Well I got my internet up and running so that's good. Writing plans are the same, finish The Life of Baromir in a few days and sit on it to look at it again. After that maybe some #kindlevella work and so on as I feel like the Tales of Baromir universe could use some more books, much like my #militarySF books. On that note I do have a 5th Kommando book I want to write for the Eagle Hammer Universe series that has so few books in it.

50795 words for The Life of Baromir. It's getting close to the end my friends. I figure by Sunday or next Monday I should finish the book and then get it checked out and then uploaded and done. Since I like what I wrote I may do some #kindlevellas in the same universe, or write another book, who knows? But I have to work on the #MilitarySF side too, with some ideas I've had.

#WordWeavers Gay 7 - Why did your villain become a villain?

For Days of Baromir it was mainly power, and the desire to run the province "better" than the king that was already managing it. For my #MilitarySF stories it's a toss up between simple don't like the "good guys" to avenging a wrong perpetrated against them or him.

This is a record for me this month as I usually have made about 300 reads. I've put myself out there more and wrote a fantasy story, which has been more popular than my #militarySF stories. Then again I pimp Streets of Destiny (Which you should check out) more so that's one reason, but I like this figure today.

#WritingWonders Day 30 - Have you ever planned to kill a character and not done it?

I've sparingly killed off characters, usually low-key and not fleshed out characters like my MC. I try and give them some depth but so far I've bounced ideas of killing MCs too. But I usually don't as they need to drive the story, with the exception of my #MilitarySF stuff, where I can (and will) replace my MCs with other people, because that is realistic in a military unit.

#WritingWonders Day 27 - Antagonist POV: What do you like the least about the place where you live?

For the most part I think the antagonists just don't like moving around in the case of my #MilitarySF story. As far as Days of Baromir the antagonist didn't like the fact that he was too far from the castle of the king he was trying to overthrow. He wished he could have been closer than across the province.

#WritingWonders Day 25 - What does your MC never want their parental figure or mentor to know?

Kim doesn't really hide much from her parents so I'm not sure if this applies to her. I think however, she doesn't want to let them know that killing doesn't bother her too much, as she sees it as a necessary thing, and not unnatural. For Baromir its that he's killed and he feels that somehow is wrong to say to his father, who in reality knows he has to kill

35822 words for The Life of Baromir. I figured that it would make more sense to bring the characters to the Great Land Council than spend another "night" with talk. I mean this and the previous books has the most dialogue I've ever written in my #MilitarySF books. I had a dialogue issue (wasn't enough) and now I'm making conversations left and right. Oh well.

#WritingWonders Day 16 - Give an example of a popular activity or tradition in your world

I don't have many traditions written to be honest. I do have in my #MilitarySF stories that when somebody dies, the platoon he or she was in has a ceremony and not the whole Troop.

I think the tradition of my fantasy party is that they always go to an inn or tavern and drink ale. Famir likes to get piss drunk (though it's rare when he's adventuring) when he's at home.

#WritingWonders Day 15 - What parts of your world do you want to keep tourists from? Why?

Most of the Independent Planets in Kim's/Shane's world is fraught with conflicts left and right. The nations that represent known human space keep the conflicts down, but overall it's a hostile galaxy.

Baromir's planet is the same, there are spots where you want to avoid going to due to the criminals and the like are there.

#fantasy #MilitarySF

#WritingWonders Day 14 - What parts of your world you recommend a tourist to visit? Why?

Let's see Kim and Shane's universe? Any planet that has tourism and isn't beset by war or any other conflict. The known human universe is settled so there are marvels and the like.

In Baromir's universe there's the various towns, such as Anniva, which is a coastal city, and Dormir City is peaceful for tourists to visit and such.

26398 words for The Life of Baromir. So far a Firefly-esque horse riders rolling up on the party to collect "What is due." Unlike most of the fight scenes I write, it's a little bit more orchestrated as I figure out more ways to write a fight scene. With #MilitarySF it's more of a gun battle and pretty predictable results. Here I have to really choreograph the moves so it's at least half-believable.

#WritingWonders Day 7 - What does your MC see when they look out their bedroom window/door?

Kim sees the neighborhood she lives in now that she's staff and not a combat commander.

Shane doesn't see much as he wishes he had a window to look out of since he lives mainly on a spaceship.

Baromir sees the farmland that him and his father take care of during the summertime.

#WritingWonders Day 5 - Does your MC have any pictures of themselves with their friends or family? Why/Why not?

Kim would be the one who can't have pictures of her family or friends that were in the dimension that she came from, because it would start questions that shouldn't be asked. For Shane he has plenty of pictures stored on his device of his friends and family, because he lives in the same dimension that Kim lives in, and didn't cross dimensions.

#MilitarySF

16884 words for The Life of Baromir. Not much but more ale conversations and other related topics. They travel abstractly and I have to fill the book with conversations. I think the plot is solid, just have to fill it with conversations, and the Baromir books have really stretched my conversation ability. I don't write much conversation in my #MilitarySF books, but I guess I have to do it with #fantasy
