An Update And Inspiration

Hey everybody! It's Crimrose4All, actually keeping up with her blog :O Imagine that. I'm a huge procrastinator, so you know, so actually updating blogs like this is a big step for me. 

I'm writing today to give the followers of Rune Knight: Shining Armour an update. I'm currently writing Chapter XIV as quickly as I can, slow as it is, and I think it'll be done soon :) I just have to add a few finishing touches and details, then it'll be ready to post on both FictionPress (http://www.fictionpress.com/s/3088931/1/Shining-Armour) and Noveljoy (http://noveljoy.com/articleInfowithcomment?id=867). This chapter is all about Valerie, my main character, and Christian, the hot guy she's been travelling with, adventuring through the Region of earth, Wyldyet. They encounter strange beings and get into danger on their way to see the Guardian, the god of Wyldyet, but somehow it just ends up drawing them closer. What awaits these two in the depths of the enchanted forest...?

Now, some of you may already know this, but on top of being a starving author and an avid reader, I'm also a bit of an artist. My characters provide a lot of muse to me, so whenever I'm listening to a song that I feel expresses the story or if I get sudden inspiration, I will draw them :3 I'm definitely not a professional, but hey, I try. So here's a picture I sketched today:

Yes, I draw anime, sue me. I may not be very good at it, but I love doing it very much :) In case you wanted to read the small words that I happened to stick with it, here's what they say:



However, the further we move ahead, the stronger the wind gets, 
And so the flame of hope starts to go out. 
"Hand over the light!" The people scramble for it, 
And once it comes to this, people kill each other, 
Their tears dried.
Notice it.
Your eyes are for acknowledging each other. 
Your voice is to convey your feelings. 
Your hand is to hold with the one who is precious to you.
I can hear this song coming to me.
All of you who have nowhere to go,
Hope is in your hearts
Because even in blazing flames,
It gives you a strength
That will never be scathed.
Are those things you tried to protect
The things you truly loved?
You gaze at your hand dyed in crimson
And finally realize the foolishness you have committed,
Admit it to be a mistake, and
Cry without an end for your sins

This is a song by EGOIST, called The Everlasting Guilty Crown. It's one of my favourite songs, and here's a link if you want to check it out:

So yeah, that's pretty much all I have for an update today :) Thanks for reading, and I hope that you'll at least look at Shining Armour! Happy reading to all!

Excelsior!
