Hey there! Wow, my very first post on Uncommon Nonsense! Well, I'll start off by giving you a little taste of what's to be expected:
WRITING TIP:
What I like doing a lot is looking at lots of pictures (like on Google pictures, or Photobucket) and finding ones that inspire me to write stories. During one of these sessions recently, I fell across this picture:
and came up with this:
His name is Nait, and he's the young captain of the
Eclipse, a small but sturdy airship. His first mate, who's also his best friend, is a magician named Licia. Between them, nothing in the four skies is off limits. Nate's also an orphan. His mother died at childbirth and his father, the queen's commander if chief, died during the resent, unexpected coup. After his father died, Nait ran, not daring to collect his father's personal possessions until a couple years later when the price on his head had gone down a little. But when he did stop to read his father's journals, he found the secret to a treasure so wondrous, it had been known to drive the most respectable sky pirate mad--the Keys to the Sky. On his treasure hunt, he meets up with Anda, an anti-social self-taught acrobat, who somehow holds the answer to it all.
See? And all that from one, teensy-weensy, little picture of a guy with an old gun and a nice-looking jaw.
