Fiction Friday: Naked Came The Jayhawk: Introduction

One of the things I've struggled with as I've tried to decide what kind of writing career (or side job) I want to have is accountability.

I let the fear element take over far too often, blaming writer's block for my own shortcomings.

This is not to say that I am not afraid; that is legitimately the case from time to time. I am probably, however, granting that fear too much power and credit and not doing enough to kick its ass.

So...that leads to this. Today, I am going to make myself more accountable, and work on more writing.

I am serializing a work in progress novel. The first chapter goes live later today, and subsequent chapters (or even parts of chapters) will publish every Friday for "Fiction Friday" until I think I have a first draft completed.

This means it will be raw and unvarnished; it truly will be whatever comes out of my mind when I sit down to write and work on it. 

But I need that deadline. I need that accountability. I need something hanging over my head if I am going to get some things done.
