Uh ... It's Friday ... Already?

Wow. I shoulda known! Here it is, Friday already -- in fact, it's just become Saturday (for about 19 minutes)-- and I haven't posted that piece of fiction I was hoping to post!

I've thought it over throughout the week. I really can't spare the time right now since I'm working hard on my current WIP and have to finish that draft this month.

So, although I really want to post some fiction here every Friday, looks like I'll have to postpone it for a while.

Somehow I'll find a way, though, if I can. It's a good idea. A little "side project" to distract me even as I focus primarily on my WIP. Nonetheless, if I need that time for the WIP, the WIP comes first.

I'll see what I can work out. Maybe an ongoing serial, posted one scene at a time.

Something.

I'll check back in during April. Meanwhile, you can follow my main blog, Chronicling the Novel, and see how it's going over there!

Hmm . . . .

Other than the prologue previously posted, I haven't shared much of my writing on this blog! This is because the stuff I write is geared toward publication, whenever I can get it out the door, so I don't want to give too much away. But, by golly, I'd like to share some writing here!

I've never been a fan of flash fiction, but perhaps I can find time to create short, short, short stories, or moderately-edited flash fiction to share. Some bloggers take part in various challenges where they post an excerpt one day each week, to give them something to produce and share on a regular basis. I've always avoided that, but perhaps the time has come for me to give it a try.

I'll start something this coming week. I'll post it every Friday, and it'll be short and self-contained each time, just a fragment or scene or incredibly short story, and in each case I'll base it off a title, a word, or an image. Something to kick-start the weekly piece. The point will be to keep my writing flowing, to allow myself to write something that I don't have a lot of stakes attached to, and to share samples of my prose and -- here's the really cool part -- possibly receive some feedback and/or encouragement, which would be delightful.

Check back, and feel free to share your comments if, and when, you have anything to comment on!

Thanks,

Adrian
