Introduction

Welcome to the Somnambulist, a sort of "story blog" where I'll develop a story, bit by bit. Posts are typically a few paragraphs and the plot isn't planned, so it'll run as long or as short as necessary.

The idea came from "cell phone books" that are pretty popular in Japan.While I'm not posting this story on websites that are made for this, the idea is the same.

I liked the idea of making a sort of impromptu book; my older stories were written like that: I started out with an idea, or a character, or a place that interested me and then went on from there without having that many plans on what was going to happen next. It was like reading a story as you were writing it.

The stories that came out of this method of writing were... well... shaky at times, plot-wise, but I'm not sure if that's because I was making up plot on the go or because I was in middle school when I wrote them. Either way, this blog and the story that will unfold in it is more a creative exercise than anything, a way to get ideas flowing, and hopefully a way to get rid of writer's blocks that come up while writing some of my other, more planned, stories.

In any case, I hope you enjoy the story!
