Authors / Stories / Books / Writing

Two random thoughts

Two random thoughts came to mind as I was responding to a PM I received, One was about how many lovely readers have told me they have purchased my novel, The Enhanced: TRI from Amazon (hopefully through the Amazon link on Big Closet's main page) that I may actually make a little money from my (pseudo) Publisher this August. Then it struck me... I should give back to the wonderful site that hosts my fiction and attempts at poetry. So, I will donate whatever payment I get from my Publisher in August to BCTS. It may not be huge coin, but it will be something :)

a fantastic story worth reading

There are some amazing stories on this site. We are blessed with so many good authors, who give us their stories for free, when they are as good or better than anything in any bookstore.

I almost hate to list some of my favorite authors, simply because I'm afraid I'll forget somebody who deserves the mention, and they'll feel bad for being left out.

That said, I wanted to say something about a story I just re-read.

Except I don't think I can do it justice, so all I can say is if you've never read it, you should, and if you have, you should read it again.

Julie O Update

I got an email from Julie; she is fine and plans to return to writing soon. I'm sure there are some out there who are thinking, "Told you so," right now. Well, maybe I did get worked up over nothing, but I'll take that over the alternative any day.

SEE Delay

Regrettably, there will be an indefinite delay before I can post any more of Somewhere Else Entirely.

I know we're nearing the end but Real Life just won't be denied any longer. The Twins are coming and I'm utterly, utterly exhausted. And they haven't even arrived yet!

LightOfFury's stories

What happened?! I can't read any stories about characters being transformed in Mai Shiranui or someone as big into SNK fighters. And her other stories were great.

Are you still here Light?! Please come back.

Also, now I'm thinking I may make backup's of stories for my eyes only, should they be pulled. I love all of these authors way too much to just see them gone from my eyes though if you wish to pull them from the site so be it.

I'm still fuming about that "Beyond the Sea" fan fiction getting pulled so quickly from MORFS though.

Editing our Writing

Getting a story out onto paper (or into a computer) is easy at times, and more difficult at other times. Regardless of ones efforts, editing must be done before it is shared with the world.

I have been working on a book (a memoir) for four years now. I think I am done, but I now need to do some editing. Not my best skill with my own writing. It also takes a lot on a 101,000 word book.

Passive Verb Tense: This is one of my biggest issues. I have had this problem for years. There are places that you want it, but I have found I use it way too much.

Honey Bunny is now complete!

For those readers who wish to make sure that a story will be finished before they begin reading, I have just posted the last chapter of Honey Bunny.

This has been the best received of all my stories to date and so I hope you will at least give it a try!

I just posted one of my favorite chapters that I wrote.

Hello.

First, I am not asking for kudos, nor reviews.

But, over the literal thousands of pages I had posted on this website. This chapter of Badasses Of the Multiverse. Book 5: Volume 1: Chapter 18: “Sealed Can Of Savvy Awesome.", is one of my favorite chapters.

The reason that this is one of my favorite chapters, is that I found this part of my story arc to very funny to write. I laughed quite a few time, while I wrote it. And I hope, that if you give my story a chance, you will find it funny to read.

Thank you,

Paul Cousins

Congratulations

Doppler Press would be remiss if we didn't send a heart felt congratulations out to one of our authors, Katie Leone, on her current success.

Currently UNREACHABLE is a best selling book in three genres and is ranked number 20th overall in Juvenile Fiction (#622 out of all ebooks on Amazon). No small feat.

Katie is also ranked as the number 97th young adult author on Amazon.

Kudos to Katie. Good job in joining the list of successful authors from Big Closet.

Self care stop.

Well it's that time of year again. I'm working too many hours still and still doing parental care plus now the humidity and the heat's getting rough levels here and to top everything off my lying and theiving drug addict brother's hitting the point where the hard cheap drugs are meeting his age and he’s even more of a mess, a mess that other family who are just as bad as him now want to dump back into my life.

So like the last brotherly drama writing will likely be nil for awhile.

I will be using both hands just to hang on, so typing will be slow.

Price Lower on Rebekkah's newest eBook.... and more.

Just two quick notes!

When I announced the publication of Rebekkah's newest book in her 8 Dragon Saga ( number 4 ), I forgot to mention that the price of $2.99 is only temporary! In under a week the price will go to our usual level of $3.99, go grab it at the lower price!

