Every writer is different, but I find it handy to have a backup project for when I stall on my main one. It helps keep the creativity flowing even when I need a break. 😛

Do read Pratchett. I’m a particular fan of his Watch series, which begins with “Guards! Guards!” Also, if you haven’t already, I highly recommend exploring the backlog of Stephanie’s blog, here. It’s fantastic.

Similar language? Perhaps. Or perhaps it’s that they all breathe the air of a universe that isn’t quite ours. 😀

You’ve inspired me Jubilare !
This will be the second novel; now all I need to do is finish the first (I’d better ignore the voices).
Thanks for more kind words and I’ll be sure to read Pratchett.
Hmm. We all have our own particular tribe sitting on our shoulders, but they all speak a similar language.
I’ll be sure to take a look at your blog too. You sound interesting 😉

Wow, truly? That is something.
Perhaps you should continue it, see where it leads. Sounds like Alan ought to have known better than to trust him, then… reckless, reckless.

Interspersing humor and tension can be done very well, T. Pratchett being a case in point. You seem to have a knack for it.

Lol! You are not one of mine. I know their voices very well. 😉

Thanks for my first ever comment Jubilare,
Yep. Trapped by Lasen. If I were to continue this, I think he’d be causing mayhem; sort of a time travelling criminal of the violent type.
I somehow have a need to intersperse humour into tension. Glad you liked it and yes…be worried, you should start to feel that trapped feeling soon as I explore your world hehe 😉

“Logic and common sense had abandoned me and had decided to leave me to it, as they sprinted, screaming into the distance.” This is my favorite image in this piece. Hilarious!

“And now he was talking about this story. Could it get any stranger?” …I don’t know what to do with this. My characters talk to me about their stories all the time. Perhaps I should be worried.
