Holidays and writing

Yes, it's been a while since I updated everyone. For that I'm sorry. The Seiple house is getting into the holidays here in the USA so that means even more time doing stuff and not typing at my computer. The few times I have had energy at my computer, I haven't been typing things but playing various Minecraft mod packs.

HOWEVER!!!

That doesn't mean I'm not writing at all. I've been working on a couple of sci-fi and fantasy stories that are being scribbled down in notebooks. The sci-fi story I've been working on for a few years now, having to tweak and rewrite some of it as I haven't liked what I was reading before I finally realized I had to show the start of this group's journey which meant a novel before the original colonists' novel getting them all together and off of Earth. So, that set me back a while on the writing and finishing part, but I'm able to work on both of them in fits and starts because they're linked and in the same three ring binder.

The fantasy story that's sorta taken over was one that hit me out of the blue a couple of weeks back and I've been writing like crazy on it in a notebook. Almost have the first short story finished, as I honestly can't see this one being more than a collection of shorts unless I get a REALLY good plot going on it. Maybe a novella for the first story as that's setting everything up for the rest of the stories. It's suppose to be a fun little romp but we'll see how things turn out there.
