This is a continuation of my blogging here at WdC
This will be a blog for my writing, maybe with (too much) personal thrown in. I am hoping it will be a little more interactive, with me answering questions, helping out and whatnot. If it falls this year (2024), then I may stop the whole blogging thing, but that's all a "wait and see" scenario.

An index of topics can be found here: "Writing Blog No.2 IndexOpen in new Window.

Feel free to comment and interact.

Day 14.

Wrote this morning for a while, then again this afternoon. This evening I returned to the hand-written short story I started that died. I won’t count those words until I type them up. Hopefully I’ll finish it this weekend.

So… the cryptid story. After the death and attack on one of the diggers, the police don’t want them to leave town so, reluctantly, they are now at the dig site. The fat lazy guy has spent no time in annoying the people running the site.

The narrator has now shown the teeth he found at the site of the attacks, and they match teeth found at the dig site. To explain – they are uncovering a thylacoleo fossil, and found teeth imprints on it. They used dental putty to make casts of the teeth… and whatever attacked this creature tens of thousands of years ago is very similar to what is attacking the people now.

The problem is – the creature is not on file. This is new, hence being a cryptid.

So, I have the survivors together in a very isolated part of the country.

I can feel a big showdown coming… and are still not sure how it’s going to end. Narrator and wife sole survivors would be my best bet, with the lazy guy being the last to die, having saved his friend (the narrator) at the last moment, proving he isn’t such a jerk after all.

At the moment.

The short story? It’s about an entity drawing people out to be drowned. That’s it so far…
