This week I'm doing a writing workshop with my 10 year old son. Last night was our first night where we nailed down our story with a quick outline. We decided to write the same story, but my son will write from his perspective and I'll write from mine using the same outline. Hopefully in the end, we'll have 2 stories we can put together to form 1 great story.
The part that you won't like is, I'm going to write my story here. For some reason the only way I can write is with my phone. I've been writing this way for over 5 years so it's become a habit for me. I could write faster and better using a normal computer, but my mind always draws a blank doing it that way. I figured if I'm going to write a story, I might as well slap it up on my blog. Unfortunately, it's not what my readers want to read.
It seems every time I write creatively nobody reads it. I pour my heart and soul into a grand masterpiece and nobody gives a crap about it. All they want to read is about gaming or some kind of angry rant. It's a bit demotivational when I do it. When I do break out of my shell and post a creative piece I get hardly any hits and 0 comments or Retweets. Not that comments and Retweets are super important to how I feel about my writing, but it would be nice to get some real feedback on my stories.
Anyways, I'll be posting my story my son and I came up with. It's a bit kiddie because he is only 10, but we came up with a pretty cool idea for a story. At least I think it's a cool idea considering it's more of a pre-young adult type of story. This week I'll post a chapter a day. You'll get to read 4 chapters of the story and most likely that is it. Next week I'll talk a little about my son's story, our differences, and how we could make a better story if we kept writing it. As a reader you can help give feedback or even ideas to help the story. I'm not holding my breath though. You'll just have to skip my feed this week if you want my normal dick and fart jokes.
I hope you do read my story and help my son and I think of better ideas for the story. Thanks for reading.
I look forward to seeing what you two will come up with :)
ReplyDeleteI was going to say what a cool dad you are but then you went all emo so now I gotta go cut myself.
ReplyDeleteFor the record I read you in spite of your dick and fart jokes. I don't like dick and fart jokes at all, but I like the rest of what you have to say. Maybe that's just me...if I wasn't bleeding out I'd write more.
Awww, that's an awesome idea. :) Remind me to read it, okay?
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read it. I'll have to drink a lot of coffee first to sit still long enough.
ReplyDeleteI'm ready to read.
ReplyDeleteI'll sort of agree with Pete. You have great insights. I read you because you write stuff that's worth my while, regardless of the trappings.
ReplyDeleteScary!
ReplyDeleteYou're so awesome for doing this. I'll be sure to read along! :D
Dude I live blogged my entire NaNoWriMo Novel... seriously you can't ever get as annoying as that was to my readers :P
