Before We Begin
I suck at writing. I'll just say it now. I write the way I talk. So sometimes my writing feels incomplete and other times it feels sporadic. My grammer sucks, and my older brother whom I respect as a talented writer has said that my writing almost gave him a brain aneurysm. But I have a lot of ideas and I NEED a creative outlet so read at your own risk. If you like the ideas I come up with please feel free to use them for your own creative writing. If you have what it takes to get published, do it. I don't need fame, or money, or even recognition. I just like the idea of my ideas coming to life. as if it's the idea itself that needs to be seen, not me.
Story 1 - The Sacred Sage Returns From Heaven For A Remedial Lesson
I love isekai trash. I'm sort of an expert on the topic at this point. So I feel like my first idea has to be isekai trash. The idea is the First Sage, credit with creating magic becomes complacent in heaven to the point God believes he would do well to return to the world to feel something again. (The layers of Irony in that are not lost and I hope you feel the same) Upon his return he finds that magic has been watered down to set rules that are followed like law that limit the depth of magic itself. From here The Sage easily outclass any magic user but because he's a sage he doesn't seek earthly desires, rather he yearns for people to reconnect with magic itself so he travels the world breaking magic taboos he believe were designed to restrict the freedom of the people.
Story 2 - The Bog Knight
This one is kind of a psudo passion project as mine as certain elements of this story we're formed from a long string of pshycosis I suffered(?) through between 2018-2025. So a lot of relgious, sexual, and philosphical elments play a huge role in this story. The story follows a man in his mid-late 20's who is the sole knight of a forgotten order.In this world "Knights" are of a magic caste in a society that lives in union with gods and goddess. Think "Is it wrong to pick up girls in a dungeon" but there all fictional dieties (or not, I haven't decided how deep I want to go) These Knights works as civil protectors, workers, and soldiers. The power of the gods is based on followers.
The Bog Knight, as a young boy, is lost in a swamp after his village is burned down in a raid by bandits. There he comes across an old hag who is surprised to find that the boy isn't scared. The Hag raises the boy and it's later revealed that the hag is actually an old god, goddess of marsh. and the boys devotion to her is what rekindles her power.
I really wanted to write a story that reflects on what it means to be "a man" and self-worth. I also wanted to write
Story 3 - The Courier and the Green Witch
Before you burn me and call me cringe for my self-insert story I'd like ask that you just let me cook first. It wasn't that I wanted to write a story about myself, but rather build a world that I'd want to move through. The world is called THE SHOAL. Unlike our world which is one large planetary mass, the Shoal is actually a space archpeloge made up of fragments of a once larger planet, destroyed in an ancient war called "The Fracture"
