Welcome to the Distracted Delusion
by distractingdelusions
Welcome to my new writing blog. After a couple of previous stop-start attempts at general blogging I decided that this time I would do something I could get into and could be enjoyed by anyone, rather than appealing solely to a minority of like-minded readers.
To the point!
The raison(s) d’être for this blog are (in the following order):
- To produce a new short story, no less than 750 and no longer than 1,000 words, each week.
- To interact with readers and produce something that benefits both the readers and author.
- To give me a focus and a challenge to keep my writing fresh and you, the readers, coming back for more.
- Most importantly, this is for fun.
Fun, really?
Yes. Whilst I won’t pretend this isn’t a good way to expand my portfolio and reach readers who would otherwise remain blissfully unaware of my writing; the aim here is for this blog to be enjoyable for both, you, the readers and me, your author.
How this Works.
As stated, the aim is to produce a new short story each week. Your part in all of this is very simple:
New stories will be posted each Friday afternoon at 12:30(GMT). Once the new story is posted all readers are welcome to submit their ideas for the title of the following week’s piece.
All title entries are to be sent to: distractingdelusions@gmail.com
I shall select and announce the title for the next piece by 12:30(GMT) the following Monday and the completed piece will be posted the same Friday as stated above.
Whilst I have more experience writing in the horror, sci-fi and fantasy genres, the style of each story will be dictated by the way in which I interpret your titles, so be as creative as you can and I shall respond in kind.
I look forward to your title suggestions.
Sincerely,
Ben, (from the corner of your eye).
Look forward to reading what you have to offer and I’ll throw some titles into the mix!
