and here is the snippet
The common plight for any man at the peak of his talent is never really being in a situation that best exploits his ability. That was, for a long time, Tadiwa Kaunda’s dilemma. Being the eldest in a family of 3 kids and having the comfort of supportive parents didn’t waver the question at hand. What should I do with my skills? This was the coming of age question that the teenager desperately wanted to answer, one that his peers assumed he already knew. As an amazing talent, he had much given to him and much was going to be expected from him in his life. Tadiwa grew up in a country where the arts industry wasn’t as well established as in other countries. Zimbabwe was not concerned with the fine arts: luxury goods were not a priority and most of the career options were limited to graphic design, interior design, architecture and web design. There was nothing entirely wrong with these other options, but Tadiwa was an anomaly to human standards of capacity. His parents could never figure out how he was able to understand complex harmonies of art such as proportion, perspective, patterns, planes, placement, consistency, contours, conception, construction, and character, at the tender age of 7 years. He was, clearly gifted; even entering adult classified painting competitions at 9 and winning. The next Picasso, Michelangelo and so forth, was in the making and nothing could stop him. With his fervent zeal, he was introduced to comics, both from the west and eastern side by his mother. This propelled him to discover a new interest, one he was also dominate in: his hands, breathed life into the pages he touched, leaving an aura of his prowess that left many who glimpsed at his work with awe and insurmountable euphoria. Even in a country where art was mostly a hobby interest, the onlookers couldn’t help but acknowledge that the boy would eventually break the stigma that came with art in the country. As a youth, none of the complexities and connotations that were associated with art never reached his peripheral. He was a boy driven by his passion, and like a surge of energy, it overflowed to grand heights. This made him quite popular among his peers in primary school and even among some of the girls. Pulling off 3minute portrait illustrations for each request he got from his classmates and using his pencil’s led dust to do the facial tones to achieve realism in his art, made him popular. Tadiwa’s father noticed the appeal his son had and decided to monetize his son’s art for a while, playing the middle man to his child’s clientele. This however didn’t go on for far too long because of his mother’s insistence to have her son do other things other than just spending complete days just drawing. In the end, her female intuition was for the best, and the boy learned to do things outside his comfort zone.

Dear Spellbook (Rewrite)
Live. Study. Repeat. Tal never saw himself as an adventurer, but the call to adventure never much cared for his opinion. Despite his best efforts, his search for answers on the murder of his parents ever draws him into danger. Accompanied by a group of seasoned warriors, thus far Tal has gotten by on his own meager magical talents, but when one day he wakes up to find himself back in his bed of the night before, he is faced with a challenge he must conquer alone. What to expect: This story was born of an attempt to create in world lore reasons for many of the mechanics and tropes of D&D, but you do not need to know of them to enjoy the story. It's a single POV time loop story with slow paced progression fantasy elements. The story is not one of fast-paced power ups and non-stop action, but as it progresses, the action picks up. There is a lot of magic system exploration on a system built to unify the diverse magic of D&D into one cohesive magic system. The setting is an original world with familiar races and monsters but with new unique origins and motivations. The average chapter will be 2-5k words long, most being around 3k but there are a few less than 1k, due to the nature of the story telling device I used. Book 1 is complete. Posting is on hold until I finish book 2. Book 2 progress: The rough draft is done at 141656 words as of 7/9/2022. I need to reread and edit it but Im aiming for resuming chapters in September.

Praise for Awakening: If you love Anne McCaffrey, J.R.R. Tolkien and Tad Williams, then Awakening is a novel you will surely want to pick up. D.N.Frost is a consummate world-builder with a knack for creating characters that are complex and three-dimensional. Frost writes with graceful prose that is descriptive and well-edited. The plot is fast-paced and entertaining. What really sets this novel apart is the cartography, which is a spectacular accomplishment. Incredible world-building! - M.L. Spencer, author of The Rhenwars Saga ★★★★★ This novel was published in 2014, and it includes 19 antique watercolor maps! Check them out: Maps of Awakening: an atlas directory
