《Dreaming (BWWM)》DAY DREAM💭

"Isn't that great news?!"
I know Mrs. Campbell means well, but she always wanna be putting me in places I don't seem to give a fuck bout.
"Uhh yes?!" I said uncertainly
"Amiyah I know change bothers you. I also know about your family problems. Going to a school like Lexington Academy will increase your chances of going to a GOOD school. Plus students who attend Lexington are exposed to more scholarships. "
What made me upset was how true it was. Brooklyn Heights isn't a school that will give me more opportunities. Lexington will. Despite what I've heard about that school, I guess I can put aside my pride and play nice with a bunch of rich white folk for 2 years.
"What do you say?"
"Yea I'll go"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today has been a long day for no reason. Maybe it's because I couldn't stop thinking about life at Lexington. How do you go from going to a school like Brooklyn Heights to the most prestigious school in the state?
"I see your back early!
" Well, you didn't really think I would rely on you to come to pick me up on time did you?"
" I'm glad you learned your lesson", he said smirkingly.
" Eli, Where's mom?"
"Oh she said she was working night shift"
"Oh"
I wanted to tell her about Lexington Acadamy. I'm a bit nervous to tell her because Lexington Academy is an hour away and that would mean I would have to stay with my dad because he lives closer to Lexington Academy.
I didn't want to do this without my mom. She's been there for me through every difficult decision. I want her here for this. I decided to tell her the news tomorrow morning.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today was the day I was gonna tell my mom about Lexington Academy. I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty excited when Mrs. Campbell told me about transferring there. Brooklyn Heights wouldn't give me the same opportunities there. I would get more scholarships at Lexington, and overall I would be taken seriously. Most people think that students who go to BH are lazy and dumb as fuck. Which is true. People who go to BH are dumb as hell. I didn't want to fall under that stereotype which is why I worked twice as hard at that school.

When I got downstairs I saw my mom washing the dishes.
"Morning Ma" I smiled.
"Good Morning Miyah" she smiled back.
"Mom, I wanted to tell you something last night, but Eli told me you were working".
" Yea I took night shift last night. What did you have tell me?"
"Uh... my counselor, Mrs.Campbell, said that she thinks it would be good for me to transfer to Lexington Academy." I said
"Lexington Academy!" She yelled
"Yes"
"Do you know how much money it cost to go to a school like that? I've been working double and late shifts, but that's not gonna be enough to send you to Lexington".
"My grades can get me a full ride there for two years"
" I don't know Amiyah.,... it's an hour away from here. I can't drive you an hour away and then drive to go to work.
"I know. That's why I was hoping I could possibly live with dad during this time".
My mom was quiet for the longest time. My feet were feeling weak. I was hoping she would say something. Anything. I know I was asking too much of her.
"Are you sure about this?"
"What?"
"Are you sure you want to attend Lexington Academy?"
"Yes."
There it was again. The long silence.
"Okay... I'll talk to your father"

Saga of the Jewels VOLUME ONE COMPLETE
Prefer to listen to rather than read Saga of the Jewels? I'm also releasing it as a free audibook serial podcast on iTunes here! Epic YA JRPG-influenced GameLit progression ensemble-cast steampunk romance fantasy! When Ryn’s hometown is destroyed, will he be able to gather together the twelve Primeval Jewels in order to defeat the evil Emperor and save the world of Mid? A fan novelization of an amazing Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist, that currently releases at least one chapter a month. Epic in that this will be very long. “It’s a marathon, not a sprint!” (-Kandaj) YA in that this should be enjoyable to~13-year-olds and upwards. Some gore, some swearing, some sex, but nothing more than PG-13. JRPG-influenced / GameLit in that it uses lots of JRPG tropes, particularly from Final Fantasy. I’ve read a lot of fan Final Fantasy novelisations and you can basically think of this as a fan novelisation of its own Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist as a game... Progression in that the characters level up over time (though not with visible litrpg stat boxes). They grow in ability through training and experience, gain new skills, individually and as a party (think Chrono Trigger) and spend time discussing and stratgeising about how to defeat their opponents. Main protagonist from book three would definitely be able to defeat himself from book one! Ensemble-cast because we've got quite the roster of misfits here. The first volume is all from the main protagonist's POV, but it starts dancing between his and different POVs thereafter. Steampunk in that we’ve also got airships, steam trains, pistols and ambiguous ‘amber bars’ that function a bit like artificial lights… Romance in that there is lots of shipping here, a few love triangles, and you may be kept guessing as to who will actually end up together... Fantasy in that we’re in a vaguely pre-modern setting. We’ve got swords, magic, dragons, dungeons, monsters, all that good stuff. * "This story captures that Final Fantasy quality perfectly. Kiddy but also grim. The characters are great... Severely underrated and needs more favorites/follows. I look forward to seeing how this story will unfold." -Gilgamesh9999 "Starting at the end and jumping backwards is not a writing style seen every day. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but you've executed a fairly crazy idea very skillfully so far. Overall, a strong start to what could be a very strong story." -RandomFF.netUser "You definitely have my interest piqued. It'll be interesting to see where the story goes... It definitely has an 'old school Final Fantasy' type feel to it, which I appreciate...Good job! I am glad you are going into more details about the story you laid out in the prologue...of course the big burning question is 'You know they lose in the the first chapter, so how will they end up winning?' That of course, is the story you're writing...so we'll see how it goes! #Following." -KyleQuicksilver (quotes are from reviews on other sites) * If you enjoy it, don’t forget to boost Saga of the Jewels on topwebfiction.com!