Also Rebekkah has told me that she is writing the remaining book and a half to finish of the series! We already have books 1-6 and half of 7 in a 9 book series, so , just a book and a half to go! ! I'm sure we can take Rebekkah's promise that she will be finish the Saga !

Just to keep everyone in the loop

The expected change to my working pattern kicks in this week - back to office hours Monday to Friday for the first time since 2004! This means that starting from next week, updates will be on Sundays not Wednesday. The new fast connection is in and running - thank you Virgin so with any luck a lot of my recent connection issues are now sorted.

Adding stories on Kindle

Just a quick few lines to ask those who have uploaded stuff to Amazon for Kindle how they got the TG or LGBT.

I have tried, but sadly I appear to have been unsuccessful in finding it in the categories. Amazon are a little tight on categories and tags, so if anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks peeps,

Cynthia and the Queen of the Knight - Twisty Little Passages, All Alike

Having had great success with my retelling of Tristan und Isolde, I decided to try once again with the retelling of a not so ancient tale. The story premièred on September 30, 1790 in Vienna, Austria under the title Die Zauberflöte. The story follows two young couples who have to go through several trials before they can reach their goal. Since the original tale involved magic, I didn't have any trouble inserting it into my version of the Spells R Us universe. Those familiar with the story should have no trouble recognizing the characters in their modern garb.

Incredibly amazing news!

For several years I have been limping along with a desktop computer that is now 13 years old. That will soon no longer be true. Thanks to the incredible generosity of a fan of my writing, a two year old laptop is on its way to me! I am simply blown away by this act of kindness. It's the kind of thing that makes you realize that, even with all the bad out there, the human race isn't a lost cause. We have a truly amazing family here, and I'm going to try my best, each and every day, to be worthy of it.

Hugs and love to all!

Comments

I've watched this site almost from its beginning, and later joined at the encouragement of Sephrina. In those early days, I think there might have been less than 100 members here.

There was a warm camaraderie then and most stories, no matter how amateurish got at least a few votes and comments. The authors seemed to care about each other. New, unpolished authors got encouragement and help to improve, and I am grateful for the help that I got despite my limited talent.

It's been a while...

It's been a while, but I have just posted a story. Journey to Eden isn't new, it was posted on Stardust eight years ago as part of a contest, but I never got around to putting it here. That omission has been rectified, and hopefully there are some out there who haven't read it.

Enjoy!

My dear Big Closet family

It is my happy duty to inform you that the author known as Scott Ramsey is no more. He has been replaced, by me!

As I've been telling everyone who will listen tonight, this online community is the only place I will ever be me, so it's just plain silly to not have MY name on my stories. I hope you all are as happy for me as I am. I feel ... reborn. Maybe it's silly, but hey, I'll take it!

A plea to all for JulieO

I have just exchanged emails with my friend, Itinerant, and we are both very concerned. As many of you are probably aware, it has been over a year since Julie O last posted a story. I can't claim that Julie and I are friends, but we did share an editor in AmeliaR, we have exchanged numerous emails, and she graciously gave me permission to set a story within the Julieverse. She has always responded to my emails promptly in the past, but that hasn't been the case for almost a year. Itinerant informed me that their last contact was May of last year, when Julie sent a new story for editing.

Looking for a story

I usually remember stories pretty well but this one has something to do with a special forces type who rescues a girl from druggies somewhere in central or south america. He kills one (the leader?) on an old stone altar of some kind and the sacrifice/blood awakens a god who changes him....

Rewriting away

to the my readers

I was almost done with chapter 17 of my story When tales come true but I was hit with a double whammy. Life and a massive rewrite will delay the chapter for a week or more. I am not sure what this means for the story. I will post when I can.

Hugs to all

weirdness

Okay so this week things have got pretty weird. Let me try to explain. Last week the bosses at work decided to move the contents of our 2 adjacent stores around - in a major reorganisation which effectively moved me from the store i've worked in for over a decade to the other premises. Well after stuff has settled at least.
Then yesterday afternoon the boss asked to see me and offered me a new job. They must have been reading my mind, it's Monday to Friday no stupid late shifts and a move from sales to stock control.
