Six New Stories Completed Since The Start Of July

I have been enjoying a (for me) unique writing spree since the start of July, with drafts finished for six new swords and sorcery tales:

5th July - "From the Ashes" - 6,800 words

9th July - "Masks of Deception" - 7,000 words

13th July - "Trapped in the Dreamlands" - 6,600 words

26th July - "Escaping the Dreamlands" - 15,200 words

28th July - "The Narcolopsia" - 4,500 words

4th August - "The Dark Sacrifices" - 11,800 words 

51,900 words in total.

Four concern my hero Welgar,  one is about Horbeck and another is about Ossani the Healer.

I am now two thousand words into a story about a companion of Horbeck, Asnar the Josanian. 

How long this spree will last I have no idea, other than it will certainly end by the start of October when I begin reading submissions for Swords & Sorceries: Tales of Heroic Fantasy Volume 11. From past experience this always puts a complete dampener on the own writing, which is unlikely to revive before I start reading submissions for Swords & Rockets: Tales of Futures Past in January. Still I have now 34 swords and sorcery, dark fantasy tales finished and another likely to be finished soon, which I am happy about as I only fairly recently began to concentrate on this genre.

Escaping The Dreamlands - my third new Welgar story since publication of Welgar the Cursed


I am now up to 12,000 words of a new Welgar tale, "Escaping the Dreamlands", a direct sequel to "Trapped in the Dreamlands" which I finished a few weeks ago. This marks the third new Welgar story since publication by Tule Fog Press of my collection Welgar the Cursed

All of my Welgar stories follow on from each other chronologically to form one ongoing saga.

A new Welgar story finished - Trapped in the Dreamlands

I have just finished the first draft of a new Welgar tale, tentatively titled "Trapped in the Dreamlands". It stands at 6,600 words long and follows the events that unfold when Welgar feels a compulsion to visit the family he has not seen for several years in the northern hills.

This makes the second Welgar story I have written after publication of Welgar the Cursed by Tule Fog Press, the first being "From the Ashes".
