This series of Opusses (which I have decided to rename Oposts, to suggest brevity and fact, rather than fiction or poems) will now chart the development of two fantasy novels. Yes, you did hear me correctly. Two!
Now, you may be thinking that two novels, of very different stories and worlds, might be too difficult for a sixteen year old boy to undertake, and that one is bound to fall by the wayside, but I am determined not to let that happen. What I intend to do is when I grow bored of one, as they are so very different, I move to the other, and continue to alternate between them as time goes on.
Now, to my news. With my original story, the one with long chapters, I am nearing the end of chapter two, and am on my 35th page. My new story, which consists of short(er) chapters is now halfway through chapter two after just one day of writing (and not even a solid day at that). That's about ten pages in. I think I will strive to finish the second chapter of my original novel (known as Novel A for future reference) and my other, the new one with shorter chapters, does have a title, but I don't think I am going to reveal it yet. Until I find a name for Novel A and so they both have names, the new one shall be known, rather obviously, as Novel B.
So, that's my news on the Fantasy Novel Front. Thanks for reading, and I will try and keep you up to date, and reveal little trickles if information to keep you on tenterhooks , or that's the intention at least. Anyway, it's late and my eyes are blurring through tiredness. Farewell, until my next report!

Follow me for wisdom, scholarly knowledge, reviews, stories, poems and the occasional bit of randomness. But no humour. I have no sense of humour. None at all. Jokes! :)

This is my attempt at a blog for my novel writing. I will continue to update the same Opuss, so hopefully it will reappear at the top of your reading pile.
Fantasy Novel News
I said a very long time ago that I was writing a fantasy novel. I haven't stopped writing that fantasy novel, just things keep getting in the way. Most predominately, school.

You are a very intelligent kid ( I was not being condescending there) so I am sure both will be brilliant. I look forward to reading them.
@blindsilence Thank you very much. I look forward to writing them! ;) So many times I've started stories and they've ended up with just a few pages done and then I go no further. But this time they're both my strongest yet and the ones I've most enjoyed writing, so hopefully I will persevere! But thanks for the encouragement. :)
@DarkPrincessGirl I will do. I don't know if I'll do it today. I've got quite a packed schedule. And I probably won't read all 11 chapters at one! But when I'm done I'll give you some constructive feedback. I won't be top critical, but if I noticed anything that I don't think works, I will tell you! But yes. I will read it. :)
