I've started writing a novel and I'm putting it up online on my wiki as I go.
It's a plain and simple story about Enar who goes on vacation and about the people he meets and the places he sees. I'm doing this as a way of exploring the world I've created in more detail and as a way of getting some experience before I start on a bigger, more ambitious, project.
The story has been planned out to about forty five scenes and I expect to average one scene per week. Once a scene has been written I put it up on its own page on the wiki for anyone to read. At this stage the only one who's proofread the scene is me - no one else.
However, each page has its own comments section enabled and I'm trying to encourage friends and family and others I can get in touch with to make use of this. This way I can get feedback on writing and content and I can make changes as needed to correct mistakes and add missing information.
As a reader you are able to see these corrections. The wiki lets you view a page's history and see what's been changed with previous edits.
I'm also planning to put up .mobi and .pdf files of the completed chapters as I go along. That way those who prefer not to read on the screen can get a feel for the story as well. The files for the first chapter are up already and I expect the second chapter to be finished at about this time next week.
I'd greatly appreciate it if you people here on Mythic Scribes would have a look and a read. I'm not expecting anyone to provide any kind of detailed feedback, but just knowing that other writers and people I don't know are able to read my work is a bit of a motivational kick.
Finally, the link to the story's page on the wiki is here: Enar's Vacation
