well, I've put up chapter 2 of "Mirror mirror."

Sorry its so short ...

First and foremost, I want to thank the community for supporting all the authors who’s ventured into the published ebook field, even myself!

First of all, I'm sorry but the chapters of Winter's Child and Twice Removed that I was hoping to have done today will be a bit delayed since my weekend was a bit crazy. First on Saturday I had to do some gardening and Martin's three year old niece wanted me to play with her pretty much all day long, so I was too tired to do much when we got home late. Then yesterday I had a bit of a breakdown. Ever since I moved to Quebec I've had nothing but problems with finding any sort of work, getting financial assistance, getting consistent medical coverage, a doctor and my prescriptions.

I want to publicly send a HUGE Thank You to the artist of the cover of the Kindle book " The Dragon Staff of the Master Druid ", Erica Caddei .

Every 18 months to 2 years, I post how I can't write, with the hope that my muse will get her dander up and show me. Here is another of those attempts. And no, my knowing that she knows might still work. Reverse psychology, if you will.

Hi all,

One of the no-no's I do is mixing point of views. I'll have the main character speaking in the first while other viewpoints are presented at the end of the chapter. No one has really complained about this and I think as long as I keep those other POV as counterpoints to the main character it works for me.

That is until this latest tale of mine. My main character has been Shanghaied by a rogue AI Time-ship. I ended up with this back and forth thing going between the two with an occasional peek into the larger universe to remind my readers that lots more is actually going on.

It’s been slightly over a year since I started selling ebooks via the Amazon Kindle store and Smashwords. I thought I should share some information about the results with other writers.

This is an interesting piece. Don't get sucked in.

I worked a 12 hour day went to check my emails and found one from the TdF organisers about my training in a couple of weeks time. I clicked on the link and it reverted to one that was sent in March or February. I tried to write to them about it and my email provider logged me out, which it's been doing for sometime--one evening it logged me out ten times in as many minutes. I suspect as soon as the UK stages of the TdF are completed I'll be changing my ISP I've had enough. Anyone contemplating using Talktalk - don't, they are complete and utter crap.

Every comment is appreciated. Believe me, every single one. If a person leaves a comment about the story it means it touched them deeply enough they became "emotionally" involved enough to say something.

Someone didn't like the way it was written. They had an opinion. Someone claims it is headed in the wrong direction. Someone likes it.

For more years than I'm going to tell, I've been writing. And I honestly love the comments that tells me my story was Road Kill because it was DOA. They got emotionally involved.

A couple of questions really, about where I should go from here.

To those who do not like to read blogs or posts about crass fiscal concerns, A warning: this post is full of them, please don't read if you are offended by such.

Cathy has a life and it isn't holding my hand editing my stories. She does it anyway. Hand holding that is. One would not believe nor understand the herculean task that goes into editing unless they have done it themselves.

She makes suggestions to clarify the story to the readers.

I don't understand? "Cathy Honey, the story is clear as a bell. I know exactly what I meant. Can't they read?"

It's termite swarm season here in Florida and guess whose house has got them. MINE. For some reason there was a roll of Toilet paper on the entertainment center and when I went to move it I noticed all these wings just laying around. Weird, I thought, the pixie's decided to hoof it. I went to move the toilet paper back to the toilet paper room (a.k.a. bathroom, a.k.a. danger zone). To my surprise, thousands (maybe less) of termites were crawling in and around the TP roll. So I threw the roll out and hopefully all the termites.

I have added in the link to Penny's latest episode in the Indexy thingamajig.

Enjoy.

This lovely little attack on me at the FM Hyperboard.

*****

That's part of why I stopped posting free stories 3 years ago.

For me, this is exactly why posts on the Hyperboard to paid stories are not welcome, you have professed that you are no longer contributing to the community, but want us to follow your links and pay for your work.

I have posted a revised and greatly expanded the story of The Transformation of Lady James on top of the old one. If anyone wants to see and tell me if it is better I would like it very much

I will post part 4 of my tale in a couple of days when I get to Durango. At the moment I'm about to watch the sun go down from inside Monument Valley. Yeah, it costs and arm and a leg to stay inside the park but it will probably be a long time before I come back this way.
Drove down through Bryce Canyon today. A lot quieter than yesterday (Sunday) but it was 06:00. Saw the sun rise and left around 06:45. Drove south on 'Cottonwood Valley Road'. This is dirt for most of its 48 miles. Would not want to get stuck out there..... Didn't see one other vehicle in the whole trip.

I don't see it as a problem. Most of what I read here are multiple part posts. I cant expect the writer to know ahead of time just how many words it will be.

It's posts like this to me at the Fictionmania Hyperboard that made me stop posting stories for free. People who can't thank an author but they sure can complain. Here they are complaining because I promoted my story? Bet $10 he or she didn't even read it.

From Wikipedia;

You can buy it through Erin's Big Closet Amazon store. Here's a link.

Hello all,

I was wondering what would be the general consensus if I redid Maiden of Magic, as I kind of remastering. Any thoughts?

I want success in my life. I really, truly, honestly do. And yet, for some reason I find myself continuously sabotaging the opportunities given to me to obtain it.
