Story Update: Aftermath chapter 6

You can find today's update here:
http://aftermathstory.blogspot.com/

My thoughts going forward is how much work it would be to set up fortifiations for a town. I once had a car that I stopped driving. It sat for about a year before I sold it. Even after one year the thing was in bad shape, not wanting to start. Imagining cars that have been sitting for fifteen years, they must be like boulders to move. I'm not really a car person, so, I can't go into mechanical details. I just know it would be a lot of hard work.

As always, your comments are welcome. And thank you for reading!

Story Update: Aftermath Chapter Five

Great news! I have completed chapter five and it's now available here:
http://aftermathstory.blogspot.com/

We are back with our main group of people once again, moving foward to making a ghost town into a new home. Ideas are starting to fall into place and characters are starting to become clearer in my mind.

Did you know that at the bottom of each story post I've placed reaction boxes? All you have to do is click and submit a box if you feel you have a reaction to the story. This can help me gauge how I'm doing. Also, feel free to leave a comment on any chapter or here in the story updater.

Please remember that all of work is in rough draft form. I do this because I am working on getting my writing to come back to life, and will go back to edit later. A little backwards, perhaps, but so far it seems to be working.

Thanks for reading!

In progress

My big project is complete. Hurray! Now perhaps I can put my brain cells back to good use in creating worlds.

Today I started work on Aftermath: Chapter 5. I am hoping to have it done either tomrorow or Friday.

I haven't started on the next chapter of Angel in Black just yet, but I feel it coming.

I'm also making plans to start getting more features available on my stories. I'm working on setting up a better "home office" space for myself, and I have some new equipment but haven't set it up yet. Hopefully this will all be done in the near future. Also, as I learn to better use the blogger program, I hope to make the appearance of each story more customized.

Will update something this week!

I am still working on my project at work but the deadline has been loosened a bit. Plus, I couldn't continue at that pace any more. I burn out rather fast. I'm almost done with it! (I will have to do it again every quarter though, but next time I hope to have more time in general.)

The plan is to try to update something this week. Either Angel in Black or Aftermath or both! I have some good ideas brewing for Aftermath, and Angel in Black will just take the right kick to get that next chapter out.

Busy Schedule and Stressed

I have a very complex assignment at work and it's really stressing me out. My thoughts are racing and I am having some trouble focusing. I most likely will not be able to update either of my stories again this week.

Don't worry! I have a lot of ideas and I just need to get the words to fall into place.

Story Update: Aftermath Chapter Four

So I completed chapter four faster than expected. Hurray!

This one takes us to a new place and introduces us to a new character. It also shows some more of how the world is progressing.

Don't worry, we'll be back to the first group in chapter five.

Working but no update

I'm currently working on Chapter Four for Aftermath. It's going well but I don't think I will have it done today. But, I did give the Aftermath site a new skin and coloring.

I'm going to start working on chapter 21 of Angel in Black soon as well. I know what is happening but need to get the words to fall into place. I don't think it will take too log.

I feel a bit foggy today as the day goes on, so I'm hoping that I'm not falling into another mental wall. I'm thinking positively.

Exciting Angel in Black Update

Today we once again get to see some of the raw talent that Anlynn posesses in chapter 20. She's a lovely girl, really, but best to stay on her good side.

Also today we see for the first time why I put the "horror" tag on all the chapters. Up until this point it's been pretty traditional fantasy adventure. But now some of the other elements are coming into play.

You can discover all of the excitement here:

Aftermath Update: Chapter Three

Okay so I've got chapter three up on Aftermath. It's a bit longer than normal. I had a lot to say.

Today we get to know more names of the people in the group. It's confusing so I'll list them here. In this group there are ten people. (Does that mean there are others? You will just have to wait to find out!) The story of each will unfold as time goes on:

Kevin
Jeff
Dave
Jack
Derek

Peggy
Alexis
Teresa
Jennifer
Sarah

Another Angel in Black Update: Chapter 19

Another day, another update! Hurray!

check it out here:
http://angelinblackstory.blogspot.com/

This one ends on a bit of a mystery. I'm going to try to work on chapter 20 tomorrow.

As for Aftermath, fear not, I'm currently working on Chapter Three. I'm also going to work on updating the whole of that page to be more fancy, as it's kind of dull right now.

Thanks for reading!

Angel in Black Update: Chapter 18

Wow! I updated Angel in Black. What a shock, huh?

You can find it here:
http://angelinblackstory.blogspot.com/

Anlynn is one of my favorite heroins. She's tough and smart, but also very human under her chill exterior. Givng people the chance to know her is something I really want to complete.

Elohke is also one of my favorite characters ever. He's a lot of fun to write.

Also, here's a tip on pronunciation in the world I've created. Elohke's name is derived from an ancient language of the people. It is pronouned "el- OH- kay" (with the o like in the word oh.) So, there you go. Hope that helps.

I know them both pretty well, inside and out. Both are full of surprises and together they make an interesting pair. I have part of chapter 19 done so stay tuned! I'll probably be updating again soon.

Please check it out.

New Story Blog: Aftermath

I have started a new story blog. The title of this story is Aftermath. It takes place in a post-apocolyptic world 15 years after the cataclysmic event. The world is similar to Earth as opposed to a fictional world.

The main character is Kevin Hobbs, a young man who has lived the majority of his life as part of a nomadic group of survivors. As the world settles back into something livable, Kevin hopes to bring peace and stability to those he has come to regard as his family.

Welcome to Story Updater!

Hello!

I will be creating several blogs that are all my fictional works. Because of my cognitive functioning issues, I can't work on my stories at a normal pace. Also, I can't seem to stick to one at a time. This blog will be the hub that glues the rest of them together.

Here is where I will update on progress I'm making, blocks and blackouts I'm having, or when a story has been updated. Hopefully this will simplify things.

Currently, Angel in Black is on hold. You can read what is posted already at:
http://angelinblackstory.blogspot.com/
Other updates:
I have a scanner now but it isn't set up yet. There are some issues at home which make using my computer there difficult. Once that's set up you will see additions and changes to the stories posted.

I have a new story in the works. It's as of yet untiled. Once the name comes to me I will begin a new blog and post the link.

I have two other stories that need to be re-written as I lost them both. Once that begins I will be creating a blog for each.

If I ever get into the mood for some serious editing, be prepaired to see my completed work as well.

That's all of the updates for today. Thanks!
