There is a quiet strength in how you hold this moment. The stillness between Baasim and his mentor carries more weight than the dialogue itself. You allow the reader to feel the threshold before it is crossed, and that restraint makes the reflection land even deeper.
Just so you know, I'm doing a new schedule for my releases where very Wednesday I realse something, next week is a poem, and two weeks after that is the next snippet.
I do appreciate the enthusiasm, it really means a lot to me!
Ooh, I really like the idea of a set schedule like that. That’s classy. I’ve been doing a post a day roughly while I get my backlog up but I should commit to a schedule of some sort as well—thanks for the inspiration. Looking forward to the poem!

The human tension here was a good challenge to make, I'm so glad it worked out!
Definitely did
The purpose to fight? I like it. I think of my purpose for anything. I feel a little better after.
This piece feels like a beautifully-written high fantasy novel. You have amazing world-building!
Thank you so much!
Most of the novel is fairly gritty, so this being towards the middle of the book will probably provide some relief.
Ooo so cool! Interspersing lighter moments like these throughout your novel is a great idea , strikes a good balance! Great job 👏
Great article!!
Ooh, this is beautifully arcane; you can feel the magick in it. Looking forward to more...
Thank you, I'm glad you're interested in it!
I wrote various flash fictions to use as flashbacks in the novel, and I'll be posting more of them here, so keep the frequency!
Marvelous! I'll keep an eye on my inbox!

So far the schedule helps me get a bit more organized and saves time for other things, its pretty nifty!
From a distance, everything looks peaceful. Closer, we know better. This piece understands both at once.
Great article!
