Let's begin this whole story-fist thing with a short narrative tale.
Some years ago I decided to start a web-comic. I soon realized that I had a hard time crafting dialogue, and also couldn't really draw. So I thought about enlisting the aid of someone else to draw, but that didn't really work either, It turns out that I'm bad at working with others and working to deadlines. So I decided to jump on the internet fun machine by starting my own blog. I wanted to be one of those internet funny types, and I used some of my naturally absurd and surreal humor. It didn't translate as well as I might have hoped, and due to my failure to post regularly and my dejection when it went unread, it never gained a following. Honestly, this was probably a result of it's hodgepodge character, I filled it with failed artistic endeavors, shoddy attempts at humor, and towards what may be the end, with reviews of the various things I did in my life. It was not anything clever or original, and it was never posted on with enough frequency to become the sort of blog someone would care about. Someday soon it may again become the target of posting but for now it is dead. But I will not morn my dead creation, for in declaring it dead, I have found new purpose. I have begun a separate blog, with a specific purpose unto itself. A blog that contains will contain the stories I spin, and the worlds I weave. Sometimes I will tell a full story, others I will construct a world perhaps a simple framework, perhaps a detailed cosmos. Sometimes those worlds and settings will be revisited, and a story written in them, or sometimes those stories will be left as an exercise for the reader. Unlike previous endeavors, this blog will receive updates on a regular basis, I cannot promise more frequency than weekly, but weekly updates are in the works. Perhaps they will increase in frequency, perhaps my other blog will be revived. This time, however, I will keep up a schedule.
And a few stories more.
