This is a continuation of my blogging here at WdC
This will be a blog for my writing, maybe with (too much) personal thrown in. I am hoping it will be a little more interactive, with me answering questions, helping out and whatnot. If it falls this year (2024), then I may stop the whole blogging thing, but that's all a "wait and see" scenario.

An index of topics can be found here: "Writing Blog No.2 IndexOpen in new Window.

Progress Report

So, last time I mentioned in passing my monster dictionary, the decade-plus long epic I am writing.

This morning I received a book which saw me add around 500 more words and a few more creatures.

So, yes, well over quarter of a million words and 430 pages.

In addition, we are talking 6382 names and 5160 individual creatures (or more; some creatures share the name, and some names refer to a group of creatures, so this number is under the actual amount).

And, no, it is not over. my son found a Cryptid iceberg on reddit, so I now get to research some more creatures - heaps I don't have - and trying to work out which are scarypasta fictions and which are genuine cryptids and which are not quite cryptids but which people genuinely believe.

Why do I think this will never, ever end?
