Cimmerian Tales
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I'm taking part in a writing group where we post up to 1,500 words on a prompt chosen by one of the three writers. The genre is YA, and we're terrible and embrace The Dark Stuff.
It's just a bit of fun and given my alarming propensity to writing only when given a strict deadline (not one essay in university wasn't written the night before), it's a good way to try and tighten writing and editing skills, and learn my ~original fiction voice.
I can't promise you a great read. I'm not so sure of myself when writing original stuff than fanfic, and sometimes one prompt will speak to me more than another. But if you care to read or just like to point and laugh at me literally writing a story within an hour and weeping profusely with panic as I do it, here's the link to this week's story: The Descent.
My co-writers are talented, measured and inspiring people whom I hope will Teach Me Things. So, you know, I recommend them.
