Streaming Feature – David Payne

A fantastic fun author jumping into the wonderful world of streaming, writing, submitting and more!

David has always considered himself a writer, and writing has always been a passion of his, even though for many years, it wasn’t his priority. Renewed in 2021 with “Writing Purpose”, he is embarking on writing while streaming and getting his work out there. Come join him in the writing adventure!

What do you stream? (or write in what genre)

I write whatever strikes my fancy, though I tend to default to Fantasy/SciFi/Other Speculative Fiction. Contemporary Fiction, Memoir, and others have been known to pop up too.

How long have you been streaming?

Since Dec 2021

How do you keep your viewers engaged?

Hopefully by chatting with them about their writing, goals, things that come up. We have sprints in my channel too, but let’s be serious, I tend to talk through them…

What is your favorite thing about streaming?

I quite enjoy the accountability of streaming my writing. Aside from that, I love sharing the writing process, working out writing challenges with others, and sharing in others’ successes.

How long have you been creating?

Well since I was ~10, but let’s just say last year because this is the first year I’ve felt like I am making progress.

Where can people find you?

Stories on Fire Weekly Themes

Starting in Sept. 2023 – Stories on Fire will be themed by week.

What does this mean? It means we’ll be organizing every prompt by the theme of the week.

For example, the twitch chat selected Animal Instigators as a theme. For one week during the challenge, every prompt will be designed to feature an animal getting either themselves or another character into trouble.

As with all prompts, you are free to ignore it if it does not fit into your writing style or it inhibits your goal of creating a short story every day.

Watch for more fun things on the horizon!

  • Animal Instigators
  • Natural Disasters
  • Messages from a far
  • Unexpected Happiness
