I just posted a new stand alone story. Relative Possessions.
I feel oblidged to say that it has nothing to do with my Goddess Stories. It is an old story I wrote a couple of years ago while my muse was taking a break. The story, in my mind, at the time was kind of "bleh" But after finding my inspiration and encouraged by some gentle nudging from Sammi, I revisited it and was able to rewrite it so that it is something I feel proud enough to share.
Someone else posted about why they write and it got me thinking. I wrote the following as a reply to their post but it seemed somehow wrong (maybe egotistical?) to put this as a reply when they did not really ask others why they wrote. That being said, I would love nothing more than to hear others reasons for writing what the wonderful people here enjoy reading so much.
It has been so long since I've written anything in my Goddess series that now that I feel like writing again I can't remember my continuity. The laptop I used to write my first 4 stories crashed some time ago so my character outlines are gone.
Has anyone else had this problem?
I guess it's time to reread everything and start taking notes. :)
I stopped at a yard sale this afternoon and as I was browsing the items I saw a man longingly looking at a beautiful prom dress from a distance. It was a beautiful lavender glitter long gown. It was gorgeous and an old skinny part of me yearned for it but I doubted it could fit my calf anymore and besides, I could not think of a single place it could be worn.
If anyone commented on my stories and I did not reply I want to apologize. Without boring anyone with my problems I will only say I was in a dark place for a few weeks and slipped up on replying. Now I do not know who I have responded to and who I have not.
If I did skip thanking you for commenting please know I apologize greatly. You words of encouragement mean the world to me and I was not ignoring anyone intentionally. I beg your forgiveness.
