What are you writing now?

Share with us whatever it is you are working on now! Original fiction? Fanfiction? Poetry? Articles? Script? Tell me about it!

I have a ton of short stories that I'd love to finish, iron out and send somewhere to try to get published, as well as (in the much more distant future) a few novels. I consider myself pretty rooted in the fantasy genre (with some sci-fi as well), which is what my novels would be easily classified as... but weirdly, my short stories are pretty much non-genre or simply human drama. I have one developing fantasy novel in particular that's really shaping itself, but the more I work on it, the further away from finishing it I seem.

I also write articles for a local newspaper, but that's basically limited to community events or opinion pieces.

How about you guys?

I mostly write original fiction.

Just last night I finally started a project I've been plotting for months. It's a fantasy set at a religious temple where a girl has just arrived to become a novice priestess. There's a romance with another novice too.

I'm also going back and working on some WIPs that I've put aside for a while. Let's see, there's the one about a girl who has been treated for delusions in the past who starts dealing with a supernatural problem and has to figure out what is real and what is just another delusion.

There's one about a woman who becomes pregnant by an incubus but says the child is her friend's and faces the scorn leveled at her for having a child out of wedlock so that it won't be killed like the other children who were conceived by the incubus that has been terrorizing their town.

One is a about a goddess who had argued to create humans despite the reservations of her husband. They had a deal that if the humans ever went too far they would get rid of them. He has decided that it is time to talk about implementing that deal. So she transfers her powers to another god and becomes another human in the world they created, thinking that her husband won't destroy it with her there. She starts to question this when a bunch of unusual disasters start happening while she is there.

There are others but I'll shut up now.

Wow... each of those WIPs sounds like something I would love to read. Especially the river goddess one, what a cool idea and perspective for a story (I haven't read too much fantasy that takes one of the gods as a protagonist!). I would very much be interested in reading these if you finish them. :D

Thanks!

In the past I would have said that no one is ever going to read anything I write, but I've recently decided that I'd like to share my writing and try my hand at getting published after all, so we'll see what happens with these WIPs.
