I think I mentioned before that I’m working on a couple artistic products that fall outside the realm of what might usually be considered “a novel.” They are novel, in that they do not exist yet outside the confines of my skull, but they’re not “books” so much as they are stories.
And while I love storytelling in almost all formats, I’m not entirely sure here is where I should put my not-book stuff. Short stories, fine. Those are just, like, really tiny books or something. Novellas and so on, yes, all that can go here, and I’m even kinda okay with a few audio stories I’ve done. But I think I have to draw the line at movies, and that’s what I am currently working on. Or shows, I suppose? Whatever, a series of pictures stacked in such a way to give the illusion of motion.
Along with one of these projects (the bigger of the two, currently) I think I can also produce a pretty seamless and enjoyable audio listening thing. I hesitate to call it a Podcast, it would really just be the audio commentary to my videos, but it might resemble a podcast in the way one would download and consume it. So I need a home for that too, and I don’t know how Squarespace handles RSS feeds. It might very well. It might not at all. I dunno.
But all of this means other work in order to do my work. I stopped writing a script (already at 2K words I wrote today) in order to write THIS, which is me writing about other work I will have to do once I have written the script and recorded and edited it. I don’t want to think about that. I just want to make art. But that’s just not the way it works these days.
Anyway. I will figure it all out. Maybe it will be through this website, but probably not? I think the Venn diagram of people who are interested in both of my ventures (all three, fine) will have only moderate overlap? I dunno. Maybe more? I guess we might find out!
Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
