New and Improved You Are a Meany

I have started working on a revised version of You Are a Meany. The differences in this version are I am going more into character development, giving more details on Luke youth, the sentences to be easier to read and less of simple grammatical and typing errors.

Just posted a new chapter

I just posted a new chapter for one of my stories - a relatively long one this time. And though I know it's past 11PM out there, I hope it's not too late.

I've been in the office since 8am, and have been waiting to meet with some contractors. I've been waiting for three hours now, and they're still not here. Anyway, while I waited, I started writing instead of sitting here and stewing. If they don't get here in 20 minutes, I'm gonna be calling their boss. This doesn't bode well for them being hired for the project.

Hello My Name Is... on Kindle

As I'm sure some of you may have noticed, Hello My Name Is... is no longer available to read on this site. I would have liked to keep the story up here a bit longer but my other books have run out of steam selling wise on Kindle and I have bills to pay.

ah hah!

Solution discovered to the problem with my Windows not updating, it was the hard drive. It's in the early stages of dying. So alas, I can't afford to replace it until September. So no Stuck in a Rut for a while, it seems. I'm on a loaner laptop, so I can still pop in and read my favorite authors, at least.

Story In This ???

So some guy asked to trace my Family History, ala Mormon style, and I told him that I didn't even care. I gave him some information and he found my purported family. Along the way, he turned up yet another person that I never heard talked about or met that I know of. In the generation I'm from, women with children had to do all sorts of things to just survive. Yeah, worse than 50 Shades, I think.

Then, I find that one of my brothers is not in the birth record under any name ???

I'm thinking that a man named RED ELK was my real father ???

Is there a story in this???

Taking Pains -2- Do you do an outline?

Yes. No. Maybe. Sometimes.

I almost never do an outline for anything shorter than 10,000 words because I can write the story faster than I can do a good outline.

And I frequently start even much longer works without a written outline. Currently, I am writing the serial Jane and I do not have an outline written down even though the story is already 32,000 words and is planned to be in excess of 40 or 50K. I have an outline in my head, but I don't have it written down.

Why not?

Kelly O'Meara and Me

It is amazing how quickly time goes by. As of this month, I've been blessed to be able to post my writing here. I cannot begin to thank Erin and the lovely ladies who keep this a welcoming home and a place to share our work. I am also at a loss to express the gratitude for all of you who have encouraged me and loved me!

Glaucoma

Hi Everyone,
To all that are following Harriet's story, I am currently recovering from surgery for glaucoma and it's hard to read and write since my vision is fuzzy. I'll post again as soon as I can. My advice is get your eye pressures checked even if you have no symptoms. Increased fluid pressure in the eyes damages the optic nerve and the change cannot be reversed. The changes are slow and pain-free, you won't know it's happening. I've been on eye drops and laser treatment for years, but finally an operation was the only option.
Best wishes to you all, Bronwen

Publishing My Digital Life on Kindle

I will be publishing My Digital Life on Kindle and in order to have it in the Kindle unlimited category, I need to remove it from this site. I thought it would be nice to give advanced warning before I remove it and figured this would be the easiest way to do that. In two days time, I intend to ask Erin to unpublish all but the first two chapters. I will also be changing the name to Earth 2.0 - My Digital Life.

Happy reading.

The Hekawi Universe:

First, since this has been asked several times of the couple stories Shadowsblade and I have begun posting in this universe, it is not fan fiction of the Whateley Universe. Yes you will find similarities, but then both are based on fictional worlds that have magic and superheroes in them, there will be similarities due to this

Finally freed some time up

I know its been six months since my last chapter ( To whoever was following my story, I deeply apologize for that), but I finally was able to start writing again this morning. The last six months had been so overwhelming, my writing and even just my laptop had to be put on the backburner. This morning marked only the third time I even booted my laptop up since my last update in January... I didn't realize it had been that long I had been so busy.

Masks 22 Notes

I'm reviewing some of the previous stories before I get into the meat of Masks 22. I am distressed to note the number of typos in Masks 21. I do remember that I wrote it in a hurry. So, will take my time with 22.

