Short Stories

If you have ever heard of deviantart, I currently have three short stories on there that I wrote using a random first line generator. I think the one titled "Short Story 3" may turn into a book because I like the direction I'm going with it. I like the whole post-apocalyptic vibe that I get from it. This was the line I got from the generator, "Under normal circumstances he would speak his mind, but, with a gun against his head,". It so far has 506 words and is pretty good for a short story that I wrote in a few minutes. If you want to give my short stories and other writing a read, you can find it here: dogrules23.deviantart.com.

Short Stories and DeviantArt

I have a DeviantArt account and I have started posting short stories on it. You can go and read those at dogrules23.deviantart.com I have two posted so far and am working on a third. This third short story is the reason for writing this post. Where I am going in this third story is really good so far so it might end up evolving into a book instead of just being a short story! That would be a third book to work on. It is very interesting so far so I'll post a sneak peek at the first paragraph:

     Under normal circumstances he would speak his mind, but, with a gun against his head, he did so anyway. He really didn’t care what happened next, he didn’t exactly enjoy where his life was going or anything so he just went ahead and spoke when he knew he shouldn’t have, “Where are you taking me?” He asked his captor carefully.

I'm so happy!

Last night, my school computer where I do my writing started acting funny and wouldn't boot up right. This morning I went to my school's IT people to get it fixed and they re-imaged the hard drive. I got it back and was glad I saved my books in Dropbox instead of on my computer. I will be back to writing soon!

Reading/Writing Friday is Almost Upon Us!

Tomorrow is Friday! I think I am going to work on Appocalypse which I am on page 65 of right now. I will work throughout school and also after Academic Decathlon practice when I get home. I probably won't be as successful as last week since I'm at my mom's house and I share a room with my brother who is really loud. I hope to finally get past page 65 though! I will post my status tomorrow after I am done writing!

I need ideas

I would like ideas for short stories that I can write and submit to DeviantArt and possibly publish once I get a collection of them. I need your help for this, you have the power to do this!

Side note: If you give me an idea that I use and post or publish, I will give you credit for it!

Sideways note: Email me the ideas at Dogrules23@gmail.com

Writing/Reading Friday Update #1!

I started writing at 1:30pm Eastern Time and just finished at 3:00pm Eastern Time. That means I wrote for one and a half hours. I worked on The Beginning that whole time and got a lot of work done. If every Writing/Reading Friday goes like this, I will have these books done in no time! I'll just need to edit them after that and then publish them!

The Beginning: page 13 and chapter 2 (Scamandius), 2,678 words now!