The Many Blades of Wuxia
Hundreds of years after the Heretic wars ended, life has returned to its blissful ignorant state that only peace could bring. Whilst the never-ending war between Man, Beast and Mutant rages on, most are not even aware of a war that happened between men. Its prophecies shattered, their remnants surviving only in obscure bard tales. One is about to grow. On the cracked face of the world, Essence storms and Beast Waves keep the citizenry locked atop the Emperor city of Qaelang. Knowledge of the past is as rare as the metals that flow into the hands of Sacred Artists and at the root of it all are whispers of a malignant force, ancient and terrible. Holding humanity back from achieving greatness, but hiding too are secrets best left untouched. Balance, discipline and order have held Qaelang secure since time immemorial, the powers within claiming to adhere to them. None are more fearful of change than the ones with the most to lose, but change is coming. Blade of Wuxia is a long character-focused epic fantasy with progression and growth. It's about a boy's quest to become powerful enough to save those he cares most for and give them a better life. It's set in a world of hidden pasts and uncovering them will set him on a path that shakes the Empire. As this is a rewrite that took on a wildly different spin, reviews are most welcome and help me do better. What can the reader expect? A Wuxia society set in a High fantasy world. People are only doing what they know and may have mistaken beliefs. A clever resourceful protagonist with human flaws A far-reaching hidden fantasy world, rich in history. Multiple points of view are used to follow the story to its natural conclusions, not every NPC has all the answers, but there is one MC in this book. Progression will take time and sometimes even unknowingly. MC is not trained in the ways and knowledge must be tempered against experimentation. Release Schedule. 2 chapters a week, family and work permitting. Only if I'm happy with the chapter will I release it. That being said I am open to revision should an articulated critical response show merit. This story is not completed yet but I do have a general idea of what the end looks like for both MC's (yes both) Ultimately feedback will be most influential on the progression of release as it's you guys I'm looking to entertain. Expected Changes None really, I'm writing as I go and have a path planned for 6 books Chapter release rate might change if we take off and feedback starts flowing, but for now, it is just about making sure Arcs flow smoothly onto the next. Cover, yes absolutely! If there is enough interest I will open a Patreon account and use the first proceeds to commission an EPIC cover and hopefully a few scary artworks of our brave Cultivators and the foes they face.

Shadow Falls
If you wanted to protect someone you loved, how far would you go, and what would you be willing to sacrifice? This question is at the core of this emotional rollercoaster of the book, Shadow Falls: the Rise and Fall of Erida VanIsle. This book emerged from four years of collaborative storytelling centering on the main character, Erida VanIsle, written by author Myra VanIsle. In this book, VanIsle goes beyond the events that led to Erida's sacrifice and explores forty-five years of the cost she paid to protect the sister she loved more than life itself. Shadow Falls explores the family tragedy which led to the separation of two sisters on completely different paths polar opposite of each other. While Erida set upon a path of darkness and power, Myra set out to be a beacon of light and hope bringing justice and peace to others. Be warned, the story VanIsle tells is dark and not easy, because you can't have the light without the dark.
