Dear Reader,
Before I say anything else, I must stress this...I LOVE storytelling. I have a list of stories I've come up with, all of which I've actually started writing. However I've only really been able to finish ONE of them.
Now, first thing's why do I love storytelling? Well, who doesn't love storytelling? We all do it. Even when you walk in your home everyday and say to your wife, "I had a bad day at work." What might that lead into? A story. We've all told lies, right? That's telling a story. (Not that you should lie, I was just using that as an example)

We don't just love telling stories, we also love hearing stories. What do we do when we sit and read a book or watch a movie? We're hearing or watching a story.
I say all of that, to say this: I'm a storyteller and you're about to find that out. From true to life, fan-fiction, and even some original stories. Every week on this blog, there will be a new story.
I'm probably the only guy who will ever say this, but what I'm expecting from my audience is criticism. I know, shocking since criticism is what seems to ruin popular storytellers. Look at what happened to Zach Snyder after "Batman v. Superman". Fans hated it and he stepped down from making anymore Justice League movies. Or Josh Wheadon after "The Avengers: Age of Ultron", not only did he quit making the Avenger movies, but he also quit Twitter and has quit as a movie maker all together. The thing is, I WANT criticism. Good and bad, ESPECIALLY bad. Why? Because I believe, criticism is the greatest way to fix mistakes in your storytelling. I know my stories are probably going to be dumb, but that's why you, the audience, are here, to guide me into how I can be a better storyteller.
And that, is why this blog exists.
Every Tuesday and Friday night, I will post a story, or part of a story for you to critique. I would like honest opinions about my work, don't just say, "great story!", "I LUV UR WORK LOL ROTFLOL!!!XD", "ur so stupid! Batman would never pull a submarine out his belt!", or "I HATE YOU STUPID PANTS!" I want detailed analysis. What did I do wrong? What did I do right? That kind of stuff.
Hopefully, you will enjoy these stories. I know I'll enjoy writing them.
