I’ve been working on my Miska story for class, and as such have more material for you. Some of it is rewritten old stuff, some of it is new. I think I’ve done a better job of firming up her voice, and showing off her life. I hope you enjoy it!

Writing Exercise: Experimental Miska Piece
In the course of writing an exercise piece for class, I ended up writing what might work as a short scene for my Miska story. It’s a bit odd, given that I changed narration style, but the core conflict feels right. I hope you enjoy it!
Story Snippet: The Sequel to Rum Luck, pt 1
Today I have the beginning to a sequel for you, a continuation of the story I started in Rum Luck (rough draft of that story can be found here). If you like Andre and Jerome, you’re in for a treat. It does end rather abruptly, but there’ll probably be more soon. Read on, and enjoy!
Miska, snippet 3
Two previous scenes with Miska are up so far, here and here. Let me know if you like this!
Also, I’m going to be on hiatus next week; I’ll be working for an awesome theater camp in upstate New York (or as one of my friends calls it, “Narnia”), and I’ll be way too busy to post anything and probably won’t have access to the internet anyway!
Enjoy some more Miska after the break.
More Miska
Last week I gave you a story about Miska, who wants to leave home for the sea. Here’s a little bit more for you, maybe not directly after the previous piece but definitely following it.
Enjoy!
Miska, The Girl Who’d Be A Sailor
Miska is a character who’s shown up in several of my drafts of various stories in the Elven Progenitors universe for a while now. She started off as a secondary character in the backstory of another secondary character, but quickly took on a life of her own in my imagination. I always wanted to find out how she’d come to be where she was, and I tried, again and again, to write it. But every time I tried, I lost interest within a few pages. I was just dead *bored* with what I was writing, which I took to be a bad sign. I tried, and tried, and eventually I gave up and put the story on the backburner, but yesterday I had an epiphany and started writing down notes like mad. My first scene based on those notes follows. It turns out, I wasn’t going back far enough; I needed to see how it was that Miska, the Pirate Queen, went to sea in the first place…
