A writer, on writing.
I almost signed up for a Twitter account today. HEAVEN HELP ME. I hope my life is never so boring that I feel I have to talk about it incessantly. If I need to tell the Internet, and myself, that my life is interesting, that probably means I actually need to make my life more interesting.
If you're one of my friends that reads my friends-only posts, you probably know what a boy rant is. It's where I rant. About boys. And sometimes it's when I decide if I like a certain boy or not.
Well, this is a character rant. About my story characters. And in a way, it's a public service announcement. You'll see why in a minute.
I'm between books right now. Normally, that means delving into the next book to write, but seeing as I'm also in a transition between high school and college, I'm kind of taking it easy. Writing 43-page stories as opposed to 156-page stories. Very laid-back. By the way, these pages are single-spaced Times New Roman 12 pt. font. Little goes a long way.
These are the "short" stories that I'm working on this summer. They're really supposed to be fillers and character development, but they have really turned into something else:
"The Tree of Life: The Tale of Keene and Mildreth" Keene's an outgoing boy who's part hobbit. Mildreth is a shy girl who can do magic. They fall in love . . . all while trying to come to terms with their painful pasts, and keep their mutual friend Charlie out of trouble. Will their love pass the test of time??? Or at least be better than Bella/Edward???
"Strange and Beautiful: The Untold Tale of Brigid Lachlan" Brigid Lachlan is a sarcastic tomboy who wins over lead character Charlie McCormack's heart. But before she ever met Charlie, she loved and lost a best friend and has been wary of trusting boys ever since. This is her story of the events that defined her growing up.
"One of Us" When Akir McCormack and his wife Vivienne, a former Princess of the Faeries, are killed by a vengeful rogue, the Queen of the Faeries volunteers to look after and raise their son Charlie. As Charlie grows up, the Queen, now his Grandmum, notices something . . . odd about her grandson. Should she tell him about his heritage or wait until he is ready?
The odd thing is, these stories are supposed to be "short." As in, 20 pages, tops. But then they morph into longer stories that can surpass 50 pages, as the second one already has.
I'm already on my way to becoming a fantasy writer. I write too much.
