I was rummaging through Fictionmania, and came across a couple of authors that I've read before, then let lie fallow, then picked up again - still wondering. Plus others :)

TGStories.com and publishing rights

Some time ago, when the editor of TGStories.com asked for submissions in fairly vague terms, I asked for submission guidelines and got no reply. Recently, I submitted a new story blindly, not knowing anything about the format or subgenres they prefer, and inquired about what publication rights they buy.

More Bike?

We're approaching 2100 episodes of Bike and I thought I'd better ask the readers if they want me to continue. Bonz and Whizz have indicated they have no difficulties in continuing providing I give them a rise in the number of munchies they get to eat
- blackmailing little monsters.

Judging by the response to the recent birthday episode, I suspect this question is possibly rhetorical, but I feel I should ask it every now and again, just to make sure, and assuming that the management are also happy to continue finding space for my daily ramblings.

So...

What am I doing?

I was wondering if a few people would help me figure out something that I am racking my brain over. I am wondering what exactly am I doing as an author. I know I don't post stories quite as often as others, but I do have quite an extensive library going on here and am in the middle of yet another major novel. I know a lot of people don't like definitions placed on them, but I am a different bird and sometimes like to know where I stand in the scheme of things. Here is what I got please add or subtract as you see fit.

Have you ever found an unfinished piece of writing--one you did weeks, months or even years before--and said to yourself, "Did I write this? I didn't know I could write this well!" That happened to me recently, when I came across an old story excerpt that seemed too good to have come from me.

I think it's worth reminding people that there are some cracking stories on this site in the archives, both stand alones and serials. So do feel free to browse, but remember to give the authors a Kudo or a comment or both.

This past week, there was a message Rachel not being heard from in a While. I had actually asked Sephrena about her because I had heard nothing in some time and noticed she had not commented on stuff since January.

Well, I send a message to Rachel and got a response and she is still here. Now to hear back from Trapper

Well I Boo Booed and posted chapter 53 of Half Term break instead of chapter 11. Over the next few weeks the other chapters will appear. Like others I will miss Stanley Morten and hope his editorial team have a few more stories to publish and that one of them will complete the task for him. Stanley eight years ago urged me to publish my Gaby fan fiction on this site. In one of them I had Stanley dying and being sent down the telephone line to live with Gaby. He thought it was funny. Well his spirit still lives on in the internet.

Sorry, I'm entertaining a visitor and we went out for a long walk this evening - it was delightful, but by the time we got back I was late starting Bike and keep falling asleep as I try and write it. So rather than have you read a load of gobbledygook, I'll finish it tomorrow and post it.

Sorry,

Angharad & Bonzi.

News re: Ultimate Empathy Therapy

Hi. **Sigh** here. I'm currently posting my story "UET" on a Monday/Thursday schedule. Then, all yesterday afternoon, I had the hugest gut feeling.

I took some Tums and it got better.

New book idea and a Typhoon

Author: 

Well, I am sitting in a hotel in Linkou, Taiwan, staring down the barrel of a Cat 3 Typhoon. So, I thought writing would be something to do, instead of watching the windows flex a lot more than I thought glass was capable of. I have a new book on the story board, and I would like to share the concept of it see if I could get some feedback on the interest. It will be a bit different than anything else I have done, but probably not that much so. Anyway, below is the introduction. I hope it is not too big for a blog. Would like some thoughts on the concept. Thanks.

For those who don't post there's a general rule about how much you can post and how much is on the quickfinds list. Here's my thing and that sometimes that list goes fast with a lots of new stuff coming in and sometimes not. *Note not bitching.*

What I want an opinion on is how long do I leave something in place before putting something up? I mean if it's not getting the comments in that early posted stuff rush and just getting normal comment traffic.

Anybody?

Well it looks like the DRU might be winding down sadly, I blame myself. I haven't been giving it the attention and the care that I have been in the past. Stories will still be written for it of course, there are stories being written for it now in fact but sadly its just not as popular as it was before. I promise to try my hardest to finish the last two I've been working on. I know the others will try to finish theirs as well :)

I was wondering if other author's did the same thing as I do or if I am totally nuts. See, when I am in the middle of writing a work, I make it a habit not to read anybody. I don't mean just reading things on line, I won't even read a newspaper article (even if I really wanted to).

Since I have several main characters in my novel "Horizons of the Heart", it might be a good idea to present them to you outside their work-environment.

I had an interesting question and I think it might help other authors who also publish on Kindle (I'm hard at work at a brand new novel which is why I haven't posted anything here for a while and after 100k words decided things will work better if I made it first person so it's going to be a while since I haven't even finished the plot yet).

It's too bad that the 4th of July's just a regular workday around here, except at my office, of course - only essential people or on-duty call agents were required to report for work.

Unfortunately, per the office's operations guide, my position is considered "essential," hence I had to work today... darn...

But, nevertheless, A hearty Happy 4th of July to everyone! Enjoy the day, and keep safe!

And a special shoutout to our brave fighting men and women! This is your day as much as it is anyone's.

In a recent blog you mentioned re-reading an older story. That reminded me of what a marvelous repository of excellent fiction we have here at Big Closet. Erin and the other Admins. are to be thanked for what they have provided here.

I often read stories that are many years on the site. But, you know, they're all new when you read them for the first time. I like to thank the author by signing in and giving a Kudos for each chapter: It takes little time and effort and gives them a thank you for their work.
