I'm going slightly mad.

So I sent in a story to amazon...4 weeks ago. No response yet other than the automated response letting me know they got the submission. I know supposedly they have 2 more weeks or so to go before I'm supposed to worry, but I can't help myself.

To add to this, a fan recently edited RiH 10. The editing job was very well done, very professional and I in no way mean to imply that I don't appreciate it. However the editing did make
clear the astonishing number of grammatical flaws inherent within my writing style... flaws I'm positive the story I submitted a month ago shares.

Christmas Fairy Queen

I read a story by Robyn Hoode over on TG Storytime called "Christmas Fairy Queen" which she claims to be not sufficiently good to be posted here. She's wrong and needs to be shown the error of her ways. This is definitely a BC level story. Let's raise a little bit of Cain here ladies,

Almost completed new short story

I have "sort of" completed a new story and universe. The working title is "Here Be Dragons", I am unsure if I should give it a few days or post "as is" so to speak and make any changes based on your suggestions.

Happy New Year,

Sarah's place takes a battering

This is a video of what the weather has done to Aberystwyth, home of Sarah's university in 'Cold Feet' and 'Sisters'. At the end of the video, you get a look at the hill they go up in the panoramic railway.

Writing resolutions

I don't necessarily do New Year resolutions every year, but I found myself looking over my records of my writing in 2013, and thinking about how I could improve, and found myself making a whole passel of writing-related resolutions, some vaguer and more tentative than others.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to everyone at the Big Closet: The readers. without whom one of us would be here. The authors, who give us so much of themselves and their imaginations. And to Erin and the staff, who make this place great. May the new year bring you all health and happiness.

For my readers, I am half finished a new chapter of Alex in Wonderland and 21000 words into Syryn's Song the new Hyperverse story I mentioned in my last blog on Christmas Eve. It's a bit longer than I was expecting so I'll probably have to break it into several stories of which Syryn's Song will be book #1.

I know many here are looking for their favorite serial. Others are looking for a stand alone story.

Well here's your chance to read something different.

I'm Back

I'm done being stuck in my rut and back to writing. I have decided to put the DRU on the back burner though....well soon as I finish up I Bump Back and Are You a Good Witch that is. Misty's story comes first, I posted the fourth chapter of it today. I'll move onto Kelly from there. After that I have a few Non-DRU ideas I've been actively brainstorming and working on.

So I hope everyone bears with me for now :)

Has anyone heard from Lilith Langtree lately?

I've been going through some of my older unfinished stories and reading them lately. I came across one from Lilith Langtree called 'The Soul Does Not Perish', it's a well written modern day D&D type story. There were 9 chapters of it posted by Lilith and then nothing. I've not seen anything posted by her in a while and was wondering if anyone knew if she was still writing??

Nina Kiriki Hoffman's "A Red Heart of Memories" and sequels

Nina Kiriki Hoffman’s sequence of novels A Red Heart of Memories (1999), Past the Size of Dreaming (2001), and A Stir of Bones (2003) may be of interest to this site’s readers for one major transgendered character, who is onstage in Past the Size of Dreaming and A Stir of Bones and appears in flashbacks in in A Red Heart of Memories. Several other characters are more or less atypical in their gender identity and presentation. Hoffman has also written a number of short stories about the characters from these books, some but not all of which are in her short story collection Permeable Borders.

My idea cupboard is getting bare

Well, after being one of the most prolific writers on here for the last four and a half years, I am facing the real possibility that my ideas cupboard is growing close to bare. Maybe all my brainpower is wrapped in my autobiography, but its possible that outside of a few crumbs that I might be able to bring to life, my days as a writer are numbered ...

If that occurs, I want my friends to know I will continue to contribute in other ways. I will comment and encourage other authors, and I will keep my blog going with whatever is happening in my life.

Sorry, can't do Bike tonight.

I have a visitor staying and sometimes real life and real people have to take precedence over my imaginary ones. We're going to Bath tomorrow, the city not the ablution, assuming the trains are running.

Normal service will, I hope, be returned tomorrow.

Yay! First Review!

I got my first review for my book up at Kindle, 'Heroes of Justice.' It was mostly positive with the reviewer giving me four stars. Apparently despite all the people who have looked it over, mistakes have still persisted. That's annoying since I think at times I can recite the whole book given how many times I've gone over it.

On a humorous note, the review claims to have bought it accidentally because of Amazon's 'One-Click' Button.

However, one review is better than no review!

I am posting something today

Well, I am still around. I am now working the pets department as a stocker, so when I go home, I am beat and I wanted to put this out a few days ago, but I was so tired. Now that Christmas will be over in a few hours, I have decided to get some things out. The first will be a check up on Lisa from my story Of Snow, little girls and Angels.

I am working on Tracy stuff and I know, people were not into the Halloween stuff, but I will show how things got that bad.

Tempted to put out a Tracy Christmas thing, but it may not be done until tomorrow or the next day.

Happy holidays to all

Hi everyone, I just wanted to take a moment to say Happy holidays to all of you, whichever holidays you choose to celebrate. I'm a witch so I celebrate Yule on the winters solstice personally, though Martin is having me celebrate Christmas with his/her family this year as well. In fact we need to leave soon for a Christmas Eve gathering. I do have a little present in the works for all my wonderful readers.

The End of the World: The Last Christmas

Hello everyone and Happy Holidays with a Merry Christmas to all who wants one! For the first time since I've been here at BCTS I'm not entering the Christmas Contest. Too much real life and I had other stories that my muse demanded I work on. Unfortunately none of those had three wise-men in them.

The kinda Sorta Christmas story I just put up, does have three aliens bearing gifts, but that was more an after thought and doesn't really qualify, to me at least.

Hey, there...

       
I've been trying to think of a way to say it, in a unique and

memorable sort of way, but I just can't think of any,

despite the fact that I've been wracking my brain

for a while now.

So I guess I'll just stick to something traditional:

Merry Christmas!

Finishing up stories

In the next few days, like I have already done for Alexandra's Story is to put a summary of where I see the story going. In time, and if the inspiration returns to finish them then I will expand it. I want the readers to feel a sense of the ending.
