If I’m a horder, I’m a work in progress (WIP) horder. I write a lot. Like . . . a LOT. I’m always coming up with ideas in my head, wherever and whenever. I’d say 70% of what I write will never see the light of day, and I’m fine with that. I have three published books under my belt already!

Usually those one-off’s are a couple scenes or an overall thought of “Hey, this would make a great story.” Over the years, I’ve acquired more than a few “Hey, this would make a great story” ‘s, and I’m getting to the point where I think it would be a waste if I didn’t get to share parts of them with the world.

For the month of June, I’ve given myself a challenge, the nature of which I have divulged on my Medium blog. Long-story-short (Ha! See what I did there?), I’m going to be posting to each of my social media streams at least once a week. Today is Blog Day.

This month, I will give some light to my many WIP’s here on my blog. I have Japanese-style ghost stories to science fiction, and gaming to high fantasy.  I’ve taken my writing cues from gentle train rides through the countryside to watching my son play video games, and from a blockbuster movie about robots defending earth from monsters to the latest popular HBO series. A popular anime inspired one WIP, and a 20-year-old CLAMP manga inspired another. Heck, a creepy a picture of a carousel horse inspired a steampunk WIP!

Alrighty, so get ready for WIP Hell; I’ll post a brief summary of my WIP and an excerpt. There are a few I’m working diligently towards turning into full fledged novels, and a few that are just fun stories I write without a care as to their form or structure. Some will be polished, some will be word vomit edited for reading consumption. With each work, I’ll explain it’s backstory and inspiration(s) and how far along I’ve come in the process of writing. And of course, pictures galore, since I’m a very visual person.

 

Come on! You know I couldn’t resist adding a picture of my Boo!

June will be interesting. Let’s see where this takes me!
