We’ll be back

I’m currently recovering from a nasty illness. As a result I haven’t the strength to post this weeks update to the story, but once I am back on my feet I’ll resume.

Ditched

After careful consideration I decided to ditch the idea of “The Colony”. The reason for this wasn’t that I didn’t think I could write it, I just don’t think it’s something I should write. Maybe this will change in the future, but as of now I have no plans to explore The Colony and I’ve learned that it’s probably not a good idea to announce things unless they are solid and going to make it.

TLKBM will continue (and I hope you’re enjoying it) and also I have another project planned for when it’s done.

Coming Soon!

All has been quiet here lately, but that’s only because I’ve been working on some stuff. I’m going to be publishing the beginning of two stories on my blog next week and I’d like to take this opportunity to give a bit of a brief description of what I have coming up.

First, there is a short story called The Last Knock Before Midnight and then a serial called The Colony.

The Last Knock Before Midnight – Horror
Alice Wells is a woman not many people can stand to suffer. Fiery and argumentative, no one is surprised when she questions the doctor’s ruling that her sister committed suicide. Her quest leads her from a simple mission to save her sister’s honour into a battle to save the town, and the only person who believes her is a man who might not be all he claims to be.

This short story will have chapters published frequently. I’m hoping for one a week, but it might end up being one a fortnight.

The Colony – Sci-Fi/Mystery
Jack lands at Colony 6129 expecting things to be like they always have been: boring. There’s not much to do for a teenager on a science colony, but on 6129 Jack finds he’s not the only teenager and that this colony and its administrator are perhaps a little too secretive for a simple mining colony.

This serial will have episodes published intermittently. You might get five episodes a week or one episode a year (actually, I doubt it’ll be that extreme either way).

I hope they’ll be well received, but we’ll see I guess =)

Why am I writing two stories instead of one? I feel it gives me the chance to keep things fresh. The main story will be the Last Knock Before Midnight (LKBM from now on) and that’s the one I will strive to finish. The Colony is something that I think would be fun to write, but I’m not altogether sure where it’ll lead. I know there seems to be an influx of teenage stuff these days and I don’t want it to be Harry Potter in Space or even Twilight in Space. I’d like to make it a little different than that.

A New Look

I admit I have probably spent more time looking for a theme than I have actually writing blog posts. This has partly been due to the fact that I struggled for awhile to find a theme that I thought put content first. I don’t like sidebars as they distract from the reading experience and I do believe that people go to blogs to read the content. So I’ve gone for this theme. It’s minimal but pretty–no fancy distractions to steal your eyes away. I do hope you like it.

We also underwent some downtime as I had to change something with my hosting. All done and ready to post the content soon.

But what content? Good question.

I plan on writing a short story, broken up into parts, which I will post on this blog. It will be horror (I hope) but not grotesque. I have a title and am turning my notes into chapters. Look for the first episode very soon.
