What is Magic Falls?
Magic Falls is a story I'm publishing on my blog in instalments in 2013. For now, I'm going to keep details light, but they will be added as the story builds. Each instalment will have links to the previous ones for new readers.
Magic Falls is something of an experiment for me, but I'm hoping for good things. Here are the rules I'm setting myself:
1 - Each instalment will be an absolute minimum of 500 words. Most will be longer, and some will be substantially longer, but this is the absolute minimum.
2 - A new instalment will be posted weekly.
3 - No editing previous instalments, except for typos and the like.
4 - I cannot move onto the next instalment until the previous one is completed.
Why 500 words?
I'm hoping it'll be more. It's just the absolute minimum each week. This way, even if my computer breaks down, this is an amount that I can write on my phone if I have to.
Have you plotted it out yet?
Not really. At the moment, it's an idea. I have some thoughts about where it will go, and I do have the end in mind, but nothing is set in stone yet.
Why are you doing this?
To push some good habits, primarily. I tend to write in fits and starts, so I want to make sure that at least once a week, I'm forced to sit down and write something. Also, I'm very curious to see if I can write a story in instalments and build an audience. I think I can, but we'll find out.
Do you welcome feedback?
Definitely. I'd prefer it to be constructive, obviously, but if you have questions - ask. If there's a loose end somewhere you think I've forgotten, remind me. If you have ideas on what is going to happen, talk about it in the comments, on twitter - wherever you want. I want your input and thoughts on this one.
Is it going to be any good?
I hope so. I think I've come up with a strong idea, and there's definitely the potential for a compelling story in it.
