What I'm Writing Right Now

My name's Angus. I'm an aspiring author. I began writing stories 'full time' when I was about eight, and I'm twelve now. I must have written hundreds of short stories, as well as two full-length novellas (Doctor Sandstorm, 20,000 words / The Legion of Ice, 30,000 words). Nothing published, so far, but it's only a matter of time... I vary genres and can write for a wide variety of settings, genres, character types and ideas.

Generally I enjoy writing punchy, action-adventure drama stuff, but if I write dramatic stories, I'll add big dollops of romance and comedy in. I've written comedy stories, fantasy stories and real-world stories. It's not just prose, I'll do scripts too.

So what am I writing right now? Currently I'm writing a book called "Resurrection of the Golden Era". It's an action-adventure mystery drama story with comedy and romance thrown in. It's set at a performing arts summer school located at a boarding school, where the teachers are planning to resurrect a long-forgotten time where they can be have ultimate power...

I suck at summaries. But I'm about 16,500 words in so far and the book is shaping up well. The characters - and there's 12 main ones - are shaping up very well. They've become like my children. Is 12 too many children? Probably.

Sometime soon, I'll put up synopses (that's the plural, right?) and summaries for the books and short stories I've written, plus character profiles for Resurrection of the Golden Era. Today I'll also put up 'Flicker', a short story I wrote earlier this year for a BBC '500 Words' short story competition. Bye.

PS: Ghosts of Imagination. I like that name.
Yep, that's what it's called.

That's somewhere around page 27.

About 80 pages in... blank space...
