For the past few weeks I had been working on an assignment for my professional writing course that I've been doing. I had to create a web presence with a main node (website) and three supporting nodes. Because I am a writer I decided that, obviously, my web presence would be based on my fiction writing.
This worked well because last year for NaNoWriMo I wrote a science fiction novel that I dreamed of making interactive. By interactive I mean I wrote an Appendix to go with my novel and the idea I had was if I publish the novel online then by the use of Hyperlinks people had the choice of going to a separate part of the novel to read facts and further descriptions of things in the book. By this means my story wouldn't be convoluted with abstract facts that take away from the story. The idea was genius.
Flash forward half a year later and I'm required to make a web presence, and so it seems natural to base it off my NaNo novel.
So I give you my new blog: 'The Whale's Song'.
Updates to it are every Tuesday and Thursday. 8 chapters are already up so if you're interested in reading a comedy/action/adventure/scifi novel then check out the link.
Of course, this blog is entirely dedicated to my scifi novel. I'm not going to be posting other things on it. Unless sometime down the track once I've finished 'The Whale's Song' to use the blog for posting other stories, but that idea is a long way away and I'm not ready to think about it.
So this blog is still active, though I haven't been on it all that often lately due to studies and rehearsing for another show, but believe me, I'm still aware this is here and I mean to keep it going.
Cheers
Peter
