Music prodigies - Curiousity, NOT a complaint

This blog expresses curiousity. It's NOT a complaint

Just wondering what makes the music business such a fertile field for the authors here when it comes to young prodigies.

This blog is based entirely on my memory, which is fallible, and I have certainly missed many stories. However, my impression is that the frequency of stories about a young M2F person making a splash in music as a performer is much higher than other fields with the possible exception of modelling.

Some small cosmetic changes

There isn't really any huge changes, just fixing typos and changing it to books of a series called the Huntress chronicles, also changed the name of the first chapter to Mother knows best. Because I really liked the name of "To save a monster" as the name of the whole first book.

Again, you do NOT need to reread anything, it's just some cosmetic changes, I am still working on the next book's chapter, I hope to be finished with it before may but I might be finished before that. I'm so glad all of you could enjoy this bizarre journey with me. I hope you enjoy what's coming next.

writing what you don't know

They say to write about what you know. Just as important is not to write about what you are completely ignorant of. Do some research or look like a total idiot. This was triggered by a description of rabbit hunting in a story not on this site. The protagonist was hunting rabbits over bait from a blind with a shotgun. When a rabbit came in sight he carefully waited to take a clean shot when the rabbit was fully enguaged with the carrot. If this doesn't have you rolling on the floor laughing you have never been a hunter and know nothing of rabbits.

I urge you all to be very proactive about your own Medical Selfcare. Drink lots of water. If you smoke, perhaps cut back a little? Avoid crowds. If you see a NIOSH 45 mask, buy it. If you can, wash your hands a lot. Weak Coffee rather than Iced Drinks.

So far, I am "well" for me. I am COPD, and a bunch of stuff. I have good inhalers and use them. I live very close to two Hospitals and have been self isolating for over a week. Please be careful. I love you all.

WHY ARE YOU WRITING?

Author: 

I'm not sure how many authors were writing to BCTS twenty years ago (yr 2000). Can't even guess how many are here now. What I can observe is there are a whole passel of new authors posting stories. That said, let me say this one more time as I have explained many times before. If you are writing strictly for the knudos and comments, I wish you lots of luck. You are more than likely going to be disappointed. Trying to drive this home to you authors is like giving advice on how to drive to someone who has been driving for years. It doesn't register.

1250!

As I write this, my latest story, "Family Jewels" has 1250 reads and 81 kudos.

And not a single comment.

I know that I've ranted about this before but COME ON!

I'm grateful for the kudos, but WHY aren't there any comments? Weren't any of those 1250 readers moved enough by the story to say something about it?

Even something negative.

I don't appreciate comments that say "Your story stank." No writer does. And, truth to tell, comments where the person seems to take delight in pointing out typos are no fun either.

So in November, I went through the raads-r test. I could see myself that I was in the autism spectrum, but for officialdom, I sent it off. And waited. And waited. Finally called, and they told me they'd never got my test. So I resent it and waited. And waited.

Epilogue for Helen's Diary?

I'm sort of stuck in writers... its not a block its more like a soup. Like you know the direction you want to go but are completely at a loss at the starting point. I know i want to write an epilogue for Helen's Diary but for the life of me i cannot pin down how far into the future i want her life to advance. I think i want to use the epilogue to branch into a new story because that is where my brain goes when one door closes a window is cracked open so you can break-in in the likely event you have lost your keys.(cameos) i just don't know how much of Helen i want in the next story.

Dresden Files Continues!

Amazon today popped up with the ability to pre-order the next book in The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher, "Peace Talks"! Coming out mid-July, woot!

Fans have been waiting six years since the last full novel in this series came out, barely getting by with the release of some short stories in various anthologies.

Book one is finished of my story, it has been a wild ride and I hope you all enjoy what's coming. I know my story is hella weird, and probably not what you are used to, but for those who stayed, I am ever so grateful. One thing however that I will NEVER do again, is not name my antagonist right away. This chapter alone took all my effort to describe a character's actions who I don't have a name for, but I still want to stick to his true nature. So yeah next story I write, NEVER GOING TO DO THAT AGAIN UGH.

Too Much For You?

I've had a dream, a very vivid, and erotic, and at times, impossibly lewd one. It was so clear that when I wakened, I was not sure I was awake, and not sure that it had not really happened. For me, the dream was impossibly powerful, realistic yet so very improbable to me. I'm frightened to write it down and publish it here.

In working on it, the story keeps changing shape in front of me. It is a mix of things I've experienced and heard, and perhaps things that I hope no one ever must experience.
