Quick words to anyone following my page
I meant to post a short sci-fi story in the vein of a Rick and Morty episode the other day, but the drawback to my writing method is that I do it all in one sitting, usually in-browser. This means that I open up a challenge or whatever, and brainstorm ideas as I write. I improvise my stories without much forethought, and then adjust them as necessary. In other words, I'm very much a gardener, not an architect.
This has resulted in some of my episodic stories to never continue- i.e; the zombie apocalypse stories. Unfortunately, a new drawback was revealed to me as I was writing my latest piece. I was literally three or four lines from being done, when Chrome ran out of memory and timed out. This resulted in all two thousand words of that story being deleted without a trace. I jotted down the important characters and plot points to try and rewrite it at later date.
With that said, I do plan to write more frequently from now on. I realize that my following is minimal, but I like to think there are people who will one day stumble on a short story or poem and be thoroughly transfixed by them. I like to believe that because it's fun to believe, not because I need to believe it. I write because it's more or less one of the only things I'm naturally talented at. Whether or not the contents of what I write can be considered decent, is another matter entirely.
I'll also be continuing some of the other short stories I've worked on in the past few months; the two I can guarantee a continuation of are 'accidents happen' and 'This Empire of Dirt.' accidents happen will be more of a shared universe between other stories, while Empire of Dirt will be a flat out horror story. I may continue Empire of Dirt on r/nosleep, as I feel it might be more well received there than here. If anyone wants to read it, I go by the same handle on Reddit (u/looselyended). I'll also post continuations here, for ease of access.
Thank you to whoever reads this for your time! I hope you continue to read my works. Even if you don't, I hope you continue to read something, because the passage of knowledge is perhaps the only form of immortality we as a species will ever know.
