The Burden- Chapter 1

The elderly man paced to and fro before his old oak desk, occasionally glancing at the small, ornamental gold chest glinting sickly green in the candle light.   He paced his study, uneasy in the dim light, treading a path side to side between the large bay windows and his desk.   He stopped, slowly reached out a hand and placed it on the chest.   There was a rap at the study door. All he did was flinch slightly, but he berated himself even for that.   He took a deep breath, made his face expressionless and strolled confidently to open the door.   “Please, do come in,” his voice was courteous a

Born To Hang"You can't kill me, boy. I was born to hang," the old man growled, spitting at the roadside.   I stared my hatred up at him, but he did not flinch. He turned his back on me, shamed me, and walked on. I sprang up from the dusty street and shot a glare at the small crowd. The old coot didn't know who he was dealing with. I drew slow. Joey "Poach" Jackson wasn't above shooting no man in the back, if thats what it took to get the job done, but better give him a chance.   "Hey," I drawled, "I think you'd better turn round their old man."   He stopped, his head cocked almost imperceptibly. I saw him ready himself. He m Born To Hang

The Druids of AkabarThe world of Lonne is deeply old. The Druids of Akabar say the earth remembers much, though they tell little. Lonne is separated into three distinct continents and on each continent lays a small remnant of civilisation. The Druids say remnant, not I, and when asked a remnant of what they merely smile sadly, like an old man or woman pitying the road a younger relative must soon take. These three continents are home to eight Kings, and three Senates and a multitude of tribesmen ruled over by brutal Warlords whose reign is inevitably short. Each distinct country has its own way in culture, in language and other aspects, often only colliding in b The Druids of Akabar

My Sixth Year Reflective EssayThe bridge from High School to university and the ‘real world’ known as Sixth year is a journey of discovery for many. From the famed Young Enterprise Company, to actually learning to drive, Sixth Year can hold many notable experiences, and there is no doubt I have grown as a person; in confidence and hopefully in stature.   
 There is no doubt that the Sixth Year is an integral part of the school, in some ways the student life of the school revolves around them. When you first enter the school as a lowly first year, you would never dream of even speaking to a Sixth Year, and you would be petrified if you had to! (S My Sixth Year Reflective Essay

"Only the Good Die Young"I think i've always been an idealist,  since i was tall enough to stand.  I'd tell the truth to a fault, put secrets in a vault,  And keep trust as beffiting a man.   
But i think to be an idealist,  one must always remain naive.  In a childlike way, lest the world have its say,  And lay you low as one of the bereaved.   
For i fear i'm becoming a realist,  of most bitter and twisted bent.  As the world trudges along, and i fight to cling on,  I can't help but feel innocence rent.   
For it seems to get along in this world,  one must compromise or one must die. &n "Only the Good Die Young"

  • Mood: Llama
  • Reading: The Mad Ship- Robin Hobb
Well, I'm back at uni proper, and it gooood. Hopefully being back will banish the summer time blues, and hopefully I'll still keep to my writing. Actaully at the moment I'm 'working on' the Burden story. When I say working on, I mean thinking about, and attempting a little planning, although I'm afraid if I plan to much I'll kill the story, so yeah, meh :lol: But yeah, the whole thing has evolved rather a lot from the original Burden idea, and the Druids of Akabar. I've sort of come to think that they are just parts of the story, in fact im sort of thinking of five books... ambitious for someone who can barely write, I know :P I don't suppose anyone has any tips on writing a fantasy novel or five? ;P Oh, and any tips/good books, for writing/written in the first person?

Hey, thanks for all your kind comments. :hug: They really made my day - and you're a pretty good poet yourself. I really liked Parallel. Except... was it a spelling mistake that it's suddenly spelled "paralell" in the last two stanzas? Meh, but that's just me being a picky spelling Nazi. It's still very good.
