Haunted

Hello everyone,

This actually isn't a totally new story, but is actually an updated version of Memories, from before. It has a new, much better title as well as 33% changed content. I believe the flow is much better and the story ultimately makes more sense. I hope that you enjoy the story and, as always, feel free to let me know of any critiques or comments you have about the story. Thank you!

Times they are a'changin'

Hey everyone,

I know it's been a long time since my last story, I just wanted to let you know I have not forgotten this blog. I'm currently working on something quite different from my last stuff that simply doesn't belong on this blog (since it's not a short story or really prose at all). Anyway, with that and finals coming up, I'm not sure when I'll be able to get started on another short. I'll let you know. Thanks for reading!

Soul's Death

Here is my next short story, Soul's Death. Despite the name, it's actually not gruesome or anything. It's a hard science fiction story set far in the future where space travel to other solar systems is really becoming viable. It is a mystery, too, as you, along with Dr. Fredericks, are trying to figure out what happened to the ill-fated flight of the spaceship Geror. Finally, it will make you question what truly makes a person, a person. I hope you enjoy Soul's Death as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Soul's Death

EDIT 3/20/11: I just posted a heavily revised version of Soul's Death. It's still in rough draft status, as with most of my stories, but I feel it's a substantial enough edit to warrant a second look. Thank you for reading!

Memories

Hello readers,

I apologize for the long wait for my next story. Manus Deis didn't turn out quite how I wanted it to so I went another direction. Instead, I have written a story called Memories. It's quite a bit different from other things that I have written and I'm curious to hear what you have to say.

As always, PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS! I know more people read these than comment here (since nobody has ever commented on this blog...) or anywhere else for that matter. I love hearing from you in person but in lieu of that, please comment or contact me in some way. It helps me improve as a writer when I hear from my readers what works and what doesn't. It's very important to me. Thank you.

Now without further adieu,

Memories

If you have any questions or complaints, let me know. Also, if you are new to this blog, check out my previous post to see links to all my other stories that I have posted here.

Thanks for reading!

Still Here!

Hello readers!

Sorry about the lack of any new writings in recent weeks, I fear that the holidays have made me busier than ever, ironically enough. This is actually my first time using my laptop since I came back home in mid-December. However, I want to reassure you that this blog has not been forgotten!

I am currently working on the project I mentioned in my last blog post which is coming along well. I realized that it's slightly more ambitious than I first realized so it may not be up for a while now. I will tease you though with the title, Manus Dei. That may seem like nonsense but sometimes, google translator can be your best friend =).

Another realization that I made was that, much to my delight, many more people are reading this blog than I thought would. I want to give a shout out to Tucker who linked my blog to his which has directed several people here. Thanks Tucker! For those of you who are reading this that may not have realized this, I have actually written several stories and posted them here. You can find any of them under the subheading labeled Blog Archive over on the sidebar for this blog. They should be organized by month. However, for your convenience, here are links to all of my stories I have posted so far.
