My first Story!

When I first started this blog I informed you that I had a dream of writing a novel. And that fantasy is my genre of choice. Well I wrote a small portion of a story years ago. A Blurb. A prologue. Had ideas, but they were not well thought out.
   
   Well I suppose it is time I put it out there, who knows maybe some reader will have ideas to share with me and will spawn ideas of my own and i can continue.  I would love it to continue.


So here it goes.......


  The room fell silent and still when he entered the inn.  Heads turned in his direction, conversations halted and patrons libations sloshed en route to mouths, some even in mid swallow.  
  At first sight there would seem to be no evident reason to take pause and pay any attention to the stranger.  He was average in size, medium build and height.  His shoulder length hair brushed across his face as a breeze  in which he stood curled in from outside the open doorway.  A pair of gangly shipmen were the first to break the silence.  "Close the damn door! I'm here to get outta that bloody mess!" muttered the roughest of the sailors.  The stranger in the doorway lowered his head and took a step into the building and towards the loud-mouthed sailor. With his left hand he gently guided the Inn's door closed.


   He was dressed completly in black, save a pair of green leathered gloves..He took another step further into the Inn.  Bringing both gloved hands to his face he pulled his hair away and place it behind his ears. Raising his head head slightly, he gazed intently on the grizzled sailor.
  "Don't be startin' 'nottin Ned....," whispered the companion boatman. "You know the Cap'n said you had better'd keep yer mouf shut fore we set out in the morning".




OK......that is hard to type and read, it has been to long since High School.  I will have to keep adding bit by bit.  Believe it or not that is 3 pages worth of my little notebook.
Till next time

MOvember!

Ever do something because everyone else is? I have, and I am.  But this is for a good reason and cause.

It is Movember, the time of the years when facial hair dominates the month. Every man vainly sports a moustache to raise awarenes for Prostate cancer research. All cancer research is important in my books. while no-one i know in my family has died or suffered form this particular type, I do have friends and family that have had cancer.  My wifes father passed away this spring having had it take over his internal organs. http://mobro.co/AdrianBou
I don't like asking for funds but if you are feeling at all generous please take the time to pledge for future research.

Thank you
