Magical findings

You ever stumble across something so exciting, so amazing, from your teen years or childhood?  I did the other day, while trying to pack (more like putting it off). 

I found the old comics that I did in junior high with my sister, and also an old roleplay/story me and my sis wrote in high school.  Honestly, I don't even remember writing half of that stuff.  I found my old drawings of Winko, the talking bunny rabbit who looked like a dog, and his pals; Charlie the bipedal "chipmunk," and all the old gang.  I sort of wish I hadn't stopped doing comics.  I miss drawing.

In the story, I found the narrative of a vampire and necromancer, complete with adventures involving witches, herbalists, Dwarves, and an African mystic named Aheem.  And magic, plenty of magic.  I began typing it up during an impromptu Words War at a deviantART chatroom.  I guess a Words War is when a bunch of people get together and compete to see how many words one can write in a set amount of time.  It was fun, and afterward my mom had me go pick up a pizza from the convenience store and we ate pizza and watched tv together; Big Bang Theory, my favorite show.  So, a good day overall.

I also bought a book at the bookstore that's going out of business.  They FINALLY brought their prices down to 40% off so I felt less guilty about getting myself a short story anthology that I've been eyeing for weeks now.  Just another book to pack, but I don't mind.  I'll find room tomorrow.

And a guy named Roman checked me out at the pharmacy today when I was there buying my mom some Sudafed.  It's a very cool name; I'll have to use it in one of my stories sometime.

  1. I stumble on things like that all the time. Probably because I keep everything XD

    I tried doing comics once. Not really my thing. I still like playing with visuals and formatting in literature though.
