Sheppard Chronicles 6

Is now up. Go here to read it. In other news, I have another short story in the works. This one has been a little more difficult to write, but I'm sticking with it. I like the idea so much that I'm willing to put up with the struggles to write it. Also, I have two other short story ideas that I intend to work on in the near future that I have high hopes for. The first one is a comedic piece, which is a style that I have been wanting to do more with for a while. As for the second one, the basic idea has themes that are similar to those of Codex, but I'm not sure that I want to make it part of Codex yet. We'll see what happens when I sit down and start writing it.

Yet Another Sheppard Chronicles Story

I decided I needed to take a break from my novel in order to think up some more story ideas. As such, I pulled out an installment of The Sheppard Chronicles that I put aside to write episode 5. I like where this one is going. This one is from Luke Holloway's point of view, and it may well be the last one that is told through Luke's eyes. I have plans to for a few more installments, but I haven't decided on whether to make them first or third-person. One will be about Audra that takes place long after the death of Sheppard, and another will be the official, government account of Bill Sheppard (which will take quite some time to write, I have a lot planned for it). That one will obviously be in third-person. But I also want to write a story that takes place years in the future dealing with the key political figures introduced in episode 4 and I have no clue which narrative form I want for that story. We'll see.

Probe

Malach put up my latest story, Probe. Go check it out.
Also, I've been doing a lot of work on my novel, Prank. I'm close to reaching a point where I think that I have to wrap the story up. I'd prefer it be a little bit longer, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do extend the length of it. I've revised it a few times, and I'm not coming up with additional parts of the story. We'll see. I'd like to get it up to 175 to 200 pages, but I don't know if the story will let me.

Back To Prank

I started working on my novel again over the weekend. It's coming along well. It's up to about 115 or so pages, which is by far the longest story I've written since I started writing again during law school. I'm also letting an idea for a futuristic sci-fi piece roll around in my head. I put a little bit down on paper last night, but nothing too concrete. I'll keep you updated on the progress.

Monitor Is Up

Malach posted Monitor. I like the font for the title, but I'm still not sure what the background image is about. Glad that it's up. You should go read it, I think you'll enjoy it.
In other news, I'm almost done with the story I mentioned in my previous post. I may have it done today and off to Malach in time for the weekend. We'll see.

I Found Another Story

Over the weekend, I bought a desk and a bookshelf for my office. With those items in place, I cleaned up and organized the office. In doing so, I came across the rough draft of a story that I wrote two years ago, but never got around to editing/finishing/sending to Malach.
I sat down yesterday and typed it up. It's an odd little story, and I can't remember exactly what point I was trying to make, but I like it. It's a futuristic piece that has a little to say about advertising and just how far people are willing to go to sell products. I'm revising it now and I hope to have it done in a week or so. I still need a title. Thoughts, Meleah?

On Second Thought

I typed up my short story from high school. Ummm, yeah . . . Needs a lot of work. It's not terrible, and I think that if you read it, you would say that with a little work, this could be a pretty good story, but it really needs some work. I think what I am going to do is publish the original version, with some grammar corrections, and then write a new version and publish it. I like the basic idea, but it's not very effective as is. Also, it's pretty dark for an 11th grade short story. The word 'disturbed' comes to mind . . . :)
