The latest in my series of revisions. After this I intend to focus more on the new pieces I am producing.
Before They Were Legends Part One and Part Two
The latter only needed a touching up, but I think I have quite improved the other two. In fact, the next post should be the much-belated third entry in “Before They Were Legends.”
I cleaned up a couple more of my old short stories.
It Was Just a Little Scrap, Really
I actually revised the latter yesterday, but I didn’t want to make a post for just one story. “It was Just a Little Scrap, Really,” is one of the first stories I posted here. The very first of my super hero works on here, even if it wasn’t the first one I wrote. It isn’t the first time I updated it either, but it needed it.
Took the time to clean up a few old short stories while I’m working on other projects. Expect a few more revisions in the days/weeks ahead.
Some Heroes are Born, Some are Made, and Others Sort of Fall Into It
The A-List, Ladies and Gentlemen
They all happen to be from my “Heroes and Villains” universe, where I equal parts satirize and delight in the tropes of super hero fiction.
Don’t listen to the website heading, by my clock this is still technically a post for December! A continuation of “Getting Out Those Sulphur Stains,” as promised. The characters here can’t really banter, so most of the humor is found in monologues. I’m a little afraid I am telling more than I am showing, but I tried to layer the satire a little. I hope you can find something to enjoy in my little story about princesses and dragons. The third chapter should be coming along soon, hopefully faster than this one. Consider it my New Year’s resolution: to write more, and specifically to update here more regularly.
Also, Mills’ accent. I don’t usually write characters with a strong accent, because it can swiftly become cumbersome and irritating. I think I’ve found a good balance for Mills, but I’m not as consistent as I would like. I attempted to mutilate a few accents, particularly Cockney and a little deep American South, into something different. Unfortunately, that means even I have a hard time sounding it out in my head. It’s a work in progress.
