Welcome to the Workshop.
"There is an island of cats somewhere lost to mankind in the desolate sea of dreams, where I am welcomed and treated like their kings." - Wistful Traveler's murmuring.
My wistful mer's aside, thank you for stopping by my workshop. Right now there's not much here except for an empty cyberspace room, the first post and this cracked mug. It's a start.
Ah, first let's do introductions. My name is Daniel *bows, nods and does the digital handshake*. I can be found on facebook, but for right now I don't have a separate account properly setup and wish to keep the current account narrowed to friends only. In due time, once this shop is set up properly then all sorts of wonderful web-tools will make this whole experience better. Why, there will be updates to feed your digital devices. Information to spend your time on [especially those uneventful lulls in the day]. Things will look nicer, and those page tabs will be filled with something I assure you.
Hmmm... more about me? Well there'll be time for that.
Let's see... This blog is part of a series of projects to come. It will be filled with short stories and perhaps updates if future web devices like Twitter aren't sufficient for that cause... For now, construction.
All this, it sounds a bit aimless and directionless, let's try to focus
*fingers to temples*.
Ah.
For now I guess I'll talk about the other blog also under construction... Why multiple blogs Dan? Why? Fufufu...
Mysterious chuckling and chin cupping aside, this blog is basically my personal page. It will hold up a list of the projects that I am working on along with access to it. As for what those projects are? Well stories. I am a writer. I may not have million dollar best seller lists under my name, but we all have to start somewhere. I have been working on my writing art for several years now. Though these technologies have been about for quite some time, I have only recently focused my mind towards their use seriously. There is a simple reason for this.
I had to make my writing worth reading.
Sounds simple enough right? To be able to make stuff worth reading, one must do much research and practice. And so here I am. Finally confident enough in my skills to share with an audience greater in number then the characters in my head. And there are plenty of those. Plenty.
Small steps lead to a journey and feet worn; well traveled. There's plenty of other ways to rewrite and reword such phrases. The message still finds its use here.
First is the setup of this blog, and another specific blog between me and one of my fellow co-writers and personal friend. I am not so sure if he wants his normal name out yet, though he's had a blog for a while that sported his name. For now I'll just call him the Suicidal Zombie. You can call me Pensmith. I believe this pen-name is easier to handle then my actual last name. And what would that be? Oh you curious reader. Denied! For now. Moving on.
The other blog is ernestdemon and you can find it on blogger. The title for the blog is "The Bleeding Locker and Last Night's Homework."
What's with the long and drawn out name? Well it has many meanings and like some mystic I'm going to wave my fingers and look into the distance and say, "You will understand, soon."
At the Ernest Demon blog we will be working on a series of short stories. Consider it like a web novel if you wish. The goal is to create snippets of literature enjoyment which can be consumed easily by the average reader. Through this, we will have some form of credentials. Of sorts. It's easy to say, "I'm a writer." when you meet people. But when there's no way to really give proof, because you've been working on a series of manuscripts over the years trying to correct your skills and craft your stories - well. It's just awkward.
A web novel of sorts. We will be creating content along with developing the blog and figuring out all the other little web technology tools on our way. We hope to reach out to others who have an internet presence. We hope that we won't starve to death as we work on our dreams. In the mean time, please enjoy what snippets we can give out before the actual 'launch'. Please be exceptionally patient and earnest, expectant, interested.
Well this little moment of procrastination is over.
Thanks for your time~
Hope that you'll return when things are properly set up.
Our ultimate goal in the end is for our work to be... A good read.
