I have not written in many years and recently started writing again, sharing my first post here. I'd be honored if anyone would be interested in having a read.

As usual, I had a busy and fulfilling week, ending it with SCI-FI Friday and another part of my "Unintentional serial", here: https://benwoestenburg.substack.com/p/in-the-shadow-of-the-mandalore-d9c?r=254e8w

The two that matter the most are: STORIES, AFTER EIGHT: THE TRUTH OF WHO WE ARE, an ongoing Novella that takes place in three different timelines in both Berlin, and Paris. This is the one I read out on my 'Stack, just because I can, but also print it on my 'Stack underneath: https://benwoestenburg.substack.com/p/the-truth-of-who-we-are-03b?r=254e8w

And of course my SERIAL NOVEL, soon coming to an end for FREE reading...THE SHIELD OF LOCKSLEY (the last chapter comes out this weekend.) https://benwoestenburg.substack.com/p/the-shield-of-locksley-d0c?r=254e8w

Things are slowing down now with my PART ONE of LOCKSLEY coming to an end. There's no point in putting up links to the PART TWO if it's behind the PAYWALL, is there? SCI-FI FRIDAY is almost at an end with my posts, which will leave me with STORIES, AFTER EIGHT as my only entry in the future. Why am I secretly giving myself a high-five?

Here's a short SF story.

A sketch that is both soothing and unsettling....

I published the last chapter of the latest serial for Verse! This is chapter Six from Thorne: The Withering Shore.

P.s. I think I've done the time difference right that it was 16th in the U.S and the 17th here in Australia - but if it falls out of the window I totally understand

Moving

A poem written the night before I moved into college, leaving home for the first time and knowing things would never be the same.

It's the first time I've shared the sixth chapter online! Let's get into some particulars about what's going on with Emilie: https://open.substack.com/pub/dragonwriterluc/p/whats-a-dragon-chapter-6

This is part of a middle grade fantasy novel. I think this chapter in particular showcases the reason I used first-person present perspective for it.
