New Mini Story Ideas

We are back and continuing to create the Pages of Pentacle story but I take a creative aside to talk about the Avant-Guarde Gambit created by the Professor and Historian Griselda Pollock. Also, I go down the conspiracy rabbit hole in creating my cult antagonist group for the Cursed Detective Story.  Thanks for listening Dumb Test Slate Substack Images Used: Image sourced from the Public Domain Image Archive / New York Public Library Image sourced from the Public Domain Image Archive / Münchner Stadtmuseum  

I finally back and continuing my Pages of the Pentacles/ Cursed Detective story and this time I get more into the background of the Cursed Detective novel story that will be told at the same time of the Writer's Story and the Pages Fandom group.  This story in 3's is around the theme of Anxiety.

The new idea bug bit me so I had to put all the other ideas that I've started and jump head first into this one. This new idea includes, a cursed detective, an occult group, an out of control fan group, and a writer who lost his edge.  Thanks for listening.  Kirk on a Budget Substack Cover Image sourced from the Public Domain Image Archive / Wellcome Collection

I'm finally back and after peering into the rabbit hole of all the stories about missing scientists and researchers, I have created my own 3-story idea starters to explain what is going on with them. Well what in my fictional imagination is going on with them.  Thanks for Listening Kirk on a Budget Substack

I'm back towards the end of the year with a new season and a new story idea to go alone with it.
