About
This site was a bit of a web experiment for me. The original plan was to post a “one-page” once or twice each week — a one-page being a rough, unedited, page-long draft of a complete story: that is, a quick story written up in 800-to-1000 words, or approximately one page in length (hence the name).
I had planned on writing non-serial fiction in the main, the occasional brief serial as a possibility, with a genre focus of fantasy, horror, and sci-fi, and updates every Saturday and/or Thursday. By doing this, I hoped to not only give my fans a place to read new pieces of work, but push myself to write more (thus practice more) and be creative, as well as hopefully receive some valuable feedback here and there.
The site went up over a year ago, and while I manged to stick to the plan for the first few months, eventually it fell by the wayside. The stories ended up longer than intended and many became multi-part. Much worse, the posts were written at increasing intervals, sometimes months apart.
A good part of that was and is a lack of readers (as unfortunately I appear to know nothing about and have no ability with marketing or networking, despite on-going efforts to change both situations) and thus also feedback, alongside changing life circumstances, job duties and hours, other more socially rewarding projects, and so forth.
Obviously, the original experiment is effectively over.
I plan to continue posting to the site when I have the idea and impulse to write smaller pieces that fit here, along with longer stories and possibly excerpts I may be trying to work the kinks out of. Be aware I may also muck about with the archives, and things that are here may occasionally disappear or be replaced for various reasons.
I still hope more readers will eventually find their way to this site and become fans and peers (but I don’t know about you unless you speak up!). So, if you have found your way here, welcome! Please enjoy your reading, and feel free to comment on both the good and the bad!
Keep in mind, there is an RSS feed if you wish to be updated of new stories, and members can set up a private e-mail notice of site updates. I also usually mention the posting of a new story in a Friends-only entry on my LiveJournal.
Thanks!
