Removing a story

Does anyone know how to remove a story? I want to completely remove my Huntress story. I don't like it and I'm intending to completely rewrite it after I finish "In the Darkness is the Light"

It's going to be waaaay different and better because the original was just dismantling tg tropes in fiction and just... I hated it so much. I wanted to kill certain characters just because of all the crap that happened. I hated using those tropes but I just kept doing it, well now I'm fixing it.

No Legacy this week

So I am sad to say, there will be no Legacy of Earth this weekend. This week I came out to my manager and tomorrow afternoon I plan on coming out to my parents. I just don’t have the energy or desire to get any editing done.

I do apologize and hope you have a delightfuly devious weekend,

P.S. Please wish me luck, I am nervous as hell about telling my parents.

You Are a Meany Update and a little more

Chapter 27 will be done by sometime next week. Then it will be sent to my great editor and an even better friend. I usually don't like giving these updates about my stories. I am doing so because of that long delay I had. I wanted to let people know it is still being worked on.

The reason for this delay is a good one. I had a short story in my mind which demeaned my attention each time I went to write. So in a couple of days that story, Guilty Until Proven Innocent, will be up.

Do Writers do Art Too?

Being a total recluse only partly because of Covid 19, I just find things to do that are pleasing to me. I write a fair amount of the time but most of that will never be seen by others. Lately I've been thinking about Art. Not the style of famous people, but most likely Native American Navajo and Shawnee Art. I have some plasticized art paper and I don't even know which side gets the art. I started to use colored markers but the fumes from them almost put me in a Coffin. So, now I have some Acrylics and have no idea what to do with them, or what side of the paper they go on either.

Busy week

Hey everyone,

I've had a busy few days. Between that, not sleeping much again lately, my thumb still slowing things down, and a busy weekend ahead I just don't think that I'll be able to post chapters of either I Wish or MSPD this week. So I'm going to try to get a solid night or two of sleep and rest my thumb and brain between getting things done over the next few days.

*big hugs to you all*

"Predestination"

I just watched a movie named Predestination (on Netflix). I won't give too much away or I will be spoiling.

It is a time travel story but its interest to many of us is that one of the central characters is born and grows up female and then becomes male. The part is played by the same actress, who received an award for her performance and, in my opinion, deservedly so.

It may not be to everybody's taste but I found it intriguing.

My Patreon

I am not really sure how Patreon works.
I have had a Patreon site for almost two years and I post all of my new material on it every week, sometimes in a raw state, before it goes anywhere else. I thought that is was all about sharing my art and my creative process, but I am just not getting any engagement. I get some likes but very few usable comments and no real interaction.
I think that Erin is suggesting that it is because I am not known but I really have no idea how to promote it.
I would be interested in hearing from others who have a patreon platform.

Meh...

Whilst reading Chapter 7 of 'Emma and Sam' for posting, much to my horror I realized that I never finished it even though Chapter 8 was nearly done. Therefore I had to break it into two parts...something I hate doing. The second part of 7 is still being written. Meh... Andrea Lena has been of tremendous help in 'pulling me off the ceiling' during this process. Hopefully...by the good graces of the Gods and Goddesses, the second part will be read by this coming weekend.

I'm still here

Hello out there,

As you know I've been gone for a while. Chapter 6 of Walker's Path was pretty tough to write but Chapter 7 is even harder. It's not a whimsical or fun Chapter. It's difficult to write because it's emotional.

Because it's so emotional it takes a lot out of me. Pulling emotions out of my brain is pretty taxing. It makes me face feelings that I don't want to deal with.

Walker is following a similar path. Where he doesn't want to face the truth of what happened to him. He's lucky though because he's found a support system by accident.

Bad news

So last I had posted was before Dad came home for Hospice. Well, he passed away on January the 5th. Since then I have been dealing with the vultures in the family. I got my brother and his younger son both wanting to move in, but I can't afford to live here myself. I really can't afford to have them move in and not pay anything. My brother keeps insisting everything should be his, but dad did a living trust and gave me almost everything except his van, all because my brother only visited him once in the past 15 months.

Ashleigh Blayze, Legacy of the Anari

I just finished reading "Legacy of the Anari", again. Looking back on things written about this Author, it seems they have been adequately admired. It seems that they were moving South, but that is the latest entry I see about them. Apparently there was intention to write more but it seems that it did not get to BCTS. Sad that.

I wish them well.

How to Turn Just Fifty Words into Green Eggs and Ham

There’s been a lot of discussion in a different thread about the decision to pull several Dr. Seuss books from publication.

Much of the chatter seems to regard a book as “art” or “history of a certain time.”

I certainly agree. Books like “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” and “Huck Finn” are examples of books that are offensive by today’s standards -- that should never be lost to readers.

What that other discussion seemingly misses – and a point that should never be missed on this site – is that books are chattel.

State of the Iron Tiger

_Face desks._

Ok, it's been a long, long, long, long, long, long time and I'm sorry for that.

While I haven't managed to catch COVID, I've been busy with mental health, finances and other survival issues, including a two-week spate of homelessness last year (don't worry, it was the white version of homelessness not 'living off the street').

looking for a story again

I am looking for a story that I read a few years ago. I cant remember the name of the main charter but it had to do with a kid in school that was kidnapped by some jocks and transformed into a girl so that one of the jocks had a girl to take to the prom. I believe they were on the football team. They even made it so he could not talk with some kind of glue to his lips. I hope that is enough information to find this story. I also dont remember if i read it hear or on FM. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ummm...

I must extend a major league thank you to Drea. She's been keeping me on track with my current offering. Her guidance and encouragement are never ending...as usual. I would also like to thank those who chose to comment on my tale. I truly wish I had the time to answer your comments and to acknowledge their content. Unfortunately I do not have enough hours in my day to do so and I apologize for that. For lack of a better description...I'm am, amongst other things, a Rugby mom to three maniacs and their insane father!!!

It's out, it's out!

Hello out there,

Like the title says "Walker's Path Chapter 6 Fractured" is out!

I had a tough time writing this one. It felt like a really shitty time for Walker and I even teared up apologizing to him. His past is pretty tragic and when I wrote a certain sentence in the story it only solidified my thoughts.

I hope you all enjoy this one because it was a pretty big emotional ride for me.

No MSPD until tomorrow evening

Hey everyone,

Just a quick note to let you all know that I won't be able to post the new chapter or MSPD until tomorrow night. It's practically finished but Martin ended up working a double shift today and won't be home until after midnight. Since s/he also has to get up for work tomorrow at five that means we'll have no time to do the editing together until s/he gets home tomorrow evening. I am working on something else though and may have some other stuff to post soonish.

*big hugs to you all*
