A new year always makes me think about what I want to get accomplished in the coming months. This blog was one of those projects last year. This year, I’m considering starting a webserial.

I’m feeling so inspired by fellow writers such as Heidi Cautrell, Nancy Brauer, Vanessa Brooks, and others who are offering excellent, original, serialized webfiction all over the place these days.

I’m still sorting through a handful of ideas and haven’t finalized anything yet, but my fiction tends to be somewhere between sci-fi and fantasy, not just one or the other.  I tend to subscribe to Arthur C. Clarke‘s idea that “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic” and a lot of what I write tends to have an element of that philosophy within it.

I’m probably looking at posting once a week, perhaps more as I’ve got the time, but once a week will be my goal.  I am hoping to have the website, introduction, and first “chapter” up by sometime next week. (That is, if I can choose between the three ideas I’m batting around.)

I will, of course, need some handy volunteers as beta readers and critics, and I’m certainly happy to return the favor.
