I'm going crazy. Ha!

I have four stories in progress and I have decided to come clean because the first step in kicking an addiction is to admit you have a problem, right?

Story One is the current "Reality Storm" story. I have chapter 6 ready to post and I'm working on chapter seven. I want to finish chapter 7 before posting 6, but I may run out of patience as I imagine the remaining five readers hunting me down with pitchforks for taking so long.

Okay, that probably won't happen, but still. :)

Story Two is a sequel to my MAU story, tentatively titled, "MAU: Robot in Disguise". I have the first 3 chapters written, but have kinda paused it due to "Reality Storm" and the rest of the stories. It starts about three months after and follows both Sadie and Hector/Jenna post change. I'm still working on the main plot, but it has something to do with a MAU being used by the Chinese government, or people highly placed inside the government. Not sure yet...hence the delays.

Story Three is...wait for it...A fan fiction of Penny Lane's Somewhere Else Entirely set in the Six Cities. The teen protagonist is going to have a little more of a military background ( Navy Brat ). I've tentatively titled it "Adrift Somewhere Else Entirely" ( ASEE ). It's kinda stalled at the second chapter due to a lot of excuses and distractions. My main excuse is: I don't wanna mess up. Penny's fans, myself included, are pretty rabid and I would hate to screw it up.

Story Four is titled "Whisper in the Dark". I'm not sure what it's about. :-P

On Monday, I decided to just "do it" and try writing more Whisper, and to my surprise, stuff happened. I have the draft of the first 7k word chapter in the can, but not sure when I will have more to write. My outline is a little bare. Umm, not that I have ever followed an outline before, but I need some excuse, right? Besides, what I've written might suck. Just saying.

Does anyone wanna take a peek at it ( or any of the stories ) and gimme some feedback on my Google Drive?

If so, send me your email address in a PM.

As Itinerant and others here know I am really quite sane and logical.

I would love to, but quite

I would love to, but quite frankly, I haven't been reliable in doing good editing or much of any writing at all. Just reading - it's stress, and it's a nasty habit.


I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.

Reality Storm

Post what you have, I always enjoy your writing.

Anything you write is worth reading, Yes, I would enjoy more Whisper, more I'm Not Mestique, but anything is good.

I am really likeing where Reality Storm is going.
