Well this is embarrassing...

I've run into a bit of trouble lately and it seems I won't be able to work on my long extended stories, Retrospection: Far End of the Sky and Tamara: From the Serpent's Mouth until later.

Returning to Alternate Universes

When I first started writing I wanted to write massive epics like the Lord of Rings series and Star Wars -- the kind of writing Ian's working on right now. I was around six years old when I started and soon realized how difficult it is which is when I switched to playwriting at around eight years old under the false assumption that it was easier than prose.

Shadow of Fear

Shadow of Fear was originally written as the prologue to my book, at the time titled The Quest of Gondlring, due to recent paradigm shifts in the way I've been writing my books, it may or not appear as a flashback at some point in one of the books. It's posted here as a novelty.

Retro Chapter 1 First draft

Very short and by no means finished. I plan on expanding it. The first chapter of a new story I'm writing is here. Let me know what you think down in the comments.
What kind of story does this seem like it will be? What length? What genre? That sort of stuff.
A friend who also read this said he didn't like the character names, I may change those as well. Thoughts?
