Strange Lands →
