Hello out there,

I hope you're all keeping safe. I was looking for some opinions. I've been working with an English teacher and she has been going through my book "Adrian" and giving me suggestions. I feel that my book is looking a whole lot better. In this particular instance, I was hoping for an opinion from you all.

So I wrote this originally:

It was pretty reassuring that both the boys and the girl's rooms had stalls. At least if someone came in I was covered.

Well, it seems the power supply in my desktop decided to go kaput. And because I cheaped out and bought a refurbished one (a fact for which I am rather irritated with myself over), I can't send it in for a warranty replacement. Good news is, I have a perfectly functional laptop, which I've connected to both my monitors, mechanical keyboard and trackball (it's similar to a mouse), so I can still write while I wait for the new power supply. I don't foresee any problems getting the next part of The Fall of Kruhl up Saturday morning, but at this point I'm not making any guarantees.

Or as we say in GOC, its siling it down!

but is it the end of summer?

I have one more part of the story ready for publication which will appear here next weekend. But as with the best laid plans and all that, I need to get two more pieces published (one is written and one is still to see the light of day) before I get to around part 8 of my next story which currently has a working title of 'Vivienne' but may change. Maxine plays a part in that story but I need to introduce a character that plays a major role in 'Vivienne' otherwise, the 'continuation error junkies' out there will see a huge problem with the latter story.

My next piece, the "non-story" retelling of the backstory of one of my favorite book series, is just about ready. But I'd love someone to go over it, and see if I can improve it. Any takers?

Not a second part but the whole thing re-edited!

For over 10 years I had a Phd Psychologist at the VA who I thought at first was a help. Then I realized that she seemed to suck my brains out at each session, and then to sift my consciousness and finally put it back in. One day, I finally understood that and on my way home decided that I'd had my last session with her. I went almost a year without a counselor, then one afternoon, walking up the street realized that there was no reason to live.

I’m trying to find a story based in the Whateley Universe in which a teenage boy is exposed to nannites while on a school field trip to a top secret lab, and then while playing an RPG on his computer he runs into Fay’s alter ego and is killed while trying to save her in the game. The nannites are somehow activated, mutating him into his role playing character, a female elf, who also happens to have an affinity for electronic devices, as well as retaining her stealth abilities from the RPG, and some pretty well enhanced combat abilities from the nannites as well.

Hey, all!

Just thought I'd take a moment and thank all of you who made suggestions in my 'Story Universe Name Dilemma' blog. I'm now leaning toward The Alluring Legends Universe, which I know is completely different than pretty much all the suggestions, but just having said suggestions got the creative juices flowing and sparked an idea or two.

So thank you!

Have a delightfully demented day,

Here we go!

I just finished a novel about a family with a transgender child that I don't recall seeing mentioned here. THIS IS HOW IT ALWAYS IS by Laurie Frankel is well written and realistic. I enjoyed it and I think many of you would too.

Bullies with Guns, is the fifth book in the Drew Leighton series of novels. These books are a fun easy read with engaging characters.

Ripped from the headlines, students will appear at high school with guns. Fair Warning, NO STUDENTS OR TEACHERS DIE, but students do bring guns to school and there is shooting in the school office.

I've spent 99% of my time in my apartment since the last week in February, and when I do go out I look like a Niqabi with my mask, helmet and long sleeves. There is no idle conversation on the street. My expeditions to the street on my bike are to make an effort to prevent blood clots in my legs, and the resultant Pulmonary Embolisms that I've been warned about. Most Doctors don't talk to me because of my refusal to take their drugs.

Hey everyone,

Due to a power outage yesterday that cost me a lot of progress, and some issues getting the chapter to feel right,the new chapter of Twice Removed won't be finished today. I will try for tomorrow, but depending on how well it goes, it may be delayed to next week. Sorry about this, but the power outage really threw off my writing groove. :(

*big hugs to all*

Every morning I listen to the Bob And Tom Show on Iheart radio. For the past couple of weeks they've also been streaming the show on you tube with a chat option and I've become a regular in the chat. Many of the folks in the chat even remembered to wish me a happy Birthday.

Its the 6.05 special!

I just finished "Emily", and before that "Boy's School" by Sarah Lynn Morgan. I'm saving "The Gift of The Unicorn" until last. I love sweet, romantic stories, perhaps because there so little of that in lives. I've been pleased to sigh with longing, to giggle with mirth, and to nearly swoon at sweet moments.

The last I heard from Sarah is that she'd missed out on a job with NASA, and was heartbroken. I wish her well and hope that she is pleased with life and that there were bright spots.

not far from here!

Maryanne Peters' "LumberJackie" story reminded me of another story that I am pretty sure is somewhere on the Top Shelf here at Big Closet

Most importantly I can't remember if this actually happened in the story or was a story used within the story
(you know the type 'Take Care of your tools & they'll take care of you', and just because it worked last time it was used doesn't mean you don't carry out safety checks before use)

Person goes out for cut wood for the houses fires for winter and the chainsaws chain breaks and injures the person.

I never thought I'd be saying this

One of my most profound joys is seeing other Authors find success in the real world.

Some of you may remember a story called "Legacy of the Anari" on this site. It was pure Sci Fi and expertly written. The Author showed amazing imagination.
