They help me codify the stories in my head. <br /><br />I've seen folks do it before within a blog, and it works generally well. My only advice is to try to make each post a self-contained story, and not just fragments of one that you're tossing out because of a deadline. *Write* on the deadline, don't *publish* on it. It's much more satisfying as a reader to look at something and say, that was a good short story or chapter, than to say, I got my fix this week but it didn't really go anywhere. <br /><br />Good luck! I look forward to it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6651591370075752863.post-3681638775450662262011-05-28T14:02:35.472-05:002011-05-28T14:02:35.472-05:00Hey there!

I think I can count on one hand the number that I've run into and maybe that's because I don't normally keep an eye out for them, but even then that still seems like a small amount.<br /><br />I would think if you did it, updated regularly and the posts were good that you might be on to something.<br /><br />I would give it a go!Oestrushttp://thestoriesofo.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6651591370075752863.post-59420011436596074982011-05-28T12:22:24.418-05:002011-05-28T12:22:24.418-05:00You, m'dear, have (completely and accidentally...You, m'dear, have (completely and accidentally and through no fault of your own) created a monster within me. I read through the Burning Serenity (which will hereinafter be referred to as Boogie Shoes) charter and although I was initially really intimidated by the RP, um, thing, I got to thinking about it and my brain (as it is generally wont to do) kicked into overdrive.<br /><br />Y'see, I have a half hour commute every day. And that half hour commute is Mah Thinkin Timez. During My Thinking Time last night I actually concocted an entire backstory for my worgen spriestess, starting with a young raven-haired Gilnean girl who accidentally killed a mouse with what turned out to be a Shadow Word: Death. Someday soon (yay two day weekend) I will sit down and actually write this thing down. So I'm now having new fun with a new side of WoW thanks to you.<br /><br />TL;DR: Yay. Go you. You find that story and you write that sucker into a bloody pulp. You're awesome and inspiring, and you should run with what you're good at.Stormyhttp://theasylumwall.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6651591370075752863.post-70687225925895541372011-05-28T06:42:08.514-05:002011-05-28T06:42:08.514-05:00I know what you feel like, I've had the same &...I know what you feel like, I've had the same "issue". To me, my blog really was a kick starter to get back to writing after I had a break (which wasn't due to gaming... I think). But then I realized that I couldn't spend as much time on my blog if I wanted to write something else, so I had to slow my blogging in order to find time and leave some writing power to my other projects. I definitely feel like you should try what you suggest if you want to turn your blogging into some other kind of writing, it sounds like a great way to combine the two styles of writing. I'd definitely be interested in reading it :)Zinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14935881612077507321noreply@blogger.com
