With the sudden onset of writer's block I've found myself unable to complete several of my shorties that I want to post on here. But rather than sitting around and letting my blog die once again I'll soldier on and bring you something I've been working on for what feels like decades.
This is my novel, or at least it will be once I hammer down the first draft. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I won't just stroke off again and finally finish the story I've been trying to tell for years.
I call it "The Super Novas" but that's more of a working title. The story focuses around the titular team that soon forms as the world around them falls apart both literally and metaphorically. As they always say "write what you know" I did just that and based some of this off of a few friends and acquaintances of mine. From the original idea of a few people gaining abilities in a freak accident the current story has evolved into something a bit more substantial. At the heart of it it's a story about a fractured relationship and how the two people involved try their best to keep it together while on the other hand a new relationship is beginning to bloom even though hardships and roadblocks begin to make themselves known.
I've spent months trying to work on interweaving this sort of dramatic tale with the action and adventure that come with superheroics and though I'm not there just yet I know that I'm close to my final goal. Hopefully I'll be able to get it published by the time the world ends and hopefully people will enjoy it and buy millions.
But for now I present to you my baby: The Super Novas. Below you'll find a short synopsis. Enjoy and please comment!!
This is how the world ends. Not with a whimper but with a Super Nova. When her world is shattered by supernatural attacks it's up to disgraced superhero Nicki Bronz to break back into her old life and take charge of a new, more volatile, team. But will she succeed when she has to face a rival super-group out for fame, fairy tales and myths brought to life, and enemies from within her own team or even herself?

Conversations in Tights - In Memoriam
This is the story that started this whole blog concept for me. It started as the simple tale of a man returning home to find that this place is no longer his own. From there it spiraled out into several ideas of doing character studies about what people with superhuman powers would go through in tragic events.
This kind of thinking may make me sounds like a downer by the time you get up to this post if you started reading from the first story but it's these tenuous bonds I hope to explore more of and to reach that goal I've decided to make Conversations in Tights a series of slightly interwoven tales about this group of heroes and how they live doing what they do.
In this tale the group deals with the death of one of their members. This is just the start of it and though it may seem like an ending to most to them it's more or less just a Tuesday.
As always, comment!!

Shrodinger - The man who is and is not
Most of us know who Erwin Schrodinger is in one way or another. Either through internet reference of his Schrodinger's Cat equation or paradoxical experiments in school. It is the cat that lives and doesn't live all at the same time.
I thought about this concept when I wrote up this story as a part of a Writer's Digest contest which I unfortunately didn't win the first go around but I still stick by the tale.
It's the story of a man who is stuck in perpetual unlife after being accidentally exposed to foreign chemicals. What follows is the tale I try to tell of what life is like for him and how he copes with being and not being. Enjoy the story and comment like crazy.

In Five Days - Story of the End
I don't quite remember how I came up with the concept for this story. It was probably just a very simple idea. When the world ends, how do you plan on going out? I for one know I'll be getting shit-faced beyond recognition but I suppose a lot of people don't quite know what they'll be doing. The people in my story seem to have the same problem. However it's laid out rather dramatically here.
As the world ends In Five Days, how will these heroes cope with not being able to stop it? Read on to find out.
