Bleh:
Not had the time to do anything much with this place
recently. Sorry about that. Some new content though, as you can see
above. The Families is a story idea I actually had on Friday morning on the
train, so it's really quite a new one! Currently the idea is more just the
world than the plot, though characters are starting to populate my already
overcrowded mind. And characters have a way of telling me their own stories,
without too much input needed from me. So watch this space.
Black Dog vs Strange Things. That's an
interesting one. Strange Things is the working title for the first real
story I ever tried to write. I started it about ... oh, gosh ... 4 or 5
years ago now, and spent most of University struggling through the first 7
chapters of it before giving it up as a bad job. It was dead, totally.
Then, a strange girl walked into my head, Errin became Erran, and Black Dog came
insistently, irrepressibly to life; slobbering all over my sub conscious and
shedding hairs in my imagination. It's the same story as Strange Things,
but a mutant, dreamy, bizarre retelling. It's not written, and wont be for
sometime, but I'm already in love with it.
Dishova - these chapters have been written for a while now, but I never got
around to putting them up on here. I hope you enjoy them. The story
is coming along well. The characters have matured in my mind and certain
plot bits that were shadowy have started to make more sense. I'm confident
this will be a good story when it's told. In desperate need of revision of
course, but this is just the first, tender, naive draft.
