Recent Writing Activity

I have been writing pretty consistently lately. I have almost finished a draft of my first short story. It takes place in the same world as my "novel" and involves some of the characters. I quote "novel" because I will not necessarily be publishing it in that form. I have also written drafts of several shorter stories unrelated to my main story. These are shorter, in the range of a 500 - 1000 words. My first short story will probably be around 2000 words.

I plan on making it the first of three short stories that I will finish before I start writing my novel. In the mean time I plan on writing several more of the shorter stories, or flash fiction as they are called.

I am publishing drafts and some other content on Patreon if anyone is interested. I have some plans for after my novel also. Maybe a second book.

Patreon Post and Other Updates

I haven't posted here or on Patreon for several months. Hopefully this will be the start of some new posts. I posted on Patreon today also. I got an email from Patreon about a writers group that is going to be meeting once a week. This motivated me to post again. I'm also going to try attending those meetings. Hopefully that will keep me motivated to keep writing. That's all for today.

Story Start: Survival At All Costs

This is a story about man-kind facing a disaster that would require making some hard choices. I will probably finish this or a similar story at some point. I also have some other ideas about different situations where people consider changing humans to better face challenges they come up against. Survival at all costs. What does that mean? No price is too high? Survival or the individual? Survival of the species? Survival of life on Earth? If Earth was threatened with destruction, what could we save? Given a deadline of a year, what would we choose to do to give our species, or any life, the best chance for survival. It has just been discovered that a small black hole is approaching our solar system. It will swing around our sun in about two years and disrupt the orbits of all the planets in our solar system. Scientists have calculated the approaching black hole will pull the Earth out into a higher orbit. In approximately a year's time, the surface of the Earth will become inhospi

Recent Thoughts on My project

What age group am I targeting? Who is my audience in general? As I have described in previous posts, I am in the beginning stages of creating a story. I will probably be publishing it here on this blog. My goal is for it to be comparable in length to a novel, but I will publish here in chapters. Obviously if I write this whole "book" or whatever it turns out to be, I would like everyone to read it. It is looking like the main characters may be high school aged kids. This got me thinking that maybe I should write this as a young adult fiction. I'm still not sure which way to go with it. I would like it to be interesting to adult readers. Maybe if I just don't go too far in that direction I can keep it interesting to both groups. I know I can't appeal to all readers, so I will have to make a choice at some point.
