So I've decided to write a novel. Well, I had started one before, so I'll simply be continuing what I left undone. I'll be posting chapters up here as I go through with them. I will also post them on my new deviantart account. The account will not be posted unless asked, but it's really the same posts, sometimes different.
-Okay, I feel weird saying that because I only have one follower, which is kind of pathetic, but it beats not having any.-
I'm finished with chapter one, and chapter two is one-fourth done. I'm currently fixing grammar issues with chapter one and adding more text in it all together. It is fiction. I'll have bios of the characters after chapter two, I think. To better have an understanding of the characters besides the description in the novel.
Expect chapter one to be posted in the next two weeks.
The future for this BlogSpot:
-The Novel, most definitively. (I think the title is "Pieces," but I'm still on the starting points of the book so it's not a working title)
-Journal Entries. [NO I will not complain.] Usually my journal -which still needs a title-, is about my day but in the sense of an underlining theme. For instance, I title all my entries to imply the theme and write how that certain issue is intertwined with my day. I also do not write in it daily, so its selective days and it'll be more selected when I post it up.
- Short stories. I like making up stories so this will probably be something big.
-Random messages. Phrases and such, no poems because I tried once and I failed miserably.
-I'm not sure what else I'll be able to post here. I remember hearing that writers rely on experiences to create superb posts. So I'll attempt to experience intense stuff. (An example will be not talking for a day or several days, and writing a story about that. -Story, not the experience itself-) [yes, I talk a lot, so this is big for me.]
Any suggestions will be nice.
I like writing fiction, but nonfiction rules too, so I may post some of that here and there. (Like my journal entries and other nonsense) I did write a post for "SHWYD?" so that's nonfiction. It hasn't been posted. I'm guessing it's because there is an influx of people sending their stories, but part of me still feels that my sent in post was inadequate. But, here is to getting it posted!
Okay, this quick post turned out to be quite long ><

Hey, I read your post on shwyd -- it was really touching and sad. I hope things don't work out the way you fear they will.
As for the novel -- not to be condescending, since we don't know each other or anything, but -- I started one when I was 18 too (I'm 21 now) and it's probs a better idea to keep the early chapters off the Internet. If you're a good writer, people could plagiarize, and then you're pretty well screwed. Maybe that sounds paranoid but if you're considering writing as a career, I'd avoid posting unpublished fiction on here (at least until it's finished and done). When I wrote mine, I used three close, fellow-writer friends to feedback on each new bit. I also started a new email account to backup all my writing, in case my laptop crashed.
Good luck with everything!
Thanks for following my blog, too! I saw your post on "SHWYD?" and liked your blog as well. Good luck on the novel, I'm working on one too, but it's in the skeletons now and it's not going to be very deep but more humorous. I wish you good luck on yours and I would also be wary of posting your chapters on your blog, like Heather said, but you might want to consider publishing on a website like fictionpress.com where your published chapters are copyrighted and protected.
