Last year about this time I made a switch to the format of my blog. The time has come to make a minor adjustment once more. Last time it was the obvious answer to a question I had been asking too many times. This time the answer was obvious before the question was even asked. So, after a year of flexing my fiction muscles, I think it’s time for something that better resembles a story than the free-flow-of-thought fiction I’ve been posting up until now.
The idea for this format of publishing came from the great Mr. Dickens. I remember studying his work Great Expectations and learning that the way that book was originally written was by being published week by week, chapter by chapter in the Newspaper at the time. Since my time to write is severely limited by three jobs, I think this format will keep me fairly well together so that a cohesive work will be created sooner than later. In fact, at this moment in my life, this is the only way I can conceive of writing it at all.
In the following weeks, months, maybe years, I plan on unfolding the story of angels who wanted to help the human race. I will tell a tale that begins in the Garden of Eden, and unfolds right up unto the modern age. Their story of how it happens that they came to help, how humanity came to regard them as demons, and how they redeemed themselves by accomplishing the work they chose to exist so as to accomplish.
This work will be presented in rough draft format. After the work is more or less completed there will likely be an editing process cleaning things up and, depending on my mood, altering the story for whatever reason. Though, I do tend to like what comes out the first time and generally don’t like changing my own work much because I think there is value to the art of the first attempt. That being said, I reserve the right to alter my work if it seems appropriate later on. In the meantime, I will present my work in more than less rough draft format with the belief that a good story will be written as its written, and with the desire that such be the case so that y’all will enjoy continuing to read as time goes on.
If you do like what I write, I have a donation button on the side of the page and welcome any contribution. I’d be very grateful if I can earn a living from my story telling alone, so, every bit helps toward those ends. A buck in my proverbial hat now and then is a welcome incentive! Money aside, I am grateful to be fortunate enough in my life that I can share my stories so easily with any audience, and am grateful that anyone may enjoy my work.
To be sure, may you enjoy!
