After A Weekend Gone Bad. . .

Well, this last weekend was not the weekend I had planned and the long and short of it was the actions of one irresponsible person who cares only for himself . I won't go into the details, but needless to say the waiting around for commitments he had made and didn't bother to call for change of plans killed Saturday and Sunday and has spilled over into today (having to take a day off of work to do what he should have been doing). So, after getting home I needed to do something 'constructive' and I started to work on 'Not Your Garden Variety' story again and made significant progress. It also put me in a much better mood. I should have the story done this weekend and posting it to Gromet's website.

I would also like to finish the sequel to 'Maid Service Requested' which has been languishing in my computer. It shouldn't take much to complete that one either.

I have started getting a few followers on Twitter and hope to add a few more.

Take care everyone,

'Not Your Garden Variety' and Other Things

It is another hot Saturday, though the cloud cover promises a little respite from the heat. I plan to work on the finishing touches to 'Not Your garden Variety' tomorrow, if my cats allow me to. The youngest has ensconced herself in front of my computer screen and is toying with anything loose on my desk. Her current plaything is an orange pen.

It was inevitable, but someone has guessed at the ending of 'Summer Project,' at least, close enough to call it. I was hoping to keep it a surprise, but apparently there are a few twisted, like-minded readers out there. There will be a twist or two coming, however, that I hope nobody sees coming. The final chapter is pretty much written in my head, I just need to transfer it into the computer. It will be a long chapter, with the possibility of becoming two (but I plan to release both at the same time if that is the case.)

The next 'Book' in the Stephanie/Jeff saga will continue where the first book left off. 'Summer Project' will be able to stand on it's own, but the second 'Book' will be a sequel in the truest sense. I have yet to come up with a suitable title, but I think I am getting closer.

Take care, everyone, and play safe

Chapter 23 of Summer Project

Chapter 23 of 'The Summer Project' is done and will be on it's way to various story websites around the net. Please be patient because some sites get things posted before others. If your favorite site hasn't posted it, they should shortly.

Now, to get on with a few things around the house, including getting the barbecue grill ready for some chicken that is marinating.

Take care all and have a wonderful Fathers Day.

The First Draft Of Chapter 23

The first draft of Chapter 23 is finished and shortly it will be sent off to me proof reader for his perusal. It will be a long one, 11 pages all told. I hope to have it posted within the next few days.

That being said, I will be shifting gears to focus on a short story or two. I have several in dire need of being completed, so I hope to get at least one more complete before going onto the last chapter of 'The Summer Project' and the first chapter of 'Revealing For Summer' (It's a working title, I still haven't come up with a good one yet.)

Thank you for taking part in the poll. Would you like to see me write a sci-fi piece?

Take care

Spam

I have noticed lately a proliferation of SPAM in the comments sections of my blog. Fortunately, I screen my posts before putting them up so you don't get the dubious pleasure of reading them. So, take note Spammers, your message will not be read by anyone but me and even then, I will only glance at it to see if it is SPAM or not. So really, what you want to accomplish here will be for nought.

Everyone else, take care

Rainy & Writing

It is a cold, drizzly day here, perfect for writing. The latest chapter of 'Summer Project' is going well and I am about halfway through with the first draft. I hope to make a lot of progress in the next couple of days, seeing that the garden is not getting any attention to day.

After 'Summer Project', I want to focus on getting a few short stories done that I had started. After that, the final chapter of 'Summer Project'. Hopefully by the end of the summer I should have a fair amount done.

I am currently contemplating a new poll, but every idea I come up with seems to have more choices than I would like (such as, who is your favorite bondage model?). So if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Take care and play safe.

Twitter

Yes, I am now 'Twittering', giving you readers updates as to what I am doing and when I am writing. Today, it is another few pages of 'Summer Project'. I am hoping to get it done by this month sometime.

As a side note, I do read your letters, even though I may not answer them in a timely fashion. I do appreciate them.

Take care and have a wonder Sunday.

Working On 'Summer Project'

I have started writing again on 'Summer Project', picking up where I had left off many moons ago and things seem to be going smoothly and in the direction I want it to (believe it or not, sometimes stories can take on a life of their own and wander off somewhere you hadn't thought of before.) This should be the second to last chapter, depending on how long I make this one. But, I hope to wrap-up the first 'book' of 'Summer Project' sooner than later.

It has been a long time since I have actually discussed much on this blog, and for that, I am sorry. I will try to post more often.

For those visiting for the first time, take sometime and explore a bit. Tell me what your favorite story is or who is your favorite character. Make yourself at home. Hopefully you might find something interesting here.

Take care
