I cheated a little this week. This is something I wrote many years ago, but took the opportunity to revise and re-work.
Is that an excuse if it’s not good? “Why, I wrote this a while ago, before I became the brilliant artist I am now!”
No. It’s corny, cliche, and overly sincere, but I enjoyed revisiting (and correcting) my past self. As they say, there’s no accounting for taste.
Thank you for checking it out…
Back to ancient times. Back to magical shenanigans.
What new mysteries await? What new exciting characters will we introduce? Will any of them have interesting haircuts?
Read on!
The writing continues! As does the story I started last week.
Is this exciting or what?
No… don’t answer that!
And we’re back for the weekly writing effort. This time I’m going to post a chapter from something much larger, I hope. This is a huge gamble, as I don’t have the later stuff written, so it’s possible I end up writing myself into a corner! 😆
Just as in previous weeks I’ll have a little blurb at the end talking about where this idea came from.
Thanks for reading!

Unlike the last story, which I wrote a few weeks ago and revised the day I posted it, I just wrote this one today, so it might be a little rough.
The good news is, this one is nice and sappy, unlike the last one, which was a bit mean spirited in places. Just like last time, I’ll have a bit at the end explaining where this came from.
Here we go again…
I decided to post something original for once, instead of complaining about movies. So here goes. It’s not much of anything. I don’t even know what it’s about. I’ll save the inspiration and background until the end.
On with the show…
EDIT: There’s a gimmick near the latter half where I use images to represent a text message conversation. It’s not ideal on small screen mobile devices. For the best reading experience, I recommend desktop or tablet.
