I have been surveying various writer's websites and their associated blogs. I have found a trend that I found interesting trend among the majority of them that I would like to emulate. Most of them made use of a daily blog, with the entries entered in uncomplicated fashion by date. I have seen this used for several purposes, but I like it as a catch all for the things I am thinking about, dealing with, or participating in. So I thought I would create a page for that and start today.
I did want to give a shout out to a friend of mine that has graciously agreed to be a beta reader for me. You read my second draft of the opening part of the fiction piece I am working on that is loosely titled Incident at Moran right now. I appreciated your feedback and willingness to be a beta reader for me. Much appreciated. I will keep your identity on the downlow and protect your secret identity...
While on the subject, I am working on a new piece of fiction set in the Port Mooresby / Isla Sandris universe of fantasy fiction. It is about a team of monster hunters and more specifically one of the team that I have named Sylvia Kain. The details are rather fluid at this point, but it is set in the first person. And it will be about a village beset by a ghoul drawn from a mixture of sources, that is both honest to the Arabian mythic roots embodied in 1001 Nights, and somewhat in keeping with the current state of popular fiction on the subject.
It is a work in progress right now. I have torn it down and rebuilt several times at this point, and have redrafted the opening twice at this point. I am energized about it, and am enjoying doing the writing for it right now. I am unsure about the exact length right now. My goal is rather simple, to tell a complete tale from beginning to end. In the course of doing that if I can make the protagonist as genuine and realistic as possible that would be a bonus. I also want to write the encounter sequences as realistically as possible at the same time. I am hopeful I can accomplish all that. We will see...
