Finally, I have sent Invisible off to my editor. I can't begin to tell you how happy I am to have finally scratched out this story to my satisfaction.

What started out as Serious Camouflage and morphed to Camouflage, then got pulled and rethunk until I knew what story I wanted to tell. I've had many wonderful souls looking over the manuscripts and propping me up with excellent constructive criticism. When it comes back from Tom, I will start publishing chapters here.

I'm excited to finally share something here with the people I love and admire.

I'm working on a new book and would like to find a few people who would like to read some pages and give me constructive criticism on how to make this more reader-friendly.

Thanks,

Leslie

Good Afternoon dear friends,

I stopped working on my story, Camouflage, back in November. I have no excuse to offer. Things weren't working out for me and I realized I needed to stop. I don't like leaving things unfinished. I'm working again.

I've amended the story to make it flow better. My plan is to share that effort soon.

Long ago, back in July, I started uploading a new story, Vacation, to bigclosetR.us. After lots of fine constructive criticism from the readers, I finished a 13,000-word novella for you.

I enjoyed working with the fine readers here at bigcloset.us and was determined to complete a novel based on the story. I dug myself in and created a 46,000-word story that we called Lowell's Vacation. (Our editor, Tom Peashey, suggested that Vacation was too overused as a title)

I can happily say that it's now for sale on Amazon for your reading pleasure. Thanks, Leslie

Remember Vacation, a little novella that I posted at Big Closet a few months back?

Well, thanks to your support and suggestions, I went back and wrote more. It's done.

My wonderful editor, Tom Peashey, suggested that Vacation is too common a title, so it became Lowell's Vacation.

I really enjoyed coming back and visiting all the intelligent, tasteful readers here at BigCloset. The last book I finished up, Taylor, was donated to this site so the proceeds could help out keeping it afloat.

Testing out a story idea like Vacation proved rewarding for me, getting lots of great ideas for maybe retooling it into a novel. I liked my characters and they started talking to me..

But, the curious thing was how many people wanted me turn Portrait into a book.

Honestly, I messed up.

I uploaded Chapter Four and the more I looked at it realized that it was not finished. So, I took some time today to upload more to make it better

I'm sorry for the people that read it this morning and missed the second half.

Oh, well.

I could have added a "Chapter Five" but it just seemed more important to finish Chapter Four.

I'll get it all smoothed out eventually.

I want to acknowledge the sweet people from BigCloset who create such a dynamic mechanism for posting a story. My latest effort, Vacation, is a work in progress. I eagerly read and responded to all the comments.

But, what was especially helpful were the folks who offered constructive criticism. And because the design here lets me edit my work, I was able to redo entire passages to reflect what I learned from readers. Chapter Three is the best example of rewriting to clarify what I should have said initially.

 
Happy Labor Day, Zoombies!

Hi gang!

We lost our beloved black lab and are taking a few days off to collect our scattered wits. The story will resume next Monday. L

I want to thank all the readers for taking the time to read the first two parts of my novella, Taylor, and offering wonderful constructive criticism on how to make it better.**

When it's finished here, I will start again and make it a complete novel before I present it to Erin and the wonderful folks at Big Closet to publish and receive all the receipts. It's my way of saying thank you to Big Closet for everything they do to promote authors.

Hi, All.

I haven't blogged in a while. I've been spending my time writing.

I've got a new novel ready to publish on Amazon in January called Collected. It's a sci-fi story.

I've been working on retelling the Wildcats, starting with book one and ending with book six. Book five and book six are new. I just finished my first draft and it's 360,000 words. I've rewritten the story trying to smooth out the entire epic. It will be published in 2020.

Happy Holidays,

LM

I’m working on NeverWorld, a sci-fi future story and I’m trying to design an Artificial Intelligence that would narrate part of my story and be the one who runs NeverWorld, an alternative interactive world.

I've written down some questions and hoping to start a discussion here, if anyone has the time. Here are my thoughts.

Finally, as they pried the last manuscript from my stiff, swollen fingers, I cried out! "Please let me look through it one more time, I know I can make it better!"

But, to my chagrin, they took it away and posted it on Amazon

Here's a link. Order it here and BigCloset gets a few pennies. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07LDW3G8D/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=...

I’d like to chat with a few folks who have a sense/knowledge/expertise in creating gaming environments. I’m not creating one, just writing a story.

I need help with the technical stuff, terms, jargon, etc for a new SciFi story I’m working on called NeverWorld.

I’m also looking for someone who can help me with the Japanese anime, manga, hentai world, too.

Here's a very interesting article that I wanted to share

"Trans Candidates Are Poised to Make History in 2018 Elections

Across the nation, transgender candidates in the 2018 races are breaking barriers as they run for higher office...."

I entered the staycation contest and wanted to know how to change my entry to read SOLO. If you would tell me how for the next time and fix it too.

thanks

Thank you to all the readers and future readers who are peeking in on Metamorphosis - A Jessica Jade Story. I appreciate all the comments and messages you are sending me as I post two chapters a week.

I appreciate Erin making BigCloset a writer's showcase to present new works. It's giving me an opportunity to hear great feedback and wonderful constructive criticism from many talented writers and fans.
