TIME TO REALLY GET STUCK INTO MY WRITINGS.

      Usually when I write, what I write is usually whatever takes my fancy at that moment in time wheter it be an old story I want to type up or something new that I want to get through but for most of the time over recent months I have been trying to get through a back log of ideas and stories with which I'd like to post online.

      In the blog I posted back in March I listed a number of stoires I wanted to get through and I have completed all of what I listed bar one. There is a story I began writing  a couple of years ago now that when I completed what I origionally began with I thought there is quite a bit more I can do and would like to do with that particular story. That story is BROTHERS OF THE VILLAGE . It went up @short-fiction.co.uk back in August 2009. I then wrote a prequel to this story which went up in three parts which went up in July and August 2010 simply with the title BROTHERS OF THE VILLAGE - THE BEGINING. Then back in November 2010 it continued with two more parts BROTHERS OF THE VILLAGE - HEROES, VILLAINS AND GHOSTS. So I plan to bring this story to it's conclusion soon.

     Some thing else I'd like to bring to a conclusion is the Vampire series of stories I started last October. There had been so many Vampire stories out there that I thought I'd try write one of my own. I came up with a vampire character named Gabriel Grimmel and the story just seemed to write itself. The origional story turned out to be a couple of pages longer than I thought it would leaving me with another character to which I could continue writing with and that would be Seth in SON OF A VAMPIRE. I was left with do many ideas after that to continue writing the series but it wasn't until April the the third in the series went up WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO GABRIEL GRIMMEL?  Which was followed in May with three parts to the fourth in the vampire series DARK SHADOW. I had thought that I would be able to end the story there but there is still more to go yet so hopefully I will get through the fifth installment OTHER VOICES soon.

      But before I get through any of that there is a series or really short stories I am currently writing NIGHTMARES OF THE DEAD with three parts already post with two more to follow shortly.

      Another story I spoke about in the recent March Blog was a story called BEAST. It is a story which went up in three parts and one which I really enjoyed writing. There is more I would like to add to this one too so BEAST 2 is something else which will be coming soon.

      One more tale I would like to get around too soon is one which is inspired by a recent trip to an old closed down jail in Dublin called Kilmainham jail. But my story KILMAINHAMS GHOSTS will be a fictional story based on my visit there and the tour I took of the place.

      There are a few more stories I'd like to get through before I consider wheter my online writing should continue or come to an end, but for the moment I am enjoying writing as much as I ever have and feedback has been so possitive, so as I have mentioned before since people are reading what I write, for the moment I'll continue to write. So till next time :)
