Join us as we explore the enchanting landscape of the Otherworld, its magical creatures, captivating lore, and the adventures that await Dori in R. Loomis's beloved novel, Touch of Kindness . Hello, readers! Happy Saturday! Touch of Kindness  by R. Loomis has been resonating with readers lately, and for good reason. The story follows Dori, a Texas teen, who is transported to the Otherworld—a magical realm full of fantastical creatures and romance. With fantastical creatures, royal intrigue, and Dori’s determination to get back home, this tale has captivated readers with its mix of adventure and heartfelt moments. In today’s blog post, let's navigate the wonders of the Otherworld and explore what makes it such an enchanting place. The Otherworld The Otherworld is not just a country. It is an entire realm of provinces, islands, and geographical wonders. From the icy cold of Iceltier to the desert wastes of The Barrens, the Otherworld is home to humans and magical creatures alike. While all the mysteries of the Otherworld have yet to be seen, here’s a sneak peek at what you might find if you were to grace it’s shores.   Everencia Everencia is the capital province of the Otherworld and the royal seat of the four worlds. Follow the golden road through quaint villages, green fields, and purple-leaved trees to the Everencian palace, home of Her Majesty Queen Cecilia Renaud and our future king, Prince Garret. Check out the royal stables to meet the unicorns, magnificent creatures with gentle temperaments and feisty personalities. Stop by the crystal Azurian Sea for a stroll on the sandy beach or jump into the cool waters for a quick swim. Just watch out for the mermaids as they have been known to drown sailors without provocation. Calynado Up the road from Everencia is the beautiful province of Calynado, home of the Calynado Restorative Refuge and the three lakes. A favorite of the royals, this province is full of relaxing villages, and features a multitude of spas. Each lake, pink, blue, and purple respectively, are sure to be a crowd pleaser to both families and couples alike.   Iceltier Farther to the north is the province of Iceltier, the coldest place in the Otherworld. Covered mostly by the Averfell Mountains, this icy province is filled with snowy villages, dense forests, and an amazing view of the stellar Otherworld night sky. Former home of our magnanimous Queen, Iceltier is a frozen wonderland that features creatures such as snow foxes and rakshasa beasts that grow as tall as trees. If you can stand sub-zero temperatures and frequent blizzards, Iceltier could be a wonderful place for a winter vacation.   Ovelcinthe Directly south of Everencia is the progressive province of Ovelcinthe. Fields of lavender, rustic ports, black sand beaches, and bustling cities dot the landscape of this southern region. A metropolitan wonderland and a harbor for bright minds, this province a real treat to visit and enjoy. Don’t be afraid to dress outside of your comfort zone because here, nothing is off limits. You could also rent a ship to visit one of the many islands of the Azurian Sea but hire a guide as some islands are less than friendly and the sea is filled with malevolent creatures. Overall, Ovelcinthe is a mixture of past and present and a feast for adventure lovers.   Brienellia Brienellia is the westernmost province, a land filled with forests, caves, and verdant valleys. One of the most conservative provinces, it is also borders the strangest place in the Otherworld. The Barrens is an empty wasteland of white sand and lightning storms. It would be unwise to travel beyond the Brienellian border as many who trespass into The Barrens quickly become lost in the desert. Stay clear of that region though and you will find Brienellia to be a peaceful province and an exceptional getaway. Traveling to the Otherworld is no easy feat, but if you happen to find the necessary token, take advantage of it. Come through the nearest barrier to enter a realm literally built out of magic.

Whether you're a seasoned novelist or just starting to craft your first short story, improving your writing is always a rewarding journey. We know that writing fiction can sometimes feel like trying to catch lightning in a bottle, so here are some simple, yet effective tips to help spark your creativity and enhance your storytelling skills. 1. Embrace the Power of Routine Creating a writing routine can be a game-changer. Set aside a dedicated time each day for writing, even if it’s just 15 minutes. Consistency helps build momentum and turns writing into a habit rather than a chore. Try to find a time of day when you're most alert and inspired, sit down, and write. 2. Show, Don’t Tell This classic piece of advice never gets old. Instead of telling your readers what’s happening, show them through actions, dialogues, and sensory details. For instance, instead of saying “John was nervous,” you might describe how his hands trembled as he fidgeted with his shirt collar. It’s these little details that pull readers into the scene and make them feel what your characters are feeling. 3. Craft Compelling Characters Your characters are the heart of your story, so give them depth. Spend time developing their backstories, motivations, and quirks. Ask yourself: What does your character want more than anything? What are they afraid of? Well-rounded characters with clear desires and fears will drive your plot forward and engage your readers. 4. Write What You Love Don’t be afraid to follow your passions. If you’re obsessed with fantasy worlds or captivated by historical settings, let that enthusiasm shine through in your writing. When you write about what excites you, your passion becomes infectious and will resonate with your readers. 5. Mix Up Your Writing Spaces Sometimes a change of scenery can ignite creativity. If you find yourself stuck, try writing in a different location. A cozy café, a sunny park, or even a different room in your house can provide fresh perspectives and new ideas. 6. Keep a Writer’s Notebook Inspiration can strike at any moment, so keep a notebook (or a note app) handy. Jot down interesting thoughts, snippets of dialogue, or story ideas whenever they come to you. These notes can be invaluable when you’re looking for that next spark or need to overcome writer’s block. 7. Read Widely and Often Reading isn’t just for pleasure; it’s a learning tool. By exposing yourself to different genres, styles, and voices, you’ll gain a broader understanding of what works and what doesn’t. Pay attention to what captivates you as a reader and think about how you can incorporate similar techniques into your own writing. 8. Don’t Fear Rewriting First drafts are rarely perfect. Embrace the rewriting process as an opportunity to refine and enhance your story. Allow yourself to make changes, experiment with new ideas, and polish your prose. Remember, the magic often happens during revisions. 9. Connect with Other Writers Join writing groups or online communities where you can share your work and receive feedback. Engaging with other writers not only provides support but also exposes you to different perspectives and constructive criticism that can help you grow. 10. Have Fun Lastly, remember that writing should be enjoyable. Try not to get bogged down by self-doubt or perfectionism. Let yourself play with ideas and enjoy the process of creation. The more fun you have, the more it will show in your writing. So there you have it—simple tips to help you on your writing journey. Your next great story is just around the corner!
