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

BIRD OF PREY

The British Museum ‘Natural History’ London, England 1910 It was late during the night and the street lights emanated their warm glow to the night owls who were still wandering around London, the museum would normally be in darkness by this time of night but several lights were still on, something was amiss inside. Carter turned the corner down one of the hallways quickly his grip was firm the rifle, the weapon was a Lee-Enfield bolt-action, short magazine, repeating rifle and was Carter’s favourite he used it on the expedition, Carter although in his mid-40s he was still well built which was needed for hunting game across the world and it was his skills why the museum had hired him. He looked over his shoulder and signalled to the two people behind him “It’s clear” he stepped out and they entered the main foyer and took up a hiding place amongst the glass cabinets near the large stuffed elephants that stood proud to welcome visitors when they arrived during the opening hours, Carter l

QUAKE (A Titan Story)

MFD Team Members - Natasha Reynolds: Biologist/Ecologist - Akhila Khatri: Military (Indian Armed Forces) Devarukhkar Favela Rurshan, India Stretching far across the area it was a sea of hand built homes and stalls, corrugated metal and dirt, the town was a massive community of those sadly unable to afford even the less finer luxuries but that still didn’t take away the spirit of the community, everyone was willing to help each other in need and they never felt any poorer for it. Natasha sat in the back of the red jeep as it wound its way through the dirt roads heading towards the favela, she looked at the survey data on her laptop over the past week the area had begun suffering from unusual seismic activity any unusual activity like this was something that the MFD was always eager to investigate in hope that no creatures were involved. Natasha swept the sweat from her brow and retied her hair back into a pony tail to help keep in from getting in her face despite the setting
