I've recently been getting in touch with my inner child again. I've been reading fairy tales, ones that were told by me by my family. I found wholes books of them for free on my Kindle that I got for Christmas. I can't help but chuckle as I read them. It takes me back to the good old days. Before life became so stressed and hectic.
Yet in reading these tales, I have recently come across new inspirations. I think I now have an idea for an original story in the works. An idea where I'll blend reality with fairy tales, myths, legends, and yeah you get the picture. I'm not quite sure about the road it will take yet though. I'll have to do some developing first. I'll be sure to let you know.
In other news, I just finished chapters 4 and 5 of my story Narnia Falls to Telmar. I've been trying to add a little more action to it to help readers get pulled into it. I only hope my efforts are fruitful. I should have them both typed up in a couple of weeks. My parents think I'm wierd using a laptop and the family computer at the same time, but still. I've realized this week that even though my life is busy, I still need to keep people interested in my works. And the best way is probably to keep updating.
And you all might find this interesting. I'll be posting a story soon which will be talking about Narnia's history from the beginning until the end of the Golden Age. It's going to be fun. Influences going into this work are the usual, myths, legends, fairy tales. I'll also be adding real life experiences, history, various theologies because of the different religions, and of course Christianity. I haven't been able to come up with a decent title for it, so I've been calling it Narnia's Silmarillion. I plan on coming up with an official title once I start publishing it. (I'm going to wait until everything is completely written before I do that though.) Hopefully that will spark some interest in you guys. :)
In other news, family situation has not changed much. We're still kind of miserable, though I admit, I'm in a better mood than I have been. I just wish this divorce would get over with. My parents are both too stubborn and selfish to really care though. They refuse to budge, even for us. And my brother is currently going through one of his own Edmund moments, except you can disclude the whole "doubting Aslan" part of it. He's still got a grasp on his faith, just that I can see it's getting exhausted and he's trying to prove himself. As for my sister, she's ok. Though like me, she is growing tired and weary.
