PayPal Problems.

Hello out there,

It's me again, and do I have a story for you.

So two weeks ago I got my stimulus check and was really excited to finally have the cash to be able to get my book edited.

I remembered that PayPal had a check cashing service that puts the money directly into your account. I'm excited so I log into the app click the cash check option, take pictures of my check, and select the free same-day option. <----(this comes in to play later)

About 20 minutes later the transaction comes back as declined.

I've given myself a project

Well I've given myself a project.

I was making another story in my "Superiors" universe (Which I used to call the "E-Girl universe") and went looking at "The Saga of E-girl for some details, and realized that I'd changed a few things in the universe other than the name. Added to that is the fact that "The saga of E-girl" was the very first story I made here, and I'd like to think I'm a slightly better author now, and I think what I need to do is totally revamp it.

Wish me luck ...

I saw the link to The Last of the Fey today......

And it made me think about one of my most special friends, Denise Trask. I am ashamed to say that I have been so busy lately, and so buried in my own issues, that I have not thought of her in some time.

Rainbow Space Magic

So, next weekend I'm taking part in a free online Queer Literature convention called Rainbow Space Magic . It is a lot of Queer authors and varying styles of writing but it looks fun. There are author readings and panel discussions which should be nice. If you want to show up and listen to stories and people talk about writing, follow the link. I'm going to be reading 300 Rains and pushing it. Enjoy

Question for those following my story

As I can't sleep I thought I would get started on the next chapter. But something came to mind so I am going to let you decide. Since Susan has been given this gift of eloquence on speaking French and Gaelic Would you rather see:

A: If she is speaking in either use italics to represent that?

or

B: The actual language with translation?

Sam and Del -2- "I'm in Trouble Now" on Patreon

"Is that short for Samantha?" the policewoman asked while writing on her tablet.

I stared at her. "No, it's short for Samson." I might have put the teensiest bit of snark in my voice.

Too long ... too short ... just right?

So I was wondering if perhaps I make my tales too long. I've always heard the axiom that a story should be only as long as it needs to be, but I find myself incapable of weaving chapters of less than 4,000 words. Sometimes I'll be done with a chapter of my story and realize that I've managed to throw almost 9,000 words at it. Then I go through and cut what I think is unnecessary. However, it still ends up being a lengthy piece.

I want to keep people entertained with vivid imagery and description, but I don't the audience to get bored with all the prose.

“A Window to Your Heart” on Amazon

On Thursday, the first book I tried to have published...with limited success...will be free for two days.

This book was on BC but had to be removed due to Amazon’s practices. If you never read it before, give it a few pages.

Comments

Hey there everyone
Every so often I look at the listing of my stories on the sites where they are posted. I do so to see if there are any new reviews/comments. This is even with me writing for myself. The feedback for older stories helps me so much. It is nice to know people are still reading the stories, Plus, it reminds me to look at how far my writing came along since I wrote that stories.

“the best damn thing” for free

It’s on the site, but, starting Sunday the 7th of June until the 11th, the ebook for “the best damn thing” will be free on Amazon.

Not a lot has been changed from the version on the site, with the exception of some naming and grammar errors.
I am trying to work on the plot points for the continuation, “Sweet, but Psycho” (a sample of it is here on BC)

To Be a Different Someone...sale

I’ve placed my second book on sale for .99 for the next five days. I decided that it needed to be be refined to remove some formatting issues (and there were plenty of those....and there may be some that remain...sorry) and to place the chapter titles back into the text as they were removed due to possible “infringements” in the original text.

I removed some filler words...not all of them, since I speak in a similar matter, so will my characters.

For ten weeks

I have posted WITCO every Friday morning and Monday afternoon. Unfortunately this week will be an exception. Nothing really wrong except a need to recharge my batteries. The last two parts took a lot out of me to get just right.

The same thing happened when I was writing Stick her Shock 2. The story will be back next Friday and should be back on track until the conclusion.

Oh my word (and lots of them)

With nothing better to do... I started working out how many words I have published here.
I had this itch that needed scratching.

I've not finished adding them up yet and it is getting close 900,000 and will be well over ONE Million by the end of the year. I have one story that is over 80,000 words long ready to publish.

I will have been posting here 10 years in November. If anyone had said to me that in ten years I would have written and posted around a million words then I would have told them that they are mad, stark raving bonkers.

Feedback is Food

Has something happened, or is it just me?
I seem to be getting no feedback at all.
Unashamedly I cry out for it, but I am getting a lot of silence.
I have also contributed to a couple of blogs but I am not sure how they work.
Do they just die after a few hours? Or are the authors notified?
The recent one "Sigh, amateur (sic?) writers and laws" sparked my interest.
A big subject worthy of wider discussion but how do I know if my contribution mattered?

One Person's Vegan Results

Last November, I watched a documentary called The Game Changers. It convinced me to try a vegan diet, mainly due to the adverse impact the meat industry has on the environment. I'm not radical, in that I'll share an occasional hamburger with fries with my spouse, but for all practical purposes I'm eating a plant-based diet and enjoying it. I rarely eat the psuedo meat because it is so highly processed but live three blocks from a Burger King and will eat the occasional impossible-burger.

It's been a long time...

I have been busy with university but my module sort of finished a few days ago, I have to wait for the results to see what happens next. With this lock-down business, I feel like I've been in a strange place but I shall be returning to work for a couple of months before retiring altogether. In a way the lock-down has given me an insight to that and I'm quite looking forward to it. I was hoping to do all sorts of things to my house but the stocks and shares ISA I had is now much reduced so that's a bit of a pain.

WITCO -Part 20

Please read Part 20 before reading this.

I just wanted to pass on my thoughts about the story so far.

Back last September when I wrote the first few chapters I had three storylines in mind. You readers made it impossible to use two of them.

The first was based on this being an ill-fated love affair. It would have ended with Part 19 and a short epilogue where a distraught Christina returns to San Francisco.

Revising an old story

I was fooling around last night, re-reading my old stuff, and I came across "I woke", my first attempt at a longer story. Reading it again, I realized I might be able to make it a little better. So the edited and complete version is up, and you'll have to tell me what you think.

Sigh, amature writers and laws

Writers are entering and publishing without truly reading or understanding the legalities of what is or isn't plagiarism. Nor do they understand the repercussions of filing a "that's my story line" lawsuit without researching prior publications. The large publishers did all that expensive legals for their authors. They knew whether they had a legal leg to stand on or not. Now with thousands of instant writer-publishers who read something somewhere about DCM (digital copyright material) they start firing off take down notices to everyone.

Authors and sites MIA

Sapphire's place is down. Has been for several days now. Is she okay?

G.M. Shephard, the author who wrote the great series "Angel", never finished the story and seemingly vanished late in 2013. I emailed her but got no response. The email went through since I didn't get a rejection from the mailer daemon but no response yet.

Anyone know anything about these two?

A new beginning

Hi, anyone that was here 12 years ago, may know me as Phantasi_Boi, today, I've changed my profile name to my regular handle KevSkegRed. Why?? Well, I don't know entirely, I just thought it was necessary and so I'm just adding this small blog entry to let anyone who knew me back then know who I am.

Well..........

Okay, after 8 years I posted the next chapter of my story. As I mentioned in the teaser section I don’t think my writing has improved any, despite practice along with trial and error nothing seemed to get better. You are probably wondering why such a long time between chapters. Well partially due to my disappointment in my writing, and what seemed to push me to at least try, seemed to have decided to take a vacation in Tahiti, not that I blame it I think I would rather be in Tahiti too at times.
