Current Project, 12-20-11

This is what I'm currently working on. It's a short story, possibly a novelette, called Arrow Of Vengeance.

The story is about a disgraced and washed up archer, called upon to undertake a critical mission, which could save the entire kingdom.

I hope to have this story done by the end of the year. From there, I plan on writing a couple more stories, and getting started on editing some of the novels I've written for NaNoWriMo.

Why I Love Writing

There are really several reasons why I love writing. For one thing, I love creating, and writing is a creative outlet for me.

The primary reason, however, is the escapism in writing. When reading, the reader is transported to another time and place. The reader gets to experience exotic locations and exciting situations. In a similar manner, a writer is transported to these locations, but the writer gets to create these settings. A writer gets to decide what happens in the story.

That is what I particularly like about writing, is that I get to create new worlds. I get to create characters, and put their lives in danger, only to be saved at the last second. I get to create magic and science to make these worlds new and different.
