Welcome!

Hello! And welcome to my blog. I'm Surprised by Witches, among other names, and this blog is about my writing.
I am a prolific unpublished writer, though you can read some of my stories on the web. I have written a complete novel that I'm attempting to sell, a completed online saga based on the Sims 2, and an ongoing opus (14 stories and counting) about the same small town. You can read my online fiction at Wayward Ink.com. Please stop by, and
if you're so moved, join the site and leave comments. It's free, and you won't be spammed. Please follow the guidelines at the top of the page: we have taken precautions to make sure our site is spam free, so you'll need to send an email letting us know you're a real person.
You will find stories by several gifted writers, about a lot of different topics. The stories are mostly for a mature and open minded audience. There is some sex but that is not the purpose of the story--sex, like death and taxes, is just a part of life.
We started as a sims fiction site but our stories, while based in the game, use it mostly as a springboard for our imaginations. We've included some illustrations--another bonus of using virtual characters.
When I was a kid I thought it would be so cool to have a game where I could bring my ideas to life, and now, lo and behold, it exists. For me the game is like a sandbox where my ideas play and coalesce into a whole. And it's fun to play besides. I've been playing since 2005 and still have not exhausted its possibilities.
But this thread is about my writing, not the sims. I hope you will find the blog interesting, amusing, and informative in your own writing journey.
