I'm grateful I'm moving to the postapocalypse time in my stories. It's much more fun to write about how people are moving forward than having to detail the backward movement of this current timeline.

I'm excited to announce my 8th story has been posted today, and I'd love some feedback on it. 🧵

Dark Brandon was really fun to write. It's the beginning of the true split of the alternate universe from our own.

I ended up creating a website to hold my writing. Mainly because I write interconnected short stories and it was the only way to create any sort of coherency. Each story is stand-alone but part of larger arc.

Welcome
I can just hear you asking, why call it the Nudge Stories? And my only answer is it was the only name that made sense. Because at its heart, these stories are about the countless decisions we make…

The Nudge Stories range in time from now to far in the future; they explore the nudges, both overt and covert, moving humanity forward in a way where everyone is considered of equal worth and value and everyone is treated equitably.

What path will you take?

The afterward Inflection Point, while short, holds tantalizing clues for the future of the Habitats.

I'd love some feedback on these stories and if you enjoy them, please share.

The introduction: "1 2 3 4 We declare a memetic war", has Alexandra explaining to Brandon how his name came to be through the battle of the Brandons.

There's the mystery of what happened earlier in the day when the Pharos Project actually happened, and this story deals with some of the fallout.

And while we don't know everything, the conversation between Biden and Alexandra Hanlon gives us some clues.

To make it easier, each interview and video transcript is its own file to keep continuity. Now I'm almost ready to pull everything into one complete story.

Wish me luck!

I got to write a witchy one yesterday, and I really enjoyed it.

Today I'm starting a third edit on a complex story. Since I struggle to write, I tend to write in whatever way it will come out. In this case a transcription of a documentary.

I use commentary (introductions and afterwards) to allow my major characters reflections and explanations. They don't need to be read, to enjoy the story, but they enhance the overall arc of the total universe.

In the future, I'll have to carefully vet the information on any .gov website before I link to it, and that's a damn shame.

Adding another link specifically versioned as archived might help those coming to my site in the future understand what is happening rather than sane-washing everything happening by replacing it.

I'll be linking the web-archive links along with the originals just in case they disappear. I'd rather people know if our gov takes down pub-med articles on essential workers and covid, the impacts of political disinformation, and the mechanisms of aggressive behavior.

I just went through all my stories, (published and in progress) and made sure any of my references are also in the web archive project. I'm going to add both to my end notes, because, just in case.

Every page I reference in my published materials is archived. 😮‍💨

My stories are all out of order and I'll write whatever's in my head, since it's the only way to get it out.

Because everything gets written in drips, I revisit each story after it sits to keep layering on.

I wish I were a more natural writer.

On writing, editing and the joy of finding a story's ending.

I don't feel like a natural writer. Probably one of the reasons I have to force myself to post on social media lately.
Creative writing doesn't come naturally to me. I struggle to bring the stories inside of me out into words.
