New Writing Projects

August 17th, 2010

I’ve been working on several fiction writing projects over the past few years. Lots of starts and stops on the various projects, for all the usual reasons. But I’m excited to put a couple of projects out there now — one is a completed novel, and another is a novel-in-progress.

The completed novel is entitled Clayton and His Flailing Attempts To Get All Skullduggery.

The novel-in-progress is entitled This Is How We Crashed the Homecoming Dance.

Putting these projects out there is allowing me to first and foremost focus on the writing and editing of the actual texts. But another reason for doing so now is because I’m very interested in the new and emerging ways people are finding, sharing, and reading stories. It’s all changing so fast. There will always be the book, but there is now so much more than the book. This is a good thing. When it comes to words, the more ways to share and spread them, the better.

So I’ll be posting these two novels here, in installments, but in other places as well, such as wattpad, and tumblr, scribd, and other sites and communities that I’ve yet to discover or engage. I’ll also be writing about the experience here, sharing some of what I’ve learned, as well as pointing out other interesting writing projects I come across that are being published and shared in new and innovative ways.

So, here it goes.
