I had to laugh at the announcement on my account page. Is there a leap month or some strange time interval going on? Then marvelled at how those months have passed reading here on these blessed pages. It really does pass quicker when one is enjoying one's self. Well worth the occasional passing some change into the hat when needed.

Chronologically speaking, Ashley had only spent a small portion of her time on the planet in what couldn’t really even be charitably considered ‘less than ideal circumstances’. To someone who had actually lived through that hell, well… let’s just say whoever even considered that comparison should probably get punched in the face.

Today, I found out my stepfather died several years ago.

Considering he beat the crap out of me, why do I feel bad?

The gist...

1. The story ‘Eldertale’ (featuring Alexa) has been renamed to ‘The Elementalist’ since I plan to write two other stories within the Eldertale universe
2. Chapter 2 & maybe chapter 3 of ‘The Elementalist’ should be published between Oct 8-12
3. I am publishing the lore for Eldertale, but it is not required to enjoy the story, and is unlikely to be enjoyable to most people

Hello out there,

It's been a bit since I posted anything but that's because I've been working on a 3rd Draft on my book Adrian.

I posted the first draft of it here a little over a month ago.

I have to once again say that I really appreciate all of the suggestions and feedback I've been getting.

Hi everyone,

I'm afraid that there will be no Twice Removed posted tomorrow. I've been trying to get it finished today, but the whole chapter just doesn't feel right to me. So I'm going to let it percolate in the back of my mind while I work on something else for a few days. I didn't want to delay it, but I would much rather that the new chapter be up to my usual standards and wait a week than put out something that I'm not happy with. Hopefully I'll have something else to treat my readers to later this week if things go well though.

Well um...yeah, it's been a bit, hasn't it.

The update goes like this: Instead of updating the second draft, I finished it. Now we're in the middle of the 4th draft instead.

Much of what is in the second draft is badly outdated. The first chapter for instance goes from 2,000 words to 17k in the 4th draft. There's a lot more flesh, a lot more depth, and the writing gets better.

Which isn't to say we can't keep updating the 2nd draft if you're all very thirsty. Or we can wait until the 4th draft is done, delete this here and put it up.

I found a list of clichés to avoid in one's writing. Of course, I had to see if I could use all the clichés in a short amount of space. It wasn't difficult, but it was kinda fun. Here is the result:

For those that have wondered what is going on with me and my writing...

Over the past years, along with medical issues that happen as we all get older, (back surgery a few years ago and two heart attacks since last November.) Work, which was something I once enjoyed, has become something of a horror story that I come home from and pass out instead of writing several thousand words each night like I once did.

you guys remember a little while back when I panicked about not writing anymore?

Well, I spoke too soon.

I've got not one, not two, but THREE new stories under way.

Just goes to show.

Before, I get started I just thought I'd mention that the revised version of Virtually Twisted has, at last, made it's way to BigCloset Topshelf! So, if you've been waiting for the story to drop here, please have at it and I hope you enjoy. Thanks to all those who commented and supported my website over these last couple years!

Ever since he lost his job, Harry has been eking out a meager existence with his fledgling repair business, but when a catalog claiming to sell real magical items falls into his hands, his life is ‘displaced’ forever.

I hope you're happy sis. She was always ragging on me to write for money instead of those silly captions and short stories. I just wish she was here to see it.

For those of you who enjoyed the story here, now you can add it to your library. A portion of the proceeds of any sales will go to BC.

Hello out there,

So I've gone and done it. I officially revised my 'Off-Time' series out of existence.

I'm in a bad place PTSD wise. hugs appreciated.

Well, things haven't got any better.

Things in the world of Maddy Bell have more ups and downs than a roller coaster on a rough sea at the moment.

Just to let people know, Syryn's Song chapter 5 probably won't be posted today. I have it roughly half done and I was hoping to edit and post today, and chapter 6 is 90% finished, but Martin and I are both feeling terrible today and I think we may have the flu or something. I just can't focus well enough right now to do a proper job of finishing and editing it today, so I'll probably have to hold off until next Sunday so I know it's going to be of the quality I prefer.

I THINKI once started a rather offbeat TG Alien Sci Fi story, and lost it when my laptop got stuck in the trunk when we were moving to Ohio from Oregon. The temperature was 104 degrees at times and the poor thing just fried. Everything I was working on was gone. Recovery efforts were futile. That was in 2009.

I suddenly remembered said tale a couple weeks ago, and am rewriting it now.

The final part is here at last. Be sure to keep your eye out, next week there will be a little surprise!

Edit: I am currently formatting the story to post here on bigcloset and all the usual places. It will probably find it's way here sometime within the next week.

Just finished up the restarted, "Twice Removed", and it is still echoing in my synapses.

The other day I watched an old movie, "Starship Troopers" and was disappointed. Apparently they decided to rework it in 2011, and they made a right muck up of it, in my opinion. The first movie was intact, but the others were not recognizable. The Videography was dark and they strayed from the original plot line. What a mess. I wish they'd left it alone. It was childish and immature but fun.

things haven't gone entirely to plan since the weekend!

