Whatever happened to Sleethr, Bailey Summers, and Megan Campbell?

Last week, while at work, I ducked out of my office and over to the employee cafeteria - you know, sometimes you just need a few minutes away from your desk and the computer in order to save your sanity. So I decided to get a fresh cup of coffee from the cafeteria.

Just wanted to thank everybody who volunteered to be a beta reader. I'm working on your suggestions and I'm sure the story will be better for them.

Huggles for everybody!

I've got a new story, but I think I need someone to beta test it for me, Any volunteers ?

At the title states, Yes I am still alive and kicking :)

Haven't had must chance to get much writing done, only a few paragraphs here and there. Work seems to be an endless catastrophe or reaction rather than prevention. I also made the mistake of saying something about looking forward to retirement and that opened another can of worms as the higher-ups fear that my knowledge will be lost and now among everything else that it seems only I can do, I must train two others in all the crap that I do.

Hey everyone,

Just a quick note to let you all know that I'm finally starting to feel better, I'm merely down to sniffling, coughing and a bit of sinus congestion. So still a bit under the weather, but a far cry better than I was doing at the beginning of the week. I'm hoping that I can be somewhat back on schedule by Wednesday now that my head is somewhat clearer and I can think again, or at the very least manage a chapter of I Wish.

Anyway thanks to everyone for your warm thoughts and patience and I hope to be back in full swing soon.

*big hugs*

So I have been asked, about my writing, over the last few years. The most understandingly typical is my original serial.

I have tried to get back into writing, for some time now.

However it appears the fates, are not quite or were not quite in favour of such.

I AM getting my muse back & I have planned and came up with a great deal of story idea’s

Over the last few years, those that have kept in touch and or read a number of my blogs, know my life has been anything but easy, and rather too busy to do anything involving anything solitaire to my enjoyments.

I had writings I was working on, but Hackers & viruses etc, screwed up 2 desktops on me & now 1 Laptop... which thankfully but lass then I desired am paying off a new less satisfactory laptop.

My caretaking days & babysitting has been well vacant from my life, as the grandparents mainly my grandma passed away 2 years ago.

But abuse kept me from myself & I had to flee my home with nothing & spent 4 monthes in a woman’s domestic abuse shelter (under classified contract)

So struggling with poverty, famine etc personally with literally nothing more or less... it has given me more or less any effort for my creativity to flourish or at least put any in any action.

But, that I think is coming to an end, solitude has messed me up but also provided me more push to write again, just as I was like more or less back when I first began...

Maybe that is the rub, solitude is my muse.

I will no longer give time periods on anything... I hate saying anything that hold no weight... I believe you should always fall back on every word you make.

One of the biggest issues, which may seem small, is all the story details, I had wrote out... It was left behind when I fled, so I have to redo that too

So not sure if smart to do this or not, but I would love your feedback on these idea’s, pretty please

That's right, I have another, yes, another book, live right now and ready to sell, sell, sell, on Smashwords!

Enamored: A Transgender Romance Fiction Two pack!

If you like my stories "Romeo and Roomiette" and "Little by Little," then this is the pack for you! Enjoy both on your favorite reading device for the low, low price of only 1.99 USD.

the reception to my last two posts is disappointed. And while I did get a nice personal message that the second chapter of Revenge hooked them and they enjoyed it. That helped inspire me further on that
I hoped someone would tell me what they thought about the Star. I do know that may be of the most brutal stories

My story 'Lost Luggage' has just gone over 400 kudos points.

Lost Luggage link

It is rather a dark tale but one that I like a lot.

A big thank you to all who have read my stories and found time to 'like' them via kudos or to comment.

Sorry everyone who is actually reading Feral Saga, but I got pulled into a lot of last minute emergencies for a wedding. I haven’t had much time to polish up chapter 10. I hope to get it up in a couple of days.

When I hit a wall trying to expand my already started stories (Three! ....what was I thinking???) I refuse to be stifled and just open a new .doc file & start spilling out whatever distraction the muse puts in my way to keep me distracted. (sigh)

Hey everyone

I wonder how my stories fit here. So far I posted a story about a prince being treated badly. I have posted a story a husband who is being abused at work by his boss and faces a feminization and a forced marriage to a sadistic mobster with high level connections. And a strong wife who is determined to do anything she can to stop it. I have a lot planed there but it is brutal

I have also posted a recent story about a very abused and manipulated submissive husband who was cheated, and ignored, only there to serve his wifes sadistic boyfriends plaything.

This is simply a thought, and it might be more work than the admins and moderators wish to take upon themselves.

After re-reading several older stories, it occurred to me that with many of the authors that have ceased to post, their status is unknown for most people.

Might it not help to add a line to authors pages to give whatever information was last known about them? Active authors, of course, could do something similar. "As of 11/14/1776, I'll be going dark to pursue my goal as a crab fisherman in Maui."

Heya everyone! I just wanted to share with y'all that I've got a brand-new book available on the interwebs! It's called "Grue's Frightful Tales Volume 1," and is a collection of short horror fiction!

It's good! It's cheap! It's creepy, but no more scary than the ghost stories when you were a kid! It's seasonally appropriate! It may or may not mean the difference between me being able to pay my bills in November! BUY NOW!

Yep, as I don't expect to be posting midweek I've put together a bumper update today.

Hey everyone,

I'm sorry to say that I won't be posting Syryn's Song ths week. I was already behind on writing this week due to RL issues and general busy-ness, but now I've also caught Martin's cold. That would make it hard enough to focus on the very long chapters that I write for SS, but I also read something recently that has made me turn very introspective and now it's damn near impossible to focus on finishing it before tomorrow.

Sorry again to everyone who was looking forward to it, but I'm just not in the state to finish it :(

*big hugs*

Never liked serials when I was little. All the continued stories on radio, yes I'm that old, and later on TV were a turn off. Growing up on a farm, there were never any given spare hours where a continued could be picked up "next week". Thus I grew up hating continued stories with more than a little emotional passion and it never left as I grew up and older. My SO had the same experience and the same disgust for serials. The only exceptions were those that tied a knot on each chapter, each TV show where if it ended there, it was complete. "NCIS" Even that story grew old after a year.

When I decided I wanted to share a story I had been thinking about on this site I promised myself I wouldn't whine about the reception it would get. The story has a lot of content that might not be everyone's cup of tea and I respect that. But I had to write it the way it came to me and I even embraced some of the more challenging aspects of my inspiration on purpose, trying to do it MY way and not how I have seen it done countless times before. The irony would be that the story would be couched in familiar tropes and settings. I was shooting for subversion.

Anyway, I knew that the audience would be limited and skewed towards the "lurkers" among us. I think I've made my peace with that. I think. What has surprised me is the silence. I've had a few very enthusiastic supporters DM me and that has been absolutely lovely. But I kinda thought there'd be more comments (none for my last 3 chapters and a total of 4 for my last 5). I thought that by posting it I could learn something about how my writing affects people.

So far, I do see it being read. Not like some of the more popular stories, but again, I knew that going in and at least someone is reading it. So, whether or not you've read any of it, here's a chance to tell me what you're thinking without having it be associated with my story.

My surprise zombie short story, Day One, is now available to purchase on Kindle.
