“Stitches – Part One”

Hey everyone. It’s 1:55 in the morning on the East Coast. I’m very tired. This is not complaint so much as a general statement of my present condition. I could use some rest.

I’m publishing a good chunk of “Stitches” right now. I know that I stated that I’d have it done, and I will (that I can promise), but I suffer from what is known as WRCS (Won’t Rush Content Syndrome). Just to give you an idea of what I mean, when you read “Stitches”, you’ll note (not to toot my own—actually, screw that, to toot my own horn) the level of depth and and the amount of specifics I put into the story, the world and the dialogue. This is because I enjoy making quality content. I like creating things that don’t suck. I’ve seen too many companies and organizations churn out movies, video games, etc. before they were finished. It’s not okay with me. I mean, I don’t REALLY care, in fact I don’t care at all, since at the very least I know I’m not making those sort of creations, but it’s still dumb that it happens.

So yeah, I don’t like putting things out before they’re finished. Now you may be thinking, “Oh, but you’re putting out ‘Stitches’ before it’s finished!” Now hold on there, bucko, I’m not putting out “Stitches” until it’s finished (I’ll likely make it this week’s Friday Fiction). “Stiches – Part One”, however, is a different story. I know all the twists and turns, and the first part is complete. The second half is what I’m working on currently, and what I’ll be done with by the end of the week. Then, the full story will be released and you’ll all be happy—well, satisfied, anyway. This one isn’t exactly “The Challenge”.

All right, I think I’ve rambled on enough. I’m not excusing the lack of full content. I’m just making sure you guys don’t freak out when you see “Part One” and not simply the title on its own. So, “without further delay”, here’s “Stitches – Part One”.

Good hunting.

Stories are important. Stories feed the mind and inspire the heart. They lift the spirit and challenge the imagination. They have the ability to predict what the future will be, and have the power to reveal the past in a light unseen before. Stories take people to worlds they thought never existed, worlds they thought couldn't exist. But they can, and they do. Stories make them a reality. Stories make them into truth. Don’t underestimate them (don’t tell me you haven’t before, we all have, even me). They are, collectively, the gateway to utopias, dystopias, kingdoms, planets and universes unlike anything on Earth—or, in some cases, all too much like Earth. Stories can wake people up from their brainwashed states and get them active in the world, doing things they wouldn't have had they not heard or read or seen them. Stories can save lives. DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE STORIES, AND DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE YOUR ABILITY TO CREATE THEM.
