When I started writing Luck Be A Lady, it was begun as a take-off on an idea presented to me by Prudence Walker. When I began telling the tale, I had an ending in mind.

However, as all who write know, sometimes the best intentions end up unfulfilled. Such is the case with this story.

As I progressed through the chapters, it became glaringly obvious to me that the ending I had originally planned, would simply not work with the direction the story had taken.

I never intended to post it as a serial, or a story arc. It was supposed to be completed in one fell swoop. It didn't work out that way, as should be obvious.

Personal tragedies and other real life happenings, led the story hither and yon until it was almost out of my control. Mea culpa.

When the story itself dried up in my mind, I left it, hoping I could return to it at some future date and finish it. That didn't happen either.

My final acceptance of who and what I really am, got in the way also. The long, sometimes painfully slow, process of becoming who I am today, led me in other directions and the story lay languishing in a couple of sites.

I had, a few years back, requested Erin to re=post all my work to Top Shelf, so everything would be available to whatever fans I might have. Again, real life issues caused delay after delay in the re-postings and I simply forgot about it for the most part, figuring that Erin would get around to it when she had the time, a commodity she has precious little of, by the way.

When it first showed up on the front page, a week or so ago, I was surprised, and I contacted Sephrena to see what she knew about it. She said she was finally catching up to the request I had made long ago.

I approved the re-posting, but wanted it made clear, in the header, that it was a re-post, not a new story. For whatever reason, that didn't happen, leading new readers who had never seen or read the story to believe it was a new posting from me. That has been corrected and the header now clearly states that it is a re-post.

If any blame is to be place for any of this, it is mine. I should have insisted on the notification in the header.

Again, my apologies to the readership, and to you personally, for allowing the uncertainty initially and for not following through on it.

I offer the same apologies to anyone currently reading Transformers (Sort Of) since that story is also stalled with no end in sight.

Re: my blog entry. I will re-iterate here that I will no longer post ANY work until and unless it is complete.

Thanks for your interest and comments.
