I'm excited to announce something new I have in the works. I'm writing a story in a completely different way, and just for you! Very shortly, I'll be releasing a new story here on my blog, but I'm going to do so a little differently. The upcoming piece, or rather pieces, will be on ongoing story receiving updates on a weekly basis. Like the serials of old, this story will be revealed a bit at a time, snippet by snippet. Each week I'll add more to the story, so you, my lovely readers, can read it as it's written.
This is a completely new format for me, therefore I plan to write it in a completely new way. I've decided to go into this story rather blind, instead of adapting one of the many stories already buzzing around my skull. I wrote down a basic list of character traits I would need to know, such as gender, age, and basic personality, and gave that list to a few of my closest friends available at the time. While they created a handful of characters for me, I separately tried to come up with the world I would be throwing these newborn characters into.
My friends came back to me with five brand new characters, to which I added one of my own to complement the group. I spent a day or so acquainting myself with the characters and trying to add a bit of distinction to the indistinct alternate modern world they were about to reside in. Then I just started to write, seeing where the metaphorical pen would carry me and my young characters. I was somewhat scared, but far more excited, by the prospects of this new method.
So far, the writing is flowing as easily and smoothly as a favorite pen. I am, however, aware that such ease may not last forever, but I've decided to go ahead and share this story with you, snippet by snippet. I still no little about the characters, and less about the plot, but because of that, we can discover the story together. I'm really excited to embark on this new journey with you. Let's see where it takes us.
Our adventure begins in one week!
