And I'm back again. Just finished my coffee and reading your stories.. Amazing how you manage to describe these different ( very human ) characters who seem to live in different world and times, adding these tiny details that reveal that they are actually creatures, but hey, aren't we all?
P.S. You are ( still ) a great writer, even though you mentioned lately that you were better in the past. I'm impressed :>)
Aww thanks ^_^ I'm glad I'm still all right XD
additionally when I wrote novels more frequently I also edited the crap out of them, the short stories that I post here generally barely get to cool down and most of the editing I do is trying to catch spelling/grammar and anything too repetitive XD
They're in the same world (and possibly on a slightly alternate history to us, kind of in our far future but still on planet) but slightly different times to each other. As I was explaining to another friend, Zara, Dak and Zul'jinn are 11 in their pieces and the twins are 16-17; Zul'jinn is a year older than Zara and Dak and the twins are a year older again :)
Cool! Thanks for the explanation :>)
Did you actually finish novels and ever managed / dared to publish?
I'm very curious.
I have, and some were "published" (all of one copy printed out and bound with cover illustration by me and sitting on my sister's bookshelf at our parents' house XD). After that the only one that I've finished and "published" online is a collab fanfic with a friend. No idea how interesting that would be for you though XP The early chapters are seriously rusty. I'm currently flicking through it myself and hoping it gets better in later chapters as I haven't read it for a while and am finding places that needs a bit more polishing XD I did spend some editing and polishing time on it but not as much as I usually would for something this long as while I did want to do a reasonably good job with it, I also wanted to keep working on my thing.
Cool! I recently told a Steemian, who learnt I'm a filmmaker, that yeah, I got some older films online but I prefer him to just follow my current project. All that other stuff is just history, I was a different person back then.
Flicking through your past is a good thing at times and the opposite, at other times. Depending on what you focus on ;>)
Have you ever chased down everything a favourite actor or director has been involved in? I guess sometimes people can be like that with even those of us that aren't so famous. Taste of things to come? XD
Haha!
I definitely have. Both in my younger days, as well as while in University.
And I will take that as a compliment! :>)
One more day to go... or, when you read this, a couple of hours. I hope I can post episode 1,
before you are asleep
