So, I've resumed working on two Sci Fi stories right now that have been in the oven for three plus years. I've been preoccupied with other activities that are both thankless at times and hard work, and now I feel worn out and bitter.

I've returned to writing full time, and want these tales to be wonderful. In College when I was taking creative writing there were lots of admonishments to describe, describe, describe. And I can only think of a few authors here who do a passable job of that, though many of the stories are entertaining, and fun.

Everyone has heard of 'thinking hat' or 'writing desk', but has anyone heard of 'writing song'? Basically it's the song that you hear to get yourself upbeat and in the mood to write something. Or it can also be a song that inspires you to do more than without. As for me, while I have plenty of imagination, I can't get in the mood to write if I don't have my writing songs on.

Thought I should pass this along

Due to what was likely a brain fart, I neglected to include chapter breaks in part of the story that I edited for Barbie. I have since corrected that error and I hope the story will be easier to read for everyone now. There are also a couple of spelling errors that snuck in under my radar. They were pointed out to me by a kind reader, but I have left them alone. They are very minor and do not really affect the telling of the story at all.

Looking for a story didn't mark as a favorite after reading it. In the story there is a kingdom where on the birth of the prince he is given blessings by the daughters and is cursed by their mother after she wasn't invited too attend his celebration of birth birth birth. Her curse is such that he can't see any women until the are married and he must be married by a certain age yet he isn't able to see any female but a boy dressed up as one of the girls at a morning prayer he sees and falls for.

In my daily foray into the 'interwebs' I ran across a rather helpful blog post listing 22 apps for writers which I thought I'd share here for those interested. I only personally use two of those mentioned, Scrivener and Evernote, but the others definitely seem to be worth a look.

22 Apps and Tools Every Writer Should Know About

There's a story over at Nifty that has for years been one of my favorites, maybe because it was one of the first TG stories i ever read. It's epic in length totaling at 3,421 KB, a monster story far as size goes. I go back about once every 2 years or so and spend about 3-4 days re-reading it. But for all these years...I've been trying to contact the author so that i can get permission to re-write/edit and repost the tale. I've of course e-mailed him, no dice... and i've tried tracking him down to no avail.

I am in the process of reading Katie Leone's Unreachable for the second time.
I have to say that this is, without doubt, her absolute best work.

Hey all, I'm still working on System, but I've found myself distracted lately. I've also been working on my "real life" story, but wound up scrapping most of it and starting over. After working on these stories (and other scrapped stories) alone, I've realized that I could really use some editing and creativity help (especially for the real life story). If you're interested, please message me

I know that for many of us paper books represent the past, too much expense, too little room to keep them and subject to too many elemental disturbances.

No good deed goes unpunished as they say.

So, I put up chapter #98 and almost immediately decide that I have made a mistake. Unfortunately, I had a trip to the US to organize, and my readers have already supplied many comments... enter the rewrite from chaos.

It has been brought to my attention that Pope Francis is considering appointing the Irish theological scholar Linda Hogan as the first woman cardinal of the Catholic church. I wonder if he got the idea from the story I posted here many years ago.

Just a brief note to let everyone know that my 20th release is now available on Amazon. It is a shorter piece but gives great insight to what a person goes through when they're about to come out to their parents.

Sorry, got home late from work then had over an hour on the phone with my needy friend just as I started writing. Too tired now, hope things will be better tomorrow but it looks like a heavy week. In fact, life looks heavy at the moment and still worried about my daughter who is not well.

Hmmm i must of missed a memo or something some of my old seaches i saved to favorites for certain story types come up with Access denied dont have permission to view that page ? has search function been totaly removed ? as i dont see the search box on main page anymore either wich made it lot easier to find the newer stories of fan fic's like whately or bikini beach just to name a few when they go more then a day or so between stories and some reason miss checking the one day they did post lol . maybe im just spoiled or rambling lol

Gaby Book 6 - Girls, Girls, Girl? should be available for your Kindle by tomorrow! If you are interested like which I know most of you aren't but for those that are I've uploaded it this afternoon - so there!

I have just finished my latest story and it will be my last. Right now it is on the way to the editor and I have to wait for a cover to be made. Like usual, I will publish on Kindle, etc. and then post the story here. Then I will take my leave and try to find other pursuits to occupy my time.

Just thought I'd give people a quick update about what has been happening with me and writing lately. To be honest, I'm not sure what's happening to the DRU. I've tried to get my last two stories flowing but I just can't seem to get either of them moving. I'm not going to quit though, I'm just going to try brainstorming my way around the problems.

In the meantime, I've come up with something else I want to dabble with for a bit. Its not DRU or any other universe, its a stand-alone that was inspired by a manga I've been reading recently. So I hope everyone likes it :)
