Our First Ask Me Anything

Sep3 by The Shadow

Answers Written By Damien Knight

Shade of Writing AMA Link

Hello, I am Damien, the head blogger of our family blog The Shade of Writing. We are a home-school family of writers that love to travel. We write on various topics such as education, philosophy, poetry and history. We also have a Twitter, an Instagram and a YouTube.

I write poetry and share drafts of my novel when I am not in classes at the local university. My kids post their writing assignments from their books and papers on topics that interest them. My spouse travels for his job and most of our travel and food reviews are from him. We all are open to questions so ask away.

Serialised Novel

Jul26 by The Shadow

By Damien Knight

I had decided to post my novel one chapter at a time here as I work on it. Originally I had it published it on Amazon.com but withdrew it for it’s many errors. I will be republishing once all edits on the novel are finished. It will be available as a full Novelette on Amazon at that point unless Inkitt ends up publishing it. I will post another blog announcing when it is republished.

I cannot guarantee a time schedule for these serialised chapters. I am working hard on them, the Aldaria Journals and Restaurant reviews. I am doing my best to keep content coming.

I am amazed at how well received my writings thus far have been. I will continue to post daily at least one poem. I am grateful for all those who have been reading regularly so far.

Hope for an Era: Prologue (Rough Draft)

Jul24 by The Shadow

By: Damien Knight Prologue “Come listen to my tale, lest we forget the horrors of the Dragon Wars.” -Mika Tsuki Once, long ago, Earth was a magical place where the inhabitants had honoured the “Gods” and Dragons. In return, we blessed them by living amongst them and guiding them. Together we lived in harmony with the pulse of the planet. As time passed, humans lost touch with Earth and her…

Tale of Arajuan

Jun27 by The Shadow

By Damien Knight

Death destruction immortal verse
This is the life of one mans curse
Walking forever this dreaded earth
In a dead mans body regretting birth
/
Waking in the shadow lands
An evil man saved my hands
My empty red eyes could not see
What was about to become of me
/
Magic murdered and dragons slayed
By My black and bloody hands day by day
Then came a young lady elf so fair
To Ellewyn my life I sweared
/
A child born and an assassin I became
My life from then never the same
Then evil Gorik stormed my parade
And stole my lady’s life away
/
I swore from then his death I’d see
Would be done by none other then me
Unwillingly I served his mad dream
Him not knowing of my scheme
/
More dragons died but one I spared
Now was the time I was prepared
with Blackheart I would stand strong
My plans now could not go wrong
/
The death of Rork and Moonlash Gone
To the Lady Anika I was Drawn
Her cause was mine and mine was her dream
To be rid of Gorik was our scheme
/
And so together we were bound
no better pair could be found
An army raised to help the deed
This world would soon be freed
/
From the curse that started by my hand
I would erase evil from the land
From evil good would come about
From death life would show inside out

(An old poem I wrote covering my novel. )
