Return again

Been awhile since I have used this, since the fire in fact.  In time, I need to be able to write once a week on this again.  But for now, a simple message.



For a long time now, I've been trying to finish writing the story I've been calling Shadow Kings.  However, I've been stuck on the same spots for more than I wish. 
Here is the problem- Writing in first person is very easy for me, in fact it is the best way for me to write cause it's just like me talking.  But, for describing situations that are not present to the characters, it is difficult for me to write them.  
Shadow Kings can not be written first person.  

At least, that was the problem I thought I was having...

I've been reading from other writers that it could also be that I have a block from my first story.  The first story you have in your head is clouding all the other stories that you try to create.  With that in mind, I have at least 5 stories in my head.  Shadow Kings, Scarred, Wolf, Black Coffin, and my first story.
I wanted Shadow Kings to be my first completed one because it's the shortest by far.  
Scarred is going to be controversial and I don't feel like being attacked for it yet, 
Wolf can keep going till I tire from it but I need to do a ton of research and may need help with it, 
and Black Coffin can be from 4 to 12 books long. 
My first story though... doesn't have an ending.  If I start down that road now... I could be on it for a really long time.  Let me say it like this, I started on the story when I was 14.  It is now 13 years later and it can still grow. 
So... what is the point of me writing this?  
I need to go back to it.  
Be a character interacting with them so I can give them room to be free.

I need to write a short story about that world.

What’s most interesting about this is looking back at these characters.  I’ve upgraded them so much in there looks and started so long ago, that I almost forgot what they originally looked like.  But while flipping through notes and pages I have written though the years, I got the plot points down.

Now, I need to push through.
