prose

Here is the gathering place for all my prose I decided to put online. Enjoy!

NaNoWriMo, Etc.

About

Since starting this page in 2007, I have won NaNoWriMo 5 times, wrote 22k in Script Frenzy (2012) and attempted Camp NaNo before life got in the way. I fully intend to keep up with NaNoWriMo, and am a co-ML this year. I also am taking a fiction class and may share things from that here too. Or not. I'm a touch paranoid at times. 

Settings:

Kasumi and The Tragedy of Victory are set in a California where superpowered beings are quarreling over a small city tucked away in the mountains somewhere. 

Searching For Charon is our world, but the spirits of planets and stars and other celestial objects have taken human forms and secretly try to learn about being human. Sol-DST is from this.

Bringers of the Rain is set in a desert much like the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, but with magic. the Petroglyphs excerpt is from this one.

For Out of the Deep, Contentment, Whispers, and In the Shadow of the Queen (see Daffodil short below), see My Conworld Page.

Sometimes stories come out of the ether, or from very twisted mythologies. A Pet for Death is probably the best example of the latter, and Starlight is a good example of the former. It's unlikely but not impossible for their world to be expanded. And rarely, very rarely, I write honest to goodness fanfic, like Carmen Chiaroscuro and the TTR one below.
