Although this is my first post here on NovaFuture, I am far from being a blogging newbie. I actually started on Livejournal, where I would post news about the website I had at the time before I decided to make it a ficticious blog about everything going wrong with my life. As much as I enjoy messing with other people’s minds, it started to feel like I went too far before I stopped.

I was on Blogger after that, where I turned my blog into a journal of interesting websites and useful programs I would find. Then I began having problems with the technical aspects of my blog and I couldn’t reach anyone at Blogger’s tech support so I left there as well.

It wasn’t until I moved my blog to WordPress did I finally arrive at an ideal formula for its content. All my life I’ve been writing stories and poems in my journal books, and posting them seemed to connect well with the other readers there. It took a long time before my blog had some 200 subscribers but only a handful of them took the time to click on my posts with a like. Still, that kept me going. Then one day I just lost interest in blogging altogether and hadn’t posted anything in months and when I finally did add a new post, it felt like hardly anyone noticed. That put a huge damper on my blogging ambitions.

I still have dreams to publish a horror novel, and after hearing how the online community assisted with the writing of the sci-fi novel The Martian, I figured I can possibly get that same kind of help with my still-untitled novel about a brave man daring to explore an abandoned Jai-Alai building only to discover something truly terrifying inside. I’m hoping there’s a good community of authors here willing to help budding novelists like myself.

Along the way, I’ll post some of my favorite stories and poems here. You will not be disappointed.

Later…
