Hi guys!! I have 1000 posts now! This was going to be my 1000th, but i accidentally spent it on the theater kids thread. So this is 1001!
To celebrate, I wanted to share some writing with you guys, and hopefully gain some feedback and critique? Feel free to be harsh, as long as it's constructive. I'd really like to get better
To start, here's a short story I wrote during the shard's month of prompts (someone me didn't realize aes had already posted a prompt and posted another, thus resulting in the combination of these two prompts: "A hungry soul" and "The children are gone. Something is taking them."):
Just an fyi, I'm not usually that dramatic in my writing. I wrote this one sleep deprived at three AM (when i am at my most profound lol) so please have mercy on it ;-;
I wrote another one about chickens (also at three am) that was absolutely bizarre so i'm not going to share it. i honestly have no memory of even writing it, but when i woke up it was posted in the month of prompts thread, and when i read it through, i was mildly concerned. BUT ANYWAY
Here's the main thing i wanted to share. It's a prologue, or first chapter, maybe, of something that has only been written in my head. By that i mean i haven't put anything down on paper for backstory, magic, plot, nothing except this. There is very little plan for where it's going, so if any of y'all liked it i thought it could be a sort of choose your own adventure thing? Though i do have a few specifics in mind. Also, don't expect particularly frequent updates, because unlike the fabulous @CalanoCorvus i am a very slow writer. (oh btw doomie pls read this stuff i wrote :333)
No name yet... something circular, most likely. Ring. Hehe like the doorbell
Alright... whatcha think? (you can be completely honest it's ok)
Also, here's a list of other things i'm working on (though i don't have enough concrete writing to share yet):
- A sort-of steampunk trilogy about an engineer who's discovered a way to produce insane amounts of power and needs to keep it away from a powerful gang, ft. her mildly evil super rich bff and her flight-obsessed head-in-the-clouds gf
- a religious-fiction novella (but not the way you're thinking, probably- actually i might be misusing that genre name) about a girl whose life slowly but steadily descends into chaos after a new guy moves in across the street
- a book about a group of people who live alone with chaotic, sometimes malevolent spirits, but something much bigger is going on that one of them- the one who was accidentally put in charge of communicating with the spirits when she was way to young- is starting to figure out
- a book about a magic circus that is being disgustingly corrupted by a possessed ringmaster
Which one(s) sounds the most interesting? (i can't promise immediate progress, of course. In fact, i can't promise any progress at all, really, but knowing one of them is particularly interesting to someone might inspire me to focus on it.)
