I'm taking my original body of work, and stripping away a lot of the complexity. What I'm hoping to do is create easily readable chapters that function almost like their own mini stories that will hopefully be much more enjoyable to read than one long and involved novel. I hope you like what I come up with.

So you know the "Riders of Doom" music from Conan the Barbarian? I hadn't thought the choral bits might translate to something, but apparently they do!



Enses requirimus saevos nos
We seek savage swords,

nos ferrei reges servi fati
We, iron kings, servants of fate,

morta ex terra mortiferra tela
bringing deadly weapons, sprung from the earth

in hostes bello ad moventes
against the enemy in war.

Equos frenamus furentes
We control high-spirited horses,

Capi ta superba quatientes
shaking their proud heads

mortem hostibus et luctem date
Spirits of the dead, give death and bitter grief

acrem di manes sternadis
to the enemy who must laid low.

Ave Nevis, ave ferrum
Hail Nevis, hail iron

Ave tela, ave cruor
Hail weapons, hail terror,

Ave pugna, ave moritur
Hail gore, hail those who are about to die!

Skylon! Skylon!


Here's a link to the music, in case you don't have the soundtrack, and want to check this out...

If someone tells you something about your writing doesn't feel right, they are almost always right.

If they try and tell you how to fix it, then they are almost always wrong.

Also, if I am seeing this right, one of the starkest, most daring aspects of Disney's Bambi is that it suggests that there is never a place in life where one can rest, where one can look about oneself and judge things, where one can be comfortable, knowing that wisdom and experience will get one through. Bambi, rather, suggests that one never gets used to anything, that life has a constantly-shifting set of rules, that adults know nothing more about life than a child does, that an adult is just as lost, just as confused, just as frightened as a child -- if not more so. The mysteries of life never get solved in Bambi, they only perpetuate themselves. Bambi is only a traveler on this line, never the engineer.

How can one chapter have 15 views, and then the next one have 32?

My shit is already confusing enough, but if you miss something, it's going to leave you going "WTF is this guy smoking?" :)
