A word of warning

Just to warn you all, my laptop is at it again. Slow running and constant crashes are making it hard to finish chapters of the stories I'm working on and the the story I was working on for the February contest. So Twice Removed may be delayed and worst case scenario I may drop out of site if it dies again. This hard drive was a used one and I never expected the fix to last this long with all the other hardware issues I was having.

So if I drop out of sight you all know why, but I will keep plugging away for as long as I can manage.

*hugs to you all*

Question concerning stories.

Due to the sites unfortunate crash along with several days of hard work performed by those creative people to resurrected and breath new life back into its unfortunate demise the question I have is how story posting is being affected.

Case in point is the number of stories that are being posted. This leads me to ask about those that are being pushed further down the pipe than they normally would be. There were several that I'm sure were reposted due to the time differences from A to B.

I don't know where my stories come from. I really don't. I just sit back and all of a sudden something will hit me. Usually I'm glad it's not a fist or a brick, but it's really passive. Now, I've been writing stories since I was 8 years old. I remember in the 4th grade I would be allowed to stand in front of class and read my creations and I thought that was a hoot. Back then I really wanted to do an alien abduction, but never did (Actually I did but I can't find it).

Just to say a big thanks to those who voted for my story - Three men and a Christmas Spirit in the Christmas competition. I was so pleased to get fourth place, as the other sories were so good.

Thanks also to those who asked me if there was more... as the end seemed a bit abrupt.

The answer is, yes!

I have written another 11,000 words, and extended the book, giving it a new Title - A TALE Of TWO T'S

I have put Season of the Witch up on Amazon as well so the story will no longer be appearing here. For The Fairest seemed to do pretty well so I'm hoping Season does the same for me :)

Writing smut

For the most part, I've avoided writing any graphic sexual content. It's not that I don't think that there is a place for it, just not in my writing. Mostly it's been because I write about kids and that's just icky and wrong. In the past if I wrote anything sexual it was to show the true horrors of sexual abuse and was never intended to be for arousal.

Another Story Done

Well, almost done. I’ve one more run to make on ‘The World Turned Upside Down,’ before I am ready to release the finished product on an unsuspecting world. It has been an endevor that has taken me over three and a hald years to complete. It is, however, a story I can say I am proud of and enjoyed writing.

I had contacted Authors and universe Creators about writing in there universe when I had the down time at work. I had High Hopes and lots of Solid Ideas, but when I put my self down to write my muse refused to cooperate every time. For those of you that your muse will feed you ideas and help you write stories I have to tip my hat to you. My muse no matter how much I tried to cares it cox it and reason with it would give up ideas but would never help me compose those ideas into stories that people could read. I miss my High School days when it did but now it does not.

And there was rejoicing!

It's been about a month and my book, "Heroes of Justice" available on Amazon Kindle has reached my estimate in sales. About 25 have been sold. Of course I hoped for more, but that was my realistic expectation.

I'm trying to get my next Kindle project, 'Once the Hero' cleaned up to be posted now, but if you have purchased a copy of HOJ please leave a review! Each one helps seperate my work from all the others in that popular genre.

Havens Salvation 2-3

I have just posted the next segment of Havens Salvation. I am hoping that this is an original story not based on any others work. It is hard to know for sure beings I have read so many stories both here and in other circles but a extensive check of my memory I can not find any thing like this elsewhere.
I am trying to bring the characters alive for my audience giving the people you read about warm flesh and blood reactions to there environment and to each other. You my audience will be the final judge of that.

Informal poll - which Op Rescue story was your favorite?

Taxonomy upgrade extras:

Author: 

I know the reaction to Op Rescue: In Plain Sight has been very significant (judging by comments and kudos). That makes me wonder if the audience as a whole considers this better than, on par with, or less than Op Rescue: New Co-Ed. The main reason I ask is that while New Co-Ed has a lot of hits, it has few kudos. That makes me wonder if it was as good as my latest effort, or worse. Or is it an artifact of posting a link to a PDF file (as opposed to a 450+ page story in the form!) so the kudo button wasn't accessible? Was it because New Co-Ed was too long for most people's tastes?

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,

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.

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 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.
