Odd Still Life My Odd Still Life (In A Few Well And/Or Badly Chosen Words)

22Apr/100

Another Sleepless Night And I’ve Just . . .

Been editing my fiction pieces on this site. On "The Harvest" I had two different places where I had changed tenses. (I'm so bad to do that.) Then on "The Last of an Eastern Empire" something strange had happened and the entire text was up twice. (That had been up for more than a year.) There are probably one hundred more things wrong with that piece, but I've never really been interested enough in the story to care. (It was more or less a free writing piece that just doesn't do anything for me. I might take it down one day.)

Also added a new piece that I just finished today. I'm thinking of having it be sort of a prologue to my next novel. (Yeah, NEXT novel, like I'm anywhere close to finishing the FIRST one.) As I was writing that piece I realized that I'm not very good at describing individuals. I'm good at describing places and inanimate objects, but I suck at describing people.*

So, I decided to make them all a little different. The lean man is the "Boss". The muscular man is "The Muscle" (actually the head of the military and the other man's actual brother).  Finally, the smaller man is "The Advisor" (and an extraordinarily powerful magic user).

*(I'm great at dialogue. But that's another story.)
