The Daily Creation was an idea I had to create something daily. Well, one week in and I'm discontinuing it. While I still intend to create daily, I will not be reporting or sharing along that aspect of my life. It's too stressful, and as I told someone else, I work well under deadline and lousy under pressure.
On the other hand, I have looked into Kickstarter as an option to bringing you more fiction projects but have found them insufficient to my long-term needs and recalcitrant at allowing me to use a non-DBA penname. Surprisingly, you don't have to get a doing-business-as to use a penname. Just provide your real name whenever legal items or payment is involved.
That said, I've been studying successful fishbowls of Anke Wehner, rix_scaedu, and Ysabet the Wordsmith, and I think it's a good way to develop and stockpiling the fiction and nonfiction frontlist I've got mulling over here.
Creating is a messy process and sometimes attempting to document it only derails what you're trying to do.
I'd never heard of a fishbowl in the writing-fiction context. Now I know what it is. What wonderful, creative acts are going on all around the Internet every day!
It really started going against the whole grain of being unafraid of silence. I had to not just create something, but something sharable. Last I checked, my creativity doesn't like that kind of straitjacket.
I have always loved prompt fiction, so it was so wonderful to learn that it really was doable for original fiction. I was starting to feel bereft of my interrogative community of fellow creators that fandom provides in spades. And I like this better than trying to do it on Kickstarter. This doesn't have the same kinds of limitations.
