TechgnosisWeb Prime

So, if you’ve been reading this blog for the past week or so, you’ve probably noticed a couple of entries marked ‘Massively Multiplayer’, and you might be wondering what, exactly, it is.

I’ve been wondering the same thing myself.

But I think I have an answer now. MM is my novel. Or, at least, it will be, someday far, far in the future. Right now, however, it’s my version of a webcomic, and that’s something I can handle. Rather than try to deliver entire chapters, or even entire scenes, I’m delivering little bits. A couple of paragraphs, a few lines of dialogue. Roughly the same amount of story you?d find in your average webcomic strip.

I’ve never quite been able to sit down and write large passages of text, entire chapters. But I have no problem banging out a couple of paragraphs here and there. So I’m gonna use that to my advantage: I’m going to deliver MM to you guys as if I was delivering a webcomic, in small doses, small scenes, snippets of action. A serial story, in words rather than pictures (because I can’t draw worth a shit). And I’m going to commit to the same amount as your average webcomic does: one update, three times a week, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I’ll try to do more, certainly. I may, at certain moments, feel inspired and write out several pages worth of story. But what I’m going to commit to is three days a week, one small update, a few paragraphs long at most.

Let me know what you think, and if you’ve been reading MM so far, tell me if you like it or hate it, and any thoughts you may have. And stay tuned tomorrow for the next installment of MM as we begin our new update schedule!
