Driving Goal

2 min read
    So a year has happened! 
    Several things to go off of-for those that even look at this page!
    If for no other reason than to say that I have done so, I am going to complete this 100 challenge, I have to at this rate. They are a collection of glorified fan-fiction and inspired by settings not original to me, if you haven't been able to tell, but they have helped me to refine my writing over the years and develop dialogue and scene writing, and that's really what I've been writing them for. 
    I do want to write for a living-perhaps not wholly creatively, as I am currently in college for Technical Writing and the like; but it's cathartic and wonderful to create stories, isn't it? 
    I look back on so much of my work here and cringe-but that's all part of the process. I'm working to be more original with my work here-thus some of my newer uploads have not been blatant tales based in gaming settings that belong to other publishers, but I cannot say I will remove it completely. I figure I will finish this 100 theme list using what I have been, and then never do such again. 
    At this point I am writing these as mostly a drive to complete something I said that I would-and have put so much effort into. I can only hope to turn these fan-fictions into stories of my own and independent of their table-top origins. 
    I want to write more here; of my plans for the future of my creative writing, of asking better freelance specialists than myself how on earth they do it; but my writing that I have posted is paltry and unrefined, disorganized and sloppy. 
    Still, I write!

Years Ago

Three years-almost three years since I've posted anything. Well, I'm still alive, and I'm still here.
Having recently been reminded of my 100-theme challenge, I have a complete list of everything I had yet to do.
And will continue to do.
So to my watchers and my friends-stay tuned I guess.

I've finished On the Town, but have yet to have a chance to post it, and kind of lost some steam there for a while. So instead of tackling new themes, I decided to try to get out of my head some ideas for ones I did previously. I wrote a different Fairy Tale, and I may end up doing that with some other ones, we'll see.
    Thad has another piece coming up, and after the next two is going to be a radical change in his life, so I'm excited about that. Whitacre has a good one in the works, just have to get there. I have a few intriguing stories for Mal-Risa, and one makes me nervous to write because it deals with her back story and the why she is the way she is, and it may end up alot more visceral than I think I've done before. 
    I'd like to get to some Felix ones, because he's been deprived lately and I need to give him much needed story-time. Demitria needs a few herself, but I think I'll write them when we get a chance to get to them in game. Or I may just do themes of backstory for both. May be easier.
    As for the rest, I'll get to them, and they may seem more like blurbs than continuous stories like Thad or Whit. Either way, I feel I'm getting better with every story I write. Thanks to everyone for their feedback, mostly BunnyQueen and TerrwynLocklin, and here's to more soon!!!

PHEW. Okay, I updated Thad's pieces in the order they are to be read. But in case it messed up, here's how it goes of the recent ones: 86, 61, 84, 78, 83. Okay then. Portents can be read at any point, and Drawing is labeled in the comments. Geez. Ya know, this is an awful lot of work, I tell ya. But I'm having a blast. More to come soon!

Well, these last ones put a big dent in my time and my to-do list. A lot of them are real long, but at least I'm getting better at stretching them out. These last ones were angsty, but I hope they were good. On to more soon!
