Dismembering the story for a look inside.
I sat down with a few vague ideas that included story location and the ending.
A rainy dismal day evokes a similar dreary emotion. Old unused railroad tracks tell of a forgotten past. A railroad station once the center of a community, when abandoned often...

Who did I want him to be and what were his plans and goals? For me, that was the starting point of characterization and the heart of the story's plot.
I knew he was a vampire, and an ex-Templar Knight. In many ways they are opposites and yet synonymous. Both killed without remorse. Both considered...

When I began writing the story Templar‘s Fire, a Gothic Vampire novel (http://www.scribd.com/doc/16391295/Templars-Fire-A-Gothic-Vampire-Novel), I started with an image that stuck in my head. I kept seeing this eerie looking guy hiding behind a stone altar peering around the corner as if he was...

They contacted him online using code he read in articles posted on CHNNEWS.net. The title of the article often relayed his target. If not, he searched for...

Had to take my son to the airport at 5 am this morning and some woman on an earlier flight had left her wallet at home, ID included. They actually delayed leaving by 5 mins, waiting for a friend to bring her wallet to her! The man sitting next to us said it made him check again for his wallet! :) ...

Well, wasn't that one serious night on the town? You dressed to seduce, succeeded grandly, but oops, slightly intoxicated by success you went and forgot to pull out in time to avoid the inevitable. That's right; the Turnee didn't make it, dropped at your feet looking very pale and flaccid. There is...

Several weeks to three months beyond the day of your Turning, life will seem vastly different as will your appearance.
