I'm writing a story as a cereal story, pun completely intended and admittedly awful.
My story is being published for free here at SoL as a short chapter everyday, one thousand to two thousand words usually and occasionally a steamy side chapter.
Free publishing is good, free reading is also good.
There is a new chapter released every day. Not released most days, but every single day seven days a week. I also publish my research and maps over on Patreon.
I publish every morning as early as the web site will allow me; here I publish at 8am EST and after processing you see it around 8:30am, again EST. The story is timed and sized for your morning bowl of cereal or cup of coffee. Which is why I call it my Cereal Story.
But that's not why I'm writing like this or even why I'm writing at all.
There is a background story and it revolves around trying to help my sons.
My woman and her young adult son's all write and write well. The boys are off to college and struggling to pull together every single penny they can. I reflected on their writing talents and very good stories and then suggested they should try putting aside the video games and publishing their stories.
Well that suggestion was thrown back in my face so I became determined that I, as Dad, would lead the way. I knew enough about writing to understand that attempting to write a "Finnegan's Wake" as my first work was stupid. So I decided to publish everyday even if it was a short chapter, I needed small successes to keep my momentum.
So here I am, writing a Cereal Story and publishing a chapter each day. I'm getting strong support here and over on Patreon and some kind people are buying me the coffee I consume while I write.
I get awesome comments on here and folks seem to like the story so far. I, myself, am eager to see where the story goes.
One thing is for sure, this story will find it's way to the end and it will do so one short chapter at a time each and every day. Feel free to only read it one day a week and catch up, I'm writing like this to keep my momentum up and improve my skills.
