Got a new idea for a story. It's called "A Small Touch." I realized looking back on all my finished works that they are 80% violence, with the exception of "The Gray Eye." So I decided to write a story that isn't violent. The story is about a young teenager who runs from home after his dad abuses him... in his mind, for the last time. The only problem is that it's winter, and he has no where else to go. After stumbling around in freezing temps, he hallucinates that he sees a small orange flash. He follows it into a sheltered alcove, and it turns out the flash was a fairy! Though they can't speak the same language, they can still mime their conversation. The fairy ends up keeping the kid warm due to that strange fairy magic, and he sleeps soundly...
I thought it was a good idea. What do you all think?
As for my first publish... it wasn't exactly a major moment, but I did put The Bloodlord in the school newsletter this month, and scored a whopping 10 extra credit points for it! Yesss, as Napoleon Dynamite would say. I realized that there was an edit problem, and now I have a solid line where there definitely wasn't supposed to be one. But I can deal with that. No money for it, duh, but my writing has now been distributed to the main school population. So far, I've been asked twice if I was a serial killer. That's because the story is in first person, and everyone assumes I did these things.
Kind of hard, wouldn't you think? I can't exactly channel Oath and send hellfire into people's bodies, let alone fight perfectly with a dirk and dagger. I found it humorous.
And as of 8:30 this morning, I've had 31 hits that weren't by me.
