The Lore of Culpepper Castle
Hi all! Attached to this post is a link to a short story I wrote for a contest. I’ve used an AI-generated voice for this story as an experiment. Feel free to listen to it.
Today, I think I have the ingredients to begin another story. I believe this will be a supernatural mystery. I’m not sure how that’s going to work, and it may change once I start developing individual scenes, but it’s been about a month since I’ve written anything. However, all that time has not been wasted.
I discovered an Amazon series called Lore, and I love it. Now, I’m listening to the Lore podcasts on iHeart. Most of my stories revolve around lore, and creating lore can be difficult if it’s to be realistic, in a way. Some of the stories Aaron Manke delivers are amazing, and many have given me ideas to develop my ‘own’ lore for stories. His podcasts do the research on historical facts, and I can use those historical facts to create my ‘own’ lore for my stories. Gotta say I’m hooked on them. Check them out if you have the chance. It’s the only podcast I listen to. Take care!
