April | 2011 | A Writer's Haven

So what have I been up to, you ask, that I have not been blogging?

Well, since finishing Son of Thunder I did slack a bit. I am catching up on some reading, and work around the house. I also did an edit on Dark Awakening for my agent, and I’ve been once again poking around on my Fantasy novel, Amulet of the Fallen God.

A couple of days ago I received a post card from Writers Digest about their upcoming Writers Competition and I’ve been thinking of entering something there. They are looking for Short Stories, under 4000 words, and I have a couple of ideas that I think I will see if I can flesh out in the next few days.

I will admit to being a bit disappointed and disillusioned that I haven’t been published yet, but almost every day I still push ahead with my writing. I still believe it’s coming.
Until next time,

Steve

Wow, has it really been over a month since I last blogged? Sorry about that.

Not much is happening right now. I did finish up my Novel, Son of Thunder and sent it of to my agent. There is still no movement on my previous two stories, Templar’s Gate and There’s no such thing as werewolves, but my agent is still hopeful that they will sell.

Over the past few weeks I’ve been doing some catch-up on things around the house, and relaxing a bit, but now I feel I’m ready to launch into a new project. I’m in the process of coming up with a couple of characters, a really high tree, and a big pile of rocks to throw at them once I get them up there. It would be fun.

I’m considering going back into the world of Templar’s Gate/Werewolf but place the story in a dark future. The main characters will be the children of the original two books. She is a witch who can change into a Warghan (Werewolf) and he is a battlemage who’s lived all his life in the demon dimension. The world we know will have become a dark and dangerous place, as the demons gain control of government and corporate interests and use them to gain wealth and power. It should be a great place to visit (read about) but I certainly wouldn’t want to live there.

So, I’m off to do a bit of writing. The first chapters are starting to solidify in my head. Time to get something down on paper.

Again, sorry for the long break from blogging, I will try to be more regular.

Steve
