《Black Onyx - Forgotten Magic》Announcement!

So, apparently, I have to write at least 500 words here... Might as well say a few words...
Well, over the last 2-3 years I have written my first story, 500.00+ words and it has now come to an end. But fear not, for your boy here will do his best to write more! Free of charge! For everyone and their mother to see!
I gradually became better at writing, now capable of writing an amazing 1000 words every single day without my brain combusting! Such achievement! Much wow!
But on a more serious note, for the most part, I wrote 500 words every day so some chapters were really short because of that. Now I will try to double that speed, to about 7.000 words every week, in the form of three chapters, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
I rarely have any plans for the story and I mostly just spew out whatever comes to mind. Still, while I try to be consistent I sometimes have to go back and change a detail or two, without disrupting the story.
Unfortunately, this sometimes means I get stuck and don't know how to continue, or I branch out the story in many directions and then see where it takes me.
I have tried organizing and thinking of a plot, but unless it's very vague in my mind, I usually fuck it up. It's funny how some things sound so much better in my head, but when they come out on the screen they become a mess. There were so many scenes that worked great in my mind that I just abandoned them later because they came out as trash.
Eventually, I stopped trying to plan since nothing ever went as I wanted it to, and am now just writing what comes to mind, like this thing right now, for example.

And I rarely rewrite anything, so it is a miracle my work wasn't an even bigger mess than it already was. The fact that I kept the characters on the low side probably helped with that, because I can't write them for shit, as you have already noticed.
Fight scenes, no problem. Story? Meh, I'll manage. Conversations and interpersonal relationships? Fucking kill me!
I wonder if this is 500 words already?
Guess what?! It is!
Bye!

Reality Grants One Chance
Some people are lucky, some aren't, some - have terrible luck. Our "hero" is of the latter kind. During young age he got into an accident, which allowed him to learn the fact that he belongs to a rare group of people.. People diagnosed with lung cancer, which he, however survived. Can't say he's lucky, as his life went downhill from that point... Our story happens years later, when his fate decides to make a loop and throw him in the same kind of accident. He gets hit by a truck. Surviving the crash, suffering just a few scratches, he is ultimately "lucky" to find himself out of the hospital in no time.. however every bit of good luck always brings him terrible luck afterwards. This time pushing him maybe a bit too far.. How far? Making him vanish without a trace and find himself in the middle of an unknown forrest. Doesn't sound bad? He can consider himself lucky? Just wait and see...It can always get worse.. always.. .... Congratulations, you've made it through the intro and into the author note! If you by any chance missed the tags and didn't read the warning, please do that now. I really recommend you to. Before you jump to reading, and unintentionally scar yourself, do mind that the story is about a dark, unforgiving world, a world in which you have more opportunities to die a horrible death, than take a piss. Hero doesn't have great luck, he has dumb persistance, he doesn't go through any trial with a breeze, he pays the price of blood, flesh and tears to live..and will be paying for every mistake.. No one outright explains anything to him, just as us for the most part - he is not sure what the hell is going on.. Some real survival tactics are used as a base of the descriptions, they are as important to the world and character as any other element.. Mind that the story starts really slow, but as the stone starts rolling downhill - the pace gets faster.. Every tag for this novel has a reason to be there, so if you don't see the particular element there, don't panic.. it's either well camoufalged, subtle or simply not encountered as of yet. Big thanks to Hobbo, Enyhrye and Hveth! ...not only pointing that the description could be better, but providing invaluable input.. and being patient enough to give fleshed out advice.
