I’ve reached a decision. I will consolidate my fiction writing under one banner, namely a subdomain under tdhedengren.com, the domain hosting the very blog you’re reading. It’ll be a separate entity, this fiction section of my site, since I don’t want to mix things up too much. Many thanks to those who weighed in on this matter in my previous blog post, and also to those who sent me e-mails of encouragements. It’s interesting to note that none was against this move, although some pointed out that the branding of the various worlds, whereas there are such, like Orn would be less persisting should I decide to consolidate the writing. That was also the original idea with OrnTales.com, enforcing the brand further beyond my writing by having it housed on a dedicated site.
No more, soon. I’ll announce my plans in the near future, and perhaps use the Easter holiday free time to setup a temporary site, and move the OrnTales.com content there. It would be nice to start The Green Knight story on its intended place.
Again, thank you for your input, dear readers. I appreciate it!
Speaking of ‘worlds’ - do you have any other writing in settings other than OrnTales?
Lots, actually, but nothing published in English yet. I’ve been itching to move things other than Orn forth, so this whole decision have partly been about that.
I can understand that urge to write on things other than the universe you created.
After last years NaNoWriMo, I started working on this one universe, and cranked out a novel. After that I worked on small writeups, some comics, everything revolving around that world. But every now and then, I get some ideas, and I think of writing it, there is always a constraint of writing it for the same universe which may not be apt.
Exactly! And although it’s not always good to get distracted from your projects and main focus, I believe that it’s good to make room for other creative urges every now and then. Freedom in writing is a way to make it easier, and as long as you don’t go overboard, I’d say that you’d find yourself getting more done by giving yourself some room.
