Lets reward the authors that write our favorite genre.
With me being back on this site and all due to my mental health improving and me being a lot happier, I've been writing again.
Remember that conquistador story I always hinted about before I left? Well, I finished it. Alvarado is over 10,000 words long. Unedited all the way so I'll probably have to fix that before I post it. Go ahead and read one of the first sections, I'll try to get it up tonight.
Thanks, so glad to be back! (If anyone ever goes on this club anymore lmao)
Do you want to see a certain writing style? A certain scene? A particular historical event mentioned or depicted? Anything you'd like to see me in particular do? Anything you'd like to see me not do?
I'd love to form the story around what you guys want to see, to make it more enjoyable for everyone.
Give me your thoughts!
I've finally found the premise for my next story, a historical action centered around the Fall of Tenochtitlan.
While characters and plotline are in the works, I've finished the research process that I go through for historical fiction stories.
I'll be sure to put more updates as things progress.
Thanks!
Check this out.
I was gone on a vacation to southern Utah, fishing and hiking. I was searched for by Ski Patrol teams because I climbed a cliff face alone without ropes or harnesses, and was gone for multiple hours. I made my way to the top of the 11,000 ft. mountain, and grabbed a ride back with a caravan of trucks. When I was dropped off at the base of the mountain, I talked to the patrol teams who were searching for me. They told me the mountain I climbed was only climbed with teams of experienced climbers with ropes, and that tens of people have died climbing it in the last couple years!
The other admins are either on camping trips as well, or traveling to other countries.
Admins, when you get back, leave a description of what you did on your trips in the comments of this post! See if you can beat my story! ;D
So, here's a challenge I have for all of you in the mean time:
Write approximately 2,000 words about any strictly historical topic you believe is interesting. I'll be thrilled to read all your work upon my return!
Regards!
Once we get enough people together, we can start doing contests and other fun stuff.
Anyone who needs their work reviewed - no matter the genre - post on the wall with a link to your work, and someone will be on it as soon as possible!
Mine has to be the thriller from 2015,
The Revenant.
Featuring great battle scenes and imagery, the main character is a fur trapper who's mauled by a grizzly while out on the trail, and left for dead by his own comrades.
What about you guys?
Just throwing this link around, nobody is in there now but come in and spy sometime!