Down at the Women's Trust Center this morning for checkup. Come to think of it, I didn't get "ma'am" one time while I was there. Okay, in all fairness they used Barbie to address me. All women so..., Let's see, at the restaurant, Best Buy, and Costco it was ma'am. I'm wearing jeans, big ol cowboy belt and big silver buckle, boots black cowgirl felt hat. Okay, a gold satin blouse and I'm a solid 34 C

I had to put down my little girl Pepper(cat) this morning. She had kidney problems that she was meds for but it wasn't working and she was not eatting or drinking. This morning I found her trying to find a place to die in my house.

Bringing her in while mewing was so dam hard it broke my heart to pieces, again. My friend had to be there while they put her to sleep I just couldn't do that again. Holding my mother's hand all those years ago was so traumatizing. Doing that to my little girl I just couldn't.

Paying out almost three hundred hurt me pocketbook wise as well.

I went though every line and edited it, and did my best to help the flow.

I edited the third chapter and now will work on the fourth.

The story has three Clans takes place in the school and other dimensions and they were fighting demon like creatures

Its been a bit of a strange week, this time last week I was in Hamburg!

On more part to go! I can hardly believe it's so close!

Just a brief note to let you know that I've just published the final chapter of "There is Nothing Like a Dame", the third novel in the 'Harriet' series. I tried to put 'Final' on the chapter number but whether this was the problem or something else, it didn't want to go onto the site. I've decided after all that it's not the last you will hear of Harriet. I feel sure there is one more book in the saga.

Well here you go, another Gaby chapter, The Right Honourable, I won't feel so bad now!

I just wanted to give a really good author a push, Amethyst has a couple of new stories out, and if you havent checked them out, you should: https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/80752/making-her-mark and https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/80753/wrath-wraith

A number of you have very kindly been worried after 'Cassandra' - Chapter 20 failed to materialise a timely manner.

First of all please don't worry, I'm fine and the story is definitely not being deserted. It's just that real life got in the way.

Here's the story. I'm currently retraining as a high school teacher (US) / teacher - KS 3 - 5 (UK). My year long college course to be certified as a teacher started on Tuesday and the last two weeks have been manic keeping me busy with 10 hour plus days.

I am looking for a story.
The story has to do with a theme park thats about all i remember

Thank you very much everyone. Thanks to all your support, I was able to reach my Go Fund Me goal:).

Just posted the pre-edit version of Jane -14- Cherries on Patreon free for everyone to view. Edited version will go up here on BC tomorrow or Monday. Edited versions are usually a bit longer, too.

I'm going to kick things off a bit early this week. I'll be out of the house early morning tomorrow and it will be difficult to post otherwise.

The location of my flicker Album page:

One of my post-retirement projects is to scan all my old negatives (or, where there are no negatives, the prints). I'm posting these on Flickr in addition to my modern, digital photos.

I am particularly proud of the latest (as of this posting) album, which was taken entirely at night of the Christmas decorations for 1999, plus shots of the Moon and the Capital building:

Karin Bishop's book A Day in the Sun is available in Prime Reading.This is the first Transgender book I have seen offered in Prime Reading. So if you don't have KU but have Prime you can read the book for 'free.'

Nine years ago I posted a very short story titled "No More Distance, No More Time".

For a while now the main character has been kicking at various neurons in my brain saying: "You gave me short shrift!"

Hello out there,

I hope you're all doing well this evening.

I haven't really been writing and kind of feel guilty about it. You see I've been working with a group near me and we're making a short film. I wrote the script, am Directing it and am doing the Cinematography.

We have two more days of prep till we start filming and we aren't even making any money for doing it. We are on such a low budget that we need to do a potluck for the cast/crew. I'm going to bring my famous chili which happens to be a vegan chili btw.

So BigCloset and surrounding is basically my full time job. I spend time buidling websites, tuning our site and others hosted by us, ressurecting sometimes forgoten projects that have been neglected over time, and try to think of ways to reduce costs, and/or increase revenue.

But like everyone else, I sometimes need to do "something else".

So as many of you know, I got really intersted in Photography (read as, fell down the photography rabbit hole).

Most recently, Cat, Myself, Amy and the NinjaBaby attendted the Atlantic City Airshow and so I figured I would share a few pictures with you.

Hello out there,

I wanted to let you all know that I did a very minor update to the 'Adrian' book.

So because of you fantastic people, I decided to write a new introduction for Adrian. It's right after the prologue.

So the change is pretty important.

It does five things:

Just when you think everything is good and nothing else bad can happen, something else slaps you in the face. I was just informed this morning that I have until the 15th of September to get both my dogs vaccinated and licensed because the city is doing a consensus. If I had been told about this at the beginning of the month, I would have been fine. As it is, Kindle has not been kind lately. I had to use last month's kindle money to pay for bills and the tiny amount I'm getting this month won't even pay for one vet visit. I'm NOT sure what I'm going to do now....
