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.

A new Welgar story just completed - The Narcolopsia

 

 

I have just completed another Welgar story at 4,500 words, but as it is not really a complete story in itself but reads more like the chapter in an ongoing novel (all of my Welgar stories can be read chronologically) I may keep it in reserve for when, at some time in the future, I might decide to publish all my Welgar stories as a full-blooded saga.

 

The story is currently titled "The Narcolopsia".
