So, I’m currently writing around four full-length novels and dragging my feet when it comes to posting. I’ve debated the woes of copyright and neglecting one’s daily writing. Below is an update on my progress with three of my long stories:
“When You Don’t Know Something”
Word Count 9,848 Main/Secondary Characters Count 17 Chapter Count 6
“Okay”/”Oh Kay”
Word Count 37, 042 Main/Secondary Characters Count 35 Chapter Count 24
“The Religion of Romance”
Word Count 5,318 Main/Secondary Characters Count 16 Chapter Count 3
These are only the long stories I write with even a semblence of consistency. I have started other long stories, some as far back as years ago. I have one about a young girl who is sold into marriage to a big brute to pay off a family debt. I have another story set in an alternate dimension starring May Elizabeth Tallow, with wizards and royalty and love. Another one is one I started around the time I first became obsessed with Stephanie Meyer‘s Twilight. I had temporarily named it the Dusk of Twilight. It stars vampires and a half-black, half-Carib girl whose name is Dusk Maximum. It is very different from the Twilight saga of four books. Mine has practically no love involved, loads of body piercings, of battles, and of the history of the fey.
Of course, the long story I had started in third form had been the pride of my life. I will withhold the name for now, but it starred seven teenagers who were given divine powers; the garden of Eden; and pages of fight scenes. My main character was Christian, Francesca Flamses. A main character who walked the line between good and bad was an atheist. He was going to be the love interest of Francesca. That story has been put on hold. I had so many dreams for it, and so many things I wanted to do with it, but alas, I had put too much hope in it and I stretched it too much. I’ll let it simmer for a while longer, then I’ll pick it back up again and fall in love with it once more. I might start posting the chapters for that story as well, here .
Now, on to something more random. Controversial topics! They are the things that no one can agree on – ever!
– religion vs. spirituality
– spirituality vs. atheism
– the meaning of XOXO: hugs and kisses or kisses and hugs
– whether KFC increases the size of adolescent female’s breast size
– the validity of politicians
Until next time,
