I am about a third to a half finished with my next story, which will be _The Angel of Haven_. Here are a couple of excerpts:

"I don't like the fact that Mannequin keeps hanging around here," said Blackpool, scowling through his mask.

"When Mannequin stares into the Abyss," said Aaron, sagely, "the Abyss quickly looks away, mumbling excuses about how it has something important to do elsewhere."

And:

"Why is she even here?" said CornFed, obviously not happy about the empowered woman's presence.

Hey folks, for all the years I’ve been reading and loving stories on this site, I never looked into the subtleties of the site. I never noticed the blog function before!

Since I started trying to write for the first time, I thought I’d start a blog as well as an experiment. I can’t promise I will post a lot (I’ve never been good with things like diaries) but I think I’ll give it a try.

I’d like to invite others to ask questions and offer helpful criticisms about the first (hopefully) of my stories and ultimately about me if you want.

The next part of Necessity is the Mother of Invention is delayed. Not sure if it's due to the time change, new very comfy desk chair (the old one was getting pretty threadbare and the pneumatic cylinder dropping several inches randomly), or that work has just been that mentally exhausting but in the evenings after work when I would normally spend and hour or two on editing, I found myself falling asleep all this week.

I was digging through my stories just now and am amazed that several of them have gotten over 100 kudos! Thank you.

One of them, "Balmoral" was published in June last year. :)

I had started to write several other chapters to "Hala's Snow Day", but with RL wearing me down, had sort of abandoned the effort. I hope that the files are still lying where I left them, assuming that Microsoft has not done anything untoward with them. I still dislike the way that win10 manages files, but I have not one single gene of computer nerd in me.

Hey everyone, I'm sorry my writing has slowed down, real life got a little bit complicated. I'm hanging in there but still working a lot of things out. Since my story is probably a little bit confusing, I wanted to drop the chronological order for new readers:

Hey, all. I'm sorry today's edition of Weeping Willow isn't up yet. I fell this AM and have hurt my arm; thought it was just a bruise, but pain is intensifying, and so now getting it checked for a possible bone break. So I may or may not get part 9 up tonight; I'll try. Again, I'm sorry. Pray that my arm isn't broken. please. I appreciate all of you.

Hugz! - **Sigh**

In reference to a comment, I made earlier, I would really find it interesting to see the Top 5 stories read, of other people here on the BC page.

I will be publishing Vivid Dream Reality 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.

Happy reading.

Since I'm unemployed for the moment I figured I'd put some hard work into getting a few books done for Amazon. Rather than plugging away at my edit jobs for the two BCTS conversions I'm working on, though, I have a number of never-before-seen stories in the works I'm focusing on first, including the one I've chosen to focus on right now, a silly little short(ish) romance novel.

But . . . there's a problem.

here is an interesting article on trans characters in comics.

Despite not getting ANYTHING posted for the first set of prompts I'm gonna give this another shot.

As a reminder to people: this is about using the 3 words to INSPIRE a story, NOT "using the three words supplied IN a story." While the former might potentially mean the latter, they are not by any means the same thing. This week's words:

View
Miss
Loving

A few ways to consider how to use these words as inspiration:

Hi everyone

Me again, sorry, boring, but after a rather slow time - RL got in the way, a new book is now published on Amazon. Kindle version is up, and the paperback might take a little longer.

Sci-fi, body/mind swap fantasy. Book One of There Be Monsters. There will probably be three in the series.

Amazon.com - To Sleep, Perchance to Dream

Amazon.co.uk - To Sleep, Perchance to Dream

I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to everyone here.

It's already a month I've published The 4573rd day and marked it 'Completed'. And so it is 'Completed' but a part of some serial because there is no way to mark a story as 'Solo'. Why it has to be so complicated?

ADHD and Desert Roses

Hey folks,

After a long time I find myself longing to re-read a story. How nice, you might say, but why put that in a blogpost? Well, the thing is that I remember neither the title nor the author. What I do remember is the following:

The title I think was a greek word
Our protagonist starts out as a witness, goes undercover as a girl, helped by a special division of spies/super cops. These are all trans girls, but the company gives them very high end tools, indistinguishable from the real thing. Near the end of the story she becomes part of the organisation officially, and gets to live her life as a girl. If I remember right, she set herself up to be a witness with that exact result in mind.

There are a handful of authors here whose stories are sweet and romantic, sometimes with violence and war, and to them, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have blessed my life and brought healing into it. I'll turn Seventy Two tomorrow, and hopefully ,"It is all over but the shouting". As some of you well know, life can be painful and taxing. I hope that we help each other to get through yet another day.

I almost had this chapter of Necessity done last night, but try as I might life had other plans. I'd no sooner get off one call of someone calling to say happy birthday when someone else would call to wish me the same.

I was even interrupted in the grocery store twice by the phone as I was buying the ingredients to make my Nuclear meltdown Chili. (In my defense I have two friends and one daughter that also think the heat level is perfect too)

Luckily I found this morning free of interruptions and was able to type in the needed HTML and get chapter 3 posted :)

got a new story up. No it isnt the Holmes and Watson one.

In two days time, I intend to ask Erin to unpublish all but the first two chapters.

I've tried to make this one clear before but it's not getting though: Woodcrest is not a forced fem story. I know that in this environment it's what people have come to expect and are looking for around every corner but I want to assure you that my characters are not sadistic, nor do they want to enslave my main character. They're literally just awful people trying to do something good and failing at it because they have no idea how to care about anyone besides themselves. There is character development, but this is a series - it won't be resolved in the first few chapters.
