Yes, I know it looks weird, but it stands for Inkies Short Story Month. My beloved writers’ forum, The Inkspiller, has decided to call May the unofficial Short Story month. Some of us were longing for NaNoWriMo again, so the admins came up with something else to get us motivated to write. I’ve decided to try a fantasy, a genre I have NEVER written a single blessed word in before. So, I’ve turned my imagination loose…and it’s conjuring up some veeeery interesting things. I’m expecting to see a heavy Narnia influence, since that is really the only fantasy I’ve ever read. Well, I did read some of Dawn L. Watkin’s children’s books, but those are all rather disjointed. However, about the only Narnia influence coming out so far is in the narration style. My characters are…let’s just say they’re rather interesting, and I’m quite shocked at what my imagination, when set loose on it’s own, comes up with.
The title of the story - which has to be under 10,000 words, and knowing me, will be right at the limit – is Rising of the Sun. I was struck with the idea while reading in Isaiah one morning. Isaiah 59:14-21, if you’re interested. Doesn’t that passage just give you chills to read it?
EDIT: I’ve created a new page where I’m posting my InkSho story as I write it. Enjoy, if you can, and feel free to leave any thoughts, ideas, or criticism.
