Let's try something new

Hello followers,

I have always been a person that has ideas for stories going through my head. Certain triggers throughout the day/week/month add fuel to these thoughts. Some are good stories that deserve to have a little more attention put to them than I have time to do. Some are bad or could be considered disturbing enough to friends and family that I think they'll be just fine staying the dark recesses of my mind, thank you very much. The problem is that when one of these stories (good or bad) gets in my head, I need an outlet to let them out. To let them breathe like a fine wine if you will. I have written and submitted titles to publishing companies before (albeit for children's stories) but this hasn't satisfied my need to share my tales. I need a medium where I can type and express myself and not have to worry about the former English majors of the world telling me to stop expressing myself in the passive-agressive (I married an English major, I'm allowed to vent).
Novel Blogs have recently captured my attention. What a great way to get your ideas out there and see what sticks. When I feel like adding two or three more page to a story, I can easily do so. Novel Blogs also give you the ability to gather feedback from people who are following your work not because it is their job but because it is something that interests them. I think that the aspect of a Novel Blog that is the most appealing to me is that the story can go anywhere. Yes, I have an idea in my head (again, several ideas actually) and I know how I want the story to go but who says that I don't change my mind halfway through and take the tale in another direction. What if I read a follower's feedback and say to myself "Now there's an idea I had not thought of". This format allows the writer and the reader to become one in the adventure, grabbing on to each other's ideas and taking them for a ride where neither of us know where we will land. Sounds exhilerating doesn't it?
Thus, we come to this first story idea "Game of Chance". I admit that this is one of my darker and more grusome concepts so if you are offended by graphic descriptions of violence, I recommend you proceed at your own risk. The story is not going to be gore on every page but it will definitely have it's moments where you begin to question if I should have some physiciatric examinations done. Taking place in Las Vegas, this will be a game of cat & mouse with the definitive Vegas edge to it. I will try to research (using Google or Wiki) most of the hotel/casino locations that I write about but I'm not promising that all of my descriptions or details are going to be perfect. It's been a while since I've been to Sin City and it seems to change it's image every two years. I will also take some liberties with casino and hotel security but hey, it's a story. If you want to pick apart a work based on it's facts, I'm sure that there are some political novels on the market that would better suit your fancy.
Again, this is my first venture in to this realm so maybe this works, maybe it doesn't. Let's throw it out there and see what sticks. Let's travel to Vegas! I look forward to the opportunity of sharing the ride with you.
