Goodness! I have abandoned this blog for quite a long time!
I thought it would be best to give brief summaries of the stories I have been posting on here, tell about where they stand now, and discuss my plans for them. Something like this has been long overdue, and I don’t want to leave you in the dark about anything that is going on.
My works, in order of importance:
The Prophet of Einehrowaye – I have been posting this story a lot, so hopefully you have some idea now what it is about. For those of you who don’t know, it’s basically about a princess who goes in search of God with the help of a prophet. Hence the title.
First of all, Einehrowaye is difficult to spell and almost impossible to pronounce. I am thinking I am probably going to rename this work so that my readers can at least say it without tripping over themselves. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
This novel still has 64,000 words.
I haven’t been working on this story for over a month, and I am not exactly anxious to return to it. I don’t know what exactly is keeping me away, but I’m not even trying to get past it. I am too busy trying to finish Tears for the Silent Lands.
I have an announcement to make concerning this story: because of copyright issues, I have decided not to post any more of this story. I will post the final piece of chapter 2, but after that there won’t be any more. I am sorry, but there is really no way around this. I want to publish my story sometime in the future, and to post more of it now would be to violate future copyright agreements.
Tears for the Silent Lands – My NaNoWriMo 2008 novel, which won with 68,000 words! It now has 73,000 words, and I am still trying to get it finished sometime in the near future. It is the story of Mirriae, the last of the elves. Unfortunately, I won’t be posting very much of this story either. However, I will be posting a few excerpts, just to give you an idea of what it is like.
The Heart of the Wyrkind – If you recall, I posted the first chapter in its rough form. Last time I saw it, it was 5,000 words long, riddled with clichés, and devoid of any redeeming characteristics. I may keep toying with it, and if I do I will be sure to post more of it. I don’t have a very high opinion of it, so don’t expect much. I can’t even tell you exactly what it’s about. I think it’s about this girl with magical capabilities. I would be hard-pressed to tell you anything else.
The King of Writer’s Block – This is a story I started right before NaNoWriMo, that is at 3,000 words currently. It is a humorous story about a king who outlaws teenage authors because he believes that they produce literary junk, and the 15-year-old girl brave enough to defy him. I plan on posting it, because I think you would enjoy it!
The Absence – This is a fanfiction oneshot for A Tale of Two Cities that I recently wrote! I posted it on fanfiction.net, and you can see it by going to my fanfiction profile, or by just clicking this link. Be sure to leave a review!
And now for those stories that are currently just ideas floating around in my brain:
Iacopo – The story of a fat Italian prince. More I cannot say, because it would ruin the plot, but it is better than it sounds!
The One that was Left Behind – A fanfiction story about Susan Pevensie after her whole family was killed in the railway accident.
There are many ideas that have been rolling around in my head, but they aren’t clear enough to tell you about. Anyhow, that is the basic overview of my writing life at the moment! There is much I have done, and much that I have yet to do! Please bear with me as I try to discern what course my writing life is going to take!
Blessings,
~Cherise
