In spite of the title, Story to Nowhere has arrived at a place where I feel it’s best to stop.\u00a0 For those of you who have been following the story you may well appreciate why.<\/p>\n
For those who haven’t been reading Story to Nowhere, you can always go to the first episode<\/a> and read it through.\u00a0 The last episode<\/a> will make little sense without the context of what has gone before, so I hope you will be able to take the time to to read through the whole thing.<\/p>\n I know that there are plenty of people who enjoy reading these episodes as they appear and it may seem odd that I’m choosing to end something that looked like an ongoing tale.\u00a0 Some of my reasons actually tie in to why I created it in the first place and what I’ve been thinking for the future.<\/p>\n I started Story to Nowhere as an experiment.\u00a0 I wanted to do a kind of comic strip (or illustrated story if you prefer)where it wasn’t planned in advance and grew organically week by week.\u00a0 When I set out I didn’t really know the character very well or his situation.\u00a0 For quite a time I didn’t even know his name and went for quite a time thinking that I didn’t need to name him at all.<\/p>\n The relationships with the other characters surprised me a couple of times (because of the unplanned nature) and the unfortunate accident suffered by Caroline wasn’t planned at all and transformed it into a vehicle for me to explore some personal issues, which proved to be very cathartic in many ways.<\/p>\n Yes, I could continue with the story in its present form, but it would be so much better to move on.\u00a0\u00a0However, that doesn’t mean I’m abandoning Mike and his world.\u00a0 What I aim to do next is to develop something a little more substantial.\u00a0 Because those plans are still at the very early stages, I don’t want to say too much about them, but I will talk about it more when the time is right.<\/p>\n I hope you have enjoyed reading Story to Nowhere and will enjoy whatever comes next.<\/p>\n Thanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In spite of the title, Story to Nowhere has arrived at a place where I feel it’s best to stop.
