Salutations brothers of the quill! It has been too long since I posted something here, being distracted by new university life amongst other things. I do not despair though as Summer is upon us and I can bring some of my focus back to prose.
Having just completed my first year in a Screenwriting degree, I suddenly find myself rusty at writing this prose though. The fact of the matter is I need to retrain my mind to think in that way again. And so my good friend has offered to help me carry out an excercise which I have decided would be good to share with you faithful Heretics. Hopefully some of you will find the time to join in, hopefully helping us all get those creative juices flowing, like an orcs blood in rutting season. Here's the plan.
Everyday, my friend gives me a random word. Just one word. I share with you that word. From this singularity, you must come up with a short piece of writing, whether it be based in the 40k, Fantasy or any other kind of universe, the sky is the limit. Now these pieces do not have to be long, epic tales (although they're fine) and can be as short as you like. It can be the start of a story, an extract, whatever. The only requirement is that it clearly relates to the word of the day.
So without further ado, I'll post my yesterday story, and today to give you examples and then hand you guys the word for tomorrow. The new word will be given as close to midnight as I can post
Good luck and good writing. It's good to be back.
