So I got to talking to someone about poetry and writing it and such, and after a search through my harddrive, found a few I'd not posted previously (at least that I know of).

I'm kind of sad that I seem to have lost all the ones I had on my really old website.  I'm hopeful they're on a harddrive laying around somewhere, but I don't feel like ( Read more... )

So, since some of the stuff I'm working on is proving rather difficult, I thought I'd try a profile, as Rajani has occasionally urged me to do some of them.  They're certainly easier to work on than full-length stories.  I'm in the midst of a couple of stories as well as working on chapter two of the Camanoe Commonwealth overview - this one ( Read more... )

So here's a couple of really short, really undetailed story ideas.  The first is the basic outline of a dream I had last night, which was kind of strange in some areas, but this is just a very brief idea of what the dream was about, for my own notes should the basic idea find itself working into a more detailed setting or idea.  It also fits ( Read more... )

Okay, so... this actually occured over a few dreams, pieced together into what's here.  Now, this is -very- rough, not written like a story, merely a very early stage storyline, and yes, I use 'me' and 'I' a lot because that was the character I portrayed in the dreams.  The setting, theme and characters never changed between dreams, unless it was, ( Read more... )

So I wanted to do a writeup for each of the nations within the realm of my setting, now that I actually have them placed on a map (thanks to Rajani for showing me PlanetGen).  I never know what sort of information is sutiable for these, and I kinda ended off with no real finalization, but this is what I have for the Camanoe Commonwealth, the lands ( Read more... )

So yeah, I have, at times, been known to write the occasional poem.  Off and on I would write poems to suit my mood, though more often than not that mood was a bad one, so most of my poems have a leaning towards angst and depression.  I've stopped trying to write about love and such since, well, my last parter never appreciated them, and I've not ( Read more... )

Jahi, the high priest of the temple in the Old Kingdom, was also the mentor of Zahur, the young prince.  The prince was second born to the Pharaoh, born sickly and weak, not expected to survive past his first year.  As such, the prince was named Zahur, which mean flower, and not declared heir to the throne, despite being the only male child of the ( Read more... )

So, I play a jackal named Zahur.  While designing the character's background, I wound up amassing various documents about the area, religion, politics, neighbouring kingdoms and such.  Zahur is the pharaoh of an Egyptian-based area called Zahirah.  I'd started writing about his youth in a series I was calling The Pharaoh's Youth, but it didn't lead ( Read more... )