Taking Pains -1- How 2 Rite Gud

On Wednesday evenings, I run a local authors group called Taking Pains. The title of the workshop refers to one necessity for anyone who wants to improve their writing: the willingness to listen to unpleasant things about your writing. I'm going to try to reflect what we do in that group in occasional blogs here.

Thoughts on Furry to human?

I've been muddling over the next story in my exemplar universe. It involves a magic sword wielding anthropomorphic cat barbarian warrior king (whew quite a mouthful isn't it?) from an alternate universe being banish to our Earth after being deposed by his human slaves. It seems to me that it might be interesting if he had to not only adjust to being female, but also a human.

Normally furry would be a no go, but since this character would transforming into a human woman I'd be fine with it. Please would you share your thoughts?

Battle For Earth

Just finished for the second time, Daniel A. Wolfe's enormous TG Sci Fi tale called "Battle For Earth". It is well written but could use a final edit for spelling. There were not so many errors, and I told my inner perfectionist to Shut UP!

A treasure........

Several years ago, I was truly blessed to stumble upon a work of art called Easy as Falling Off a Bike. Over the next several weeks, I binged on it - reading more story with my every free moment, going short on sleep, and in the process getting to know the author, a very special woman whom I like to think of as a friend.

BB Mirror Verse

As some may have notice --- or not. I had removed BB: Falling towards the Abyss.

Why? Because I felt it wasn't something that fit well into the overall scheme of Bikini Beach in itself. This universe was created by the works of someone else whom I greatly admire but...

Author's tricks of the trade - Newspapers

Some of you might have noticed I added in a dummied up newspaper article and included it in the latest chapter of Cassandra (Chapter 8).

It took me a bit of time to work out how to do it, so I thought some of you might wish to tuck this little 'how to' away should you wish to do the same in one of your stories.

Step 1 - Create Clipping

I thought it would be more painful?

Catchy title huh? unfortunately also the cold hard truth.

An explanation? Back in November I went to my doctor with this feeling of a pulled muscle that wouldn't go away. It wasn't that painful, just a bit uncomfortable at times, it happened to be located in my left chest area. Yeah, yeah I know but heart attacks are supposed to be really painful right?

First German Title - Entirely Blank - Komplett Gelöscht

Hi there

This is to announce my first attempt at breaching the German Market with one of my books
My thanks to Monique S. who has taken enormous pains to ensure the translation flows and stays loyal to the original.

it is available on all Amazon sites, but I thought it prudent to advertise the Amazon.de site here as if you are reading this in English, there is little point in buying the German version unless you have German as a first language.

Where has Casey been?

Just thought I would drop everyone a quick note. I am alive and well. It has been a while since I last posted anything. I’ve not been idle. I have a new story that’s about 80% completed and a dozen others 25-50% done. I’m also working on a non-TG tech thriller novel that I hope I can publish and share some of my writing with my family for the first time.

Hope you are all enjoying the summer.

Who Wears The Kilts?

I mean this entirely respectfully towards the troops of Canada, Scotland and any other country involved.

So, was just watching a YouTube Video called, "The Devil's Brigade. Here come the Canadians", and now I have questions.

In the clip when the Canadian troops marched into the base, The Bagpipes were in front, about 16 of them. Then came Male troops in Kilts, about 20 or so of them. Then were perhaps 100 Troops in battle pants and blouses.

Money Woes

Next year will mark my fiftieth year in business. The first fifteen years I worked for large corporations. The last thirty-five years I've owned my own business.

Owning a business is a lot like home ownership. You say "you" own the business as if that is first person singular -- when, in fact, the pronoun is almost always PLURAL.

Been busy

Life currently has me busy. I live in Oklahoma so you, whoever decides to read this, should know about the flood last month. Then there's the fact that I have been working 6 to 12 hours over time every week for the last four weeks. I am tired. But my stories are still moving. One or two lines at a time. I hope to have something ready by the end of the month. Just please be patient with me.

Thank you for reading.

Summer Story

Working on a new story for the summer. I hope to start posting it here very soon. Its something quick and fun. It will be shorter than Hello My Name Is... and in very similar to my DarkRealms stories, you could almost call it a DarkRealms Alternate type story. The universe feels very similar. I want to make sure that I have at least 5 chapters written before I start posting, I'm almost done with ch. 3 now :). So stay tuned :).
