I am working on two stories right now, the mannequin one is sort of slow. I’m not sure how to begin it.
The main one I am working on combines science fiction AND fantasy.
My vampire hunter (old school, of course) story is stuck between a good start and a good ending.
lol
Those 2 things are an important part of a story, a beginning and an end.
Beginnings are easy. Tax-chick gives them to us all the time:
Jake is lying on the cement outside the kitchen,
and Tom the mockingbird is perched on the
wind chime barking, Jake! Jake!
bump
My characters as of late have actively worked to derail story progression.
That's why you have to have more than one iron in the fire. If they don't want to work, keep them on the sidelines.
Currently the state of things inside D-Sheare’s head:
There is a rabbitoid sitting in a tree, shaking.
His eyes are bugged out, he is gripping the tree with fingers and toes.
Below him on the ground sits a Pomeranian looking both stupid and “Ilove you!Bleorph yerk slobber!” and a little girl with pigtails and a polkadot dress, her hands on her hips.
She’s looking up at the treed rabbitoid and saying, “You look ridiculous up there, you know!”
Hello Darks!
I’m back!
Had a bit of trouble finding any familiar FReepers.
How is everyone doing and who is still with FR?
Is Darks writing a book?
Well... Arrowhead1952 was injured in a fall and is on the “in need of prayer” list, Mr and Mrs don o have had some scares lately, they can relate them if need be, JeanS passed away, and much more that needs to be related but doesn’t fit well in my terrible tyoping.
*ugh!*
Otherwise, Undead Thread is still there, but things are slow as no real worthwhile threads have appeared, trolls have been reticent to show up as we will malappropriate their threads..
One of three or four stories stuck in my head and refusing to come out.
I will keep Arrowhead in my prayers.
I was about to ask about the “Undead Thread”. looks like the trolls are catching on to the “hijacking” of their threads. lol!
I want to write a Sci/Fi story but I’m not good with the science stuff
Yes.
They have caught on to us.
So it looks like we will have to either beg a thread soon, or...I have to self post one for us to nest in for a bit.
Neither option is palatable.
I already did that for us once.
That one is found here:

NNB says I have good ideas.
Problem is, the hundreds of characters in my head seem to have voice, and they are a rather argumentive bunch.
I had one day where I had to threaten to go George R. R. Martin on the lot of them before they would behave.
[Charactercide, the least fave thing of an author. Unless you are George R. R. Martin. Then it is a pass time to off characters ever few pages.]
Heading out for the night.
Ugh.
This week has been hell.
I’ll explain tomorrow when I wake up.
Suffice to say, it has been constant running in circles to accomplish things.
Rats! I missed that thread!
I saw a post over there that mentioned “the flying castle”
It that thread still around?
Sorry, don’t mean to hijack this thread.
Have a good night Darks!
lol.
That could be part of a funny story. Give Bunnicula a run for his money.
You’re in the flying castle.
Heh heh heh.
