EMBER LIGHTS UPDATE

 Hey Firelight Wanderers

It's been a while since I've posted on this blog, I've been keeping up with some activity on The Ember Lights twitter but the reason behind this long, very long break was that I went through an emotional moment were my motivation to write pretty much stopped.

Over the lockdown I thought to myself that I have been pushing myself too far, when I released some of my stories in such short timeframes because I did them in bulk before creating The Ember Lights and I was worried about losing that momentum. So I forced myself to try and put a new story every month or so and it became too much when I ended up with no new ideas and a set deadline.

Other things occurred with this blog were I was getting moments thinking what the hell is the point of carry on with all this, I won't go into the details of what caused me to feel this way but it has come up a few times since starting this blog were I've felt worthless, I even now years later still can't call myself a writer because I think I've earned the title, even though I was thinking about getting rid of the blog my desire to write was still very much intact and I've had some ideas running through my head.

What I'm doing is focusing on myself, I'm not rushing for deadlines, I love writing and I love creating these worlds of interstellar travel, immense beast and nightmare horrors. I'm doing this for me so posting stories will be a lot more casual so I can focus on what I want to write, there's other possibilities that I have been toying around with. I've been having the crazy idea of making Ember Lights Merchandise, not sure fully what I would have but I'm liking the idea of having a hoodie made.

So my Firelight Wanderers I'm not gone and I have no intention of ever leaving, keep a look out on the twitter @TheEmberLights and Facebook The Ember Lights just look for the campfires and I will see you all around the flames for some stories and I'll make some s'mores.

In the words of YouTuber Jake Munro "Have a great day by making it a great day" I will see you all later.


Much Love

Martyn

REIGN (Preview)

PROLOGUE: Blood & Curses EGYPT, 4 th CENTURY The great city of Ahkhann was once the glimmering jewel of Egypt a capital of culture, literature and trading goods and was the home of the Pharaoh Re’hotpe, a great man loved by the people of his empire which he ruled for many years. The city twinkled with fire lights and the royal palace was bathed in ethereal moonlight as Re’hotpe was stood on the balcony of his chambers looking out of over Ahkhann, he gazed in wonder and amazement at the colossal pyramid that was being constructed, even incomplete it looked beautiful with the torches fires and the moon gave the pyramid a hazy like glow a monument worthy of a Pharaoh, he left his chambers walking slowly down the hallway lost in his thoughts as passing servants bowed to him, as Re’hotpe continued on his walk his stone mason appeared and approached him, the stone mason bowed when he stopped in front of the Pharaoh “My Lord” Re’hotpe smiled at the man “Ah just the ...

Dust off the cobwebs

Hey Firelight Wanderers   Just a bit of an update haven’t been in the mood to write at the moment with work, increase in rent and bills, and all the shit that’s a been happening in the world my mental health took a right kick in the nuts a few weeks ago.

PÓSADH - A Celtic Wedding

Dedicated to Phil & Sarah I hope your wedding is just as magical as this one and that you two have a  happy and wonderful life together. Glengarriff Forest County Cork, Ireland The night was approaching the sun low in the sky, which was filled with vibrant orange and yellows, everything was ready for the ceremony and all the guest had arrived and were finding their seats. Myra was stood in a clearing amongst the trees surrounding by her bridesmaids who were braiding the beautiful oak coloured hair with ribbons and flowers, they were all smiling as they caught glances of the bride who seemed lost in a world of happiness but also nerves it was not very common for Dryads to marry since they always spend time with their sisters wandering through the forest but when Myra met Nolan she knew it was something special and that he was something special. The two had met on a cool moonlit night she was dancing amongst the beams of light scattering through the trees, as she s...
