#WordWeavers July 26 Do you have any fight scenes in your work? What are they like?
Oh yes, and they range from realistic (a tussle with would-be robbers in Shadowed Memories Part 1) to crazy (like...in SM part 2 which I'm putting out in the coming months, where a more supernatural character faces off against a SWAT team being manipulated from the shadows). I really tried to capture the tension in the hoodlum scene, while also breaking down the quick movements of the combatants. In Part 2, there is some "bullet-time" action meant to show how fast and other-worldly a character can be, as he takes out his gun wielding does with his bare hands and objects in the book-store that he tosses with such force it knocks people out despite their protective gear.

"Whatever happens next, it’s your funeral,’ the daemon said.
‘My funeral? As if the universe would just let me die. It’s having too much fun fucking with me.’ Kurai walked into the building and closed the door behind him.
-From Shadowed Memories part 2. While I'm editing, I have to say I'm enjoying the big horror parts and Kurai parts the most. I'm wanting to work on a set of short stories after all this editing is done, but I can't wait to get back to Kurai's world, even if I am starting at book one which takes place way before Kurai jumps into this world while chasing down Argyle, The Bandaged Man.

It burns between my fingers. The cold, dry air, and the stress of trying to stay financially afloat have really been getting to my psoriasis. On the plus side...I've been staying pretty consistent with my writing. I'm over 68k words in #ShadowedMemories part 2 so far. Getting to a rough spot with an action scene that's getting ready to take place. They always slow me down so much, because I worry about not capturing them well enough, clear enough.

"It ends at The Void."
#ShadowedMemories part 2's first draft is almost finished up. Going into this climatic scene and not 100% sure how I'll end it yet, but I have a good idea of how I'm going to close the story up afterwards.

#WordWeavers 01/28: Did any specific world history inspire parts of your story?
Eh...my current wip #ShadowedMemories follows a writer struggling against supernatural forces in the present day. There isn't much of a historical inspiration there. My bigger world, #DarkShadow isn't much for historical inspiration either, it's biggest source of inspiration comes from the #VampireHunterD series. There is room for stories that take from life, like an idea I have for a city run by a totally incompetent wannabe king, and I could see myself expanding on a Plague short I've written with influence from the COVID pandemic.
