The gist...

1. The story ‘Eldertale’ (featuring Alexa) has been renamed to ‘The Elementalist’ since I plan to write two other stories within the Eldertale universe
2. Chapter 2 & maybe chapter 3 of ‘The Elementalist’ should be published between Oct 8-12
3. I am publishing the lore for Eldertale, but it is not required to enjoy the story, and is unlikely to be enjoyable to most people

Hi everyone,

I'm afraid that there will be no Twice Removed posted tomorrow. I've been trying to get it finished today, but the whole chapter just doesn't feel right to me. So I'm going to let it percolate in the back of my mind while I work on something else for a few days. I didn't want to delay it, but I would much rather that the new chapter be up to my usual standards and wait a week than put out something that I'm not happy with. Hopefully I'll have something else to treat my readers to later this week if things go well though.

Well um...yeah, it's been a bit, hasn't it.

The update goes like this: Instead of updating the second draft, I finished it. Now we're in the middle of the 4th draft instead.

Much of what is in the second draft is badly outdated. The first chapter for instance goes from 2,000 words to 17k in the 4th draft. There's a lot more flesh, a lot more depth, and the writing gets better.

Which isn't to say we can't keep updating the 2nd draft if you're all very thirsty. Or we can wait until the 4th draft is done, delete this here and put it up.

I found a list of clichés to avoid in one's writing. Of course, I had to see if I could use all the clichés in a short amount of space. It wasn't difficult, but it was kinda fun. Here is the result:

Well the weather might be a bit damp here in GOC but the first medals of this years cycling world championships have been decided.

Before, I get started I just thought I'd mention that the revised version of Virtually Twisted has, at last, made it's way to BigCloset Topshelf! So, if you've been waiting for the story to drop here, please have at it and I hope you enjoy. Thanks to all those who commented and supported my website over these last couple years!

Ever since he lost his job, Harry has been eking out a meager existence with his fledgling repair business, but when a catalog claiming to sell real magical items falls into his hands, his life is ‘displaced’ forever.

Hello out there,

So I've gone and done it. I officially revised my 'Off-Time' series out of existence.

Well, things haven't got any better.

Just to let people know, Syryn's Song chapter 5 probably won't be posted today. I have it roughly half done and I was hoping to edit and post today, and chapter 6 is 90% finished, but Martin and I are both feeling terrible today and I think we may have the flu or something. I just can't focus well enough right now to do a proper job of finishing and editing it today, so I'll probably have to hold off until next Sunday so I know it's going to be of the quality I prefer.

I THINKI once started a rather offbeat TG Alien Sci Fi story, and lost it when my laptop got stuck in the trunk when we were moving to Ohio from Oregon. The temperature was 104 degrees at times and the poor thing just fried. Everything I was working on was gone. Recovery efforts were futile. That was in 2009.

I suddenly remembered said tale a couple weeks ago, and am rewriting it now.

On Wednesday the 18th (today) I removed Stick her Shock from BC in anticipation of it's being published on Amazon Friday. A portion of the proceeds of any sales will go to BC and a portion to The Haven where my capping is done.

Stick her Shock 2 will continue to be posted here with Part 9 coming very soon.

things haven't gone entirely to plan since the weekend!

Someone at http://www.wattpad.com borrowed my story "Our Daughter's Prom Date", and made superficial changes before posting it as her own. She wimped out at the end, regarding who was taking whom to the Prom.

MEPS98 posted two fantastic novels on this site a few years ago. One was "Severance Pay" and the other was "5 Hertz of Separation". Both stories were quite long and well thought out to their satisfying conclusions. Meps98 just last week published another novel on TG Comics and Stories, "The Venus Lily" is a novel written in the film noir style and has some really great black and white illustrations. Take a look at it. It's well worth the price.

Okay folks,

Since I've been back I've been working on some story chapters, but given that I don't have the time I once did I can't guarantee continuing all of my ongoing story-lines at the same time. The decision I've come to is that I will focus on Twice Removed, Syryn's Song, and I Wish first, on a weekly schedule, with the occassional chapters of other stories, Hyperverse stories, or other writing whenever my muse decides to push me in those areas. As I finish up story lines I will start to add Alex in Wonderland, Raven's Blood, and Winter's Child into the schedule.

Its been a bit of a strange week, this time last week I was in Hamburg!

Just a brief note to let you know that I've just published the final chapter of "There is Nothing Like a Dame", the third novel in the 'Harriet' series. I tried to put 'Final' on the chapter number but whether this was the problem or something else, it didn't want to go onto the site. I've decided after all that it's not the last you will hear of Harriet. I feel sure there is one more book in the saga.

Well here you go, another Gaby chapter, The Right Honourable, I won't feel so bad now!

Hello out there,

So I'm at it again and this time wanted some feedback. I've been experimenting with Showing like I talked about yesterday and wanted to run one of my experiments by you.

The scene is Adrian finishing up in the restroom. This scene also happens to be the scene I want as the cover of my book.

Have a look.

This was originally posted as a blog on my website. It has been tweaked a bit for readers here on BCTS, but it's more or less the same.
