Sweetwater

Still working on a short story called Sweetwater. It is going well. I think I have found a style that is good writing, but don't take too long and has good readability.

I did notice last night, regarding my writing performance, that it fell into a grove of speed, accuracy, and excellence. It was interesting and I did my best to keep the grove going. Don't eat. Make sure to go to the bathroom early, and instead of listen to music, wear ear protection headphones. Like the ones the street workers use when jackhammering. No music, no distractions (yeah right). But take a break for a minute or two with a glass of water.

This kept it going for about 3 hours of good, fast work.

Increasing presence on Scribd.com

Been making some excellent connections with talented people on Scribd. Amazing to see that there are so many good authors out there who are, sadly, unknown. I think, perhaps, the greatest writers in history are in fact that.

Anyways, moving forward. I hope i am doing the right thing here. I really want to be successful with my writing. Which, as I am reminded almost daily, is difficult and sometimes appears to be hopeless. But carry on and all that right?

I'm not doing it to make money. I'm simply doing it because I must. If money comes, cool. I'll take it. But for now I'm just trying to have fun.

New Story: King Angus

All,

This is a fantasy thing that I started a while back. It consentrated on city to city relationship gone soar, spawning war after war. King Angus is the old ruler of Drezli, a mining city near the mountains and surrounded by heavy forests. His son, William, is also in the story but not in this short. There are two more parts which are much larger.

Follow the picture to read-
