ShadowQueen (Science Fiction & Fantasy)
1 chapters
—
updated Aug 09, 2011 03:04am
Description:
An excerpt from my recent novel-in-progress, <i>ShadowQueen</i> (originally titled "Tamerin and Isllel"). This is part of the Twelve Kingdoms series. I need more action upfront, I know - but here 'tis! Feedback and criticism welcome!
Pocket Full of Drabbles (Science Fiction & Fantasy)
1 chapters
—
updated Sep 29, 2009 01:26pm
Description:
A "drabble" is a story (or at least a "completed" collection) of 100 words long. In attempting to stab my brain to life in the midst of work and working with post-nasal dribbles, I decided to write <i>one</i> drabble (b/c it is short, pithy, and means one feels as though one completed something with very little effort). This invariably led to a second drabble, which was connected to the first. Which is leading to a third...and so on. Because it never dribbles but it drabbles. (Oh, I'm full of 'em. Try the veal.) I'll upload them as I have them. <i> (And yes, turns out the above is also...a drabble. Oy.)</i>

Emily Snyder
added a quote
"The novelist with Christian concerns will find in modern life distortions which are repugnant to him, and his problem will be to make these appear as distortions to an audience which is used to seeing them as natural; and he may well be forced to take ever more violent means to get his vision across to this hostile audience. When you can assume that your audience holds the same beliefs you do, you can relax a little and use more normal ways of talking to it; when you have to assume that it does not, then you have to make your vision apparent by shock -- to the hard of hearing you shout, and for the almost blind you draw large and startling figures."

“What could she have done? She was a heroine, and with that came certain obligations.”

― Emily C.A. Snyder, Nachtstürm Castle: A Gothic Austen Novel
“Another strike of lightening – now accompanied by the deep-bellied rumble, and the horse reared, incidentally setting Henry very picturesquely against the inconstant moon. Alas, Catherine was deeply engaged in her argument with Old Edric and this missed entirely the melodramatic display. But we may assume that, possessing so strong an imagination, Catherine had often pictured Henry thus...”

“Such a narrative as this demands some sort of physical consolation for its spiritual tribulation. Our heroine received it in one last cup of tea. The reader may be advised to do so likewise.”
