I'm finding it hard to find the time to write as much as I would like to.

Looking after an elderly Mum (with my wife) and having a job all take up a lot of my time and energy.

I have two stories ongoing at the moment, Sisters Forever and Get a Life. I am very conscious of the fact that these have taken a long time to write. I hate the idea of not continuing and then finally finishing them and I would like to ask for your patience and understanding at the moment in the hope that I can increase my output as soon as I possibly can.

Eagle eyed readers might note that I have withdrawn the story.

I think that I might have painted myself into a corner on that story and anyway some clever people who were kind enough to comment, stole my thunder and gave away the twist. Also, through another one of you clever so and so's, I realised that what I was trying to get my characters to do, wasn't legal and wouldn't stand up to close inspection.

Here was I thinking that I was a clever writer, but my readers are much more intelligent than me!

Saw this on a carers forum in the UK:

ONLY A MAN WOULD ATTEMPT THIS

Just try reading this without laughing till you cry!!!

Pocket Tazer Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife.

I have been asked by a number of readers about continuing We Shall Fight Them On The Beaches.

For not writing much lately, in particular Get A Life!

I published a book on Kindle. It took some time to get it right and I had problems with the cover page, but eventually I completed things to my satisfaction and published.

Sorry for the delay in posting. I have been on holiday. The final chapter should be up shortly.

I hope that it's worth the wait!

Just wondering if the hit counter is acurate at the moment.

Total hits on Football Girl~Season 2~Chapter 21 is standing at 360 and the number of kudos is 89; that is 24.7% of the hits. That is wildly out of proportion ot my previous chapters.

Any thoughts

I put on another chapter of Football Girl 23 hours ago. Having just looked at the home page, I note that there have been no less than 25 new stories put on since then.

Is this some sort of record? I wonder if that 'other place' with the initials FM get that sort of new story count.

It's a great testament to Erin and her hard working co-workers that this site is so successful.

Here I sit in Sue Towers, quill pen in hand - well it's a keyboard, but what's poetic about a lump of plastic.?

Outside it is dark and the wind is coming up, (too many curries). My typing finger is wearing down to the bone as the story just gets longer and longer.

First I thought that I could do the story in one, easy to manage and digest lump. Then it got too long and as I know that some readers have a short attention span and anything over one thousand words might cause a brain freeze (that's an ironic joke by the way as I am exactly like that) I decided to do it in two parts.

I am lucky, as most of my stories have a good number of comments and kudos.

However, some very good stories by brilliant authors don’t get many of either and that’s a shame. I am sure that some writers are put off by the apparent lack of response when just a few more comments or kudos might give them the encouragement to continue.

The reasons are probably many, a few of which are the very success of the site, the sheer number of stories to read and the lack of time to read everything.

Hi girls!

When is the cut off date for the Halloween contest? I'm thinking of doing a little story.

There are number of reasons why I write, the main ones being because I enjoy doing it and giving pleasure to others. I also love getting comments that reflect that people are moved by my stories. I get a fair number of kudos too, which is the icing on the cake.

But, and there always is a but; increasingly, it appears that I am upsetting some readers. In particular, at the moment, Susan in Football Girl is going through a hard time and things are happening to her that are unpleasant, to say the least.

The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered:

“Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money
to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future
that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not
live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to
die, and then dies having never really lived.”
