I finished the stand alone follow-up to Gulity Until Ptoven Inncoent. I am going to start putting it up one chapter at a time. It is five chapters with an epilogue. I hope people enjoy it. Happy Thanskgiving.
I am sick and tired of reading stories like this over and over again. I am sick of depraved people using other people as the others to rally votes. I am sick of conservatives saying they are the party of Jesus. I am sick of conservatives who will do nothing but offer thoughts and prayers when they have the power to do something. I am sick of people who vote those conservatives in and try to say they are allies for civil rights. You cannot vote for people in power who have as their main platform treating others as second-class citizens just because you think you are going to get another tax break. I am sick of conservatives saying they are for personal rights yet time and time they fight to take them away. I am sick of conservatives saying that we do not have issues with discrimination.
I have finally sent the final chapter along with the epilogue to my editor. That means when she is done it will be posted. I just want to make sure that she gets the thanks and credit she deserves for the work she put into this story. She not only helped by pointing out errors in writing, she also made sure that I stay true to how I saw the story. That what I pictured in my mind was conveyed on the pages.
Hopefully, I am able to put a lot of information in this short blog. Here is an update on You Are a Meany. Chapter 30 has finally gone to the editor earlier today.
The delay comes from me making a decision in my personal life. I am starting towards a new career. When I go to the computer to write I end up looking up information about the choice. I want to find out as much information on it. In taking online classes and reading first-hand accounts of the issues of this profession I am finding out more about myself.
Hiya people
Just a little update. I have been working up You are a Meany and the next chapter should be to my editor by Friday. The hardest part is culling back on the story. I want to make sure that the story is open-ended yet at the same time solve all the big issues in it.
Chapter 27 will be done by sometime next week. Then it will be sent to my great editor and an even better friend. I usually don't like giving these updates about my stories. I am doing so because of that long delay I had. I wanted to let people know it is still being worked on.
The reason for this delay is a good one. I had a short story in my mind which demeaned my attention each time I went to write. So in a couple of days that story, Guilty Until Proven Innocent, will be up.
The next chapter of You Are a Meany is up. The long delay between chapters came from another flare-up of my health issue.
The following chapter is in the process of being edited. I am now working on the chapter after that. I do not want people to think that I will not get the story done. I know the ending I just have to get there without rushing. I feel bad about the long space between chapters. It feels like I am taking my writing cues from George R. R. Martin.
Thye next chapter of You Are a Meany is just about ready to be posted. It has taken a while because I had health issues. I am almost fully recovered from the issues so I should be able to write at a more normal pace. I want to thank everyone for their patience and understanding.
Hiya Everyone
Sorry for the delay in the latest chapter of You Are a Meany. It is finished and I will be putting it up right after this post. . Life has been extremely busy for me and the little amount of time I had to write it was hard to be in the right mind space to do so. Then if I was in the right mind space I had to take care of more important situations.
The only good thing about this space of time in posting is that I did work on the last couple of chapters of the stories also so there should not be as big of a lag.
Hey there everyone
Every so often I look at the listing of my stories on the sites where they are posted. I do so to see if there are any new reviews/comments. This is even with me writing for myself. The feedback for older stories helps me so much. It is nice to know people are still reading the stories, Plus, it reminds me to look at how far my writing came along since I wrote that stories.
Greeting and Salutations everyone
I am posting an update on when the new chapter of You Are a Meany will be up. It will be this weekend. I sent it to be edited and it looks like the editing is finished. I want to say thank you to my editor for such a great and quick turnaround. Even if it takes a couple of more days it will still be quick and great turn around.
I will be posting the latest Chapter of You are a Meany tomorrow. I did not have time to write because I was studying for taking the Life in The UK test. I was scheduled to take it this past Saturday but it got postponed. It did get reschedule for the middle of April. Now I have to call the Home Office to see what to do about my visa. I need to take the test to submit my paperwork. I was actually happy. After taking the test the only thing I would have had to do was to hit send on my visa application then wait for the Home Office to tell me to get my new biometrics card.
This is the writer's note for You Are A Meany. There is a minor spoiler in it so that is why I am not attaching it to the latest chapter I will be posting. I know from some of the comments people are worried about Luke. I do not want to ruin the story for people but at the same time, I do not want people to give up on reading it.
Here is an update and plans for You Are a Meany. I am close enough to being done with the revised version of the story that by next Friday I should have part one up. I then will put another part up weekly until the entire story is up. That is unless I finish writing the story early, then I will be posting the part daily. Then after the last part is up the story will stay up for a week. I am taking it down I do want to try to publish it. I have a great editor working with me so the editing part will be on par with the self-published titles.
The major rewrite of You Are a Meany is coming along great. I am taking my sweet time so I do not fall into the mistakes I make when I rush myself. I also have a great editor to help me.
I do want to pay back the site for helping me find an editor and also for when I post the blog about the book being on sale. The best way I am able to do that is by posting a free story. It is a revised old one from me. I added a lot to the story so it is just not me catching more of the spelling and grammar errors.
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.
The first three parts of You Are a Meany are reposted and had been edited. The final chapter will be up tomorrow. They will be up for a week when part 4 is posted.
Just a reminder that Becoming Sarah will be taken off of the site on Sunday. When I finish Here Comes the Brides and You Are a Meany I will put them up for a week also.
The first 8 and 2 new chapters of Becoming Sarah are up on the site for a limited time. The last chapter just needs to be edited and it would be up also. When the entire story is up, it would stay on the site for a week.
I would like to thank the site admin for honoring my request to put those chapters back up.
