So this is the 38th day in a
row I've done one of these, which I consider pretty impressive for
me. I've actually gotten to the point where I do feel the need to
complete one before I go to bed.
It's also gotten me thinking about
extending the process. I've written a few pieces about the island in
the fog, and I do want to continue those. But not on a daily basis,
like this. After all, this blog is about putting words down every
night, regardless of their content or quality.
What I'm thinking is this. Once a
week, I write one beat in that story. Sort of a call-back to the
serials of the pulp days. And not just one, but three (to start
with), one updating Monday, one Wednesday and one Friday. Different
stories, each built one small piece at a time, with the intent of
keeping them going for as long as I can.
Not sure about it, yet, and I'm going
to consider for a while before starting it up, but I think it might
suit my writing style very well, which is kind of burst-oriented, and
tends to work in terms of beats and scenes, rather than plots and
threads.
So, the ones I've got in my head are
the island, a horror story I've worked on some on my Kindle (as that
was how the main character was writing it), and some kind of
science-fiction piece, since that's my favorite genre. Maybe the
Kevyn Murder thing I've had thoughts about for a while, or maybe try
to write up something about Nemo (a Champions
character I am very fond of).
But that's a maybe/maybe-not thing
right now, and it's really time for me to head to bed. I will speak
in all of your various directions on the morrow.
