andphi's Journal: Writing update

I have not updated this journal in an exceptionally long time. I blame that on working, writing, LiveJournal, FaceBook, and ihasahotdog.com LOLDogs make me smile. LOLCats aren't quite as fun, mostly because cats are only cute as teeny tiny kittens.

I am writing, as I have been for some time now. The difference now is that I am writing three different stories at the same time. Not one story dovetailing three ways, but three relatively unrelated stories. I'm also trying serial fiction, in part because I want to try it and in part because one member of my chosen audience (one of the three stories is specifically for him) is about 9 years old. I don't want to wait two years while I write a complete novel. I'd much rather write sections, offer them to his parents, and cross my fingers hoping they pass them along without any change requests. It will, eventually, be at least one complete novel or anthology (or both), but it's going to develop in bits, with each new bit set in stone. It will challenge me as a writer, as I will not be able to go back and fix chapter 2 based on chapter 8. I'll have to fact-check each chapter before I publish it.
