The Goblin Tale part 2 is Complete!!

Alas, after roughly five months and three weeks I have done it again! Today I completed part two of my dark fantasy series, 'The Goblin Tale: A Rebellion in Fairyland'. I must say that this story went pretty smooth considering that I had absolutely no direction as to plot development or anything in between. I know my stories have a habit of basically writing themselves but this was ridiculous. It was almost like the story was possessed! I am absolutely elated with the final result and, I must say, when I re-read the story start to finish, to say that it all fits together is an understatement! For now, as always when I finish one of my works, I have no idea what comes next but there is always another project be it a short story, novella, novel, article or anything. Idle time is the Devil's handy work!!

Using different viewpoints and plot twists

The use of plot twists in some of my works sometimes happens by coincidence. It's not always something that I plan to use. Rarely, there can be more than one viewpoint narrative which can take different characters different places. I feel that as long as all of the narratives involved contribute to a magnificent tale, then it shouldn't really matter. It's especially true with the current story I'm working on now. I'm actually surprised at how many viewpoints take shape but they all seem to coalesce quite nicely. In truth, this project is my take on creating the epitome of a masterpiece in regards to the structure of the classic fairy tale. I never really thought I would be able to complete the first one the way I did, much less another one as well! And, when all is
said and done, A third part is also creeping rather deeply into my subconscious.
