Doing the Snoopy dance!

My laptop issues have been solved!!!!!!111 Eleventy!1!11!1111

It’s back! OMG, you don’t know how much I missed it.

The screen is so beautiful. I can actually type without having to go back and correct every word for a spelling error because of the keyboard differences. I’m much more creative on my laptop, and I can take it with me so I can work when I’m not busy. Yea! YAY! HOO-YAH!

(/me doing various muscle poses)

And the best thing? My music is back. (sigh)

Ares Bane: an explanation

Writing on “Ares Bane: Nemesis” has been different that my normal writing style.

I used to get an idea and just run with it which resulted in a lot of failed stories and impossible plot threads.

So I switched to hard outlines. plotting each chapter and scene from begining to end. It helped me complete stories and actually improved my writing skills, overall.

Now, with Ares Bane: Nemesis (formally knows as Untitled Amazon story), I am shaking things up again.  I have a bulliten board above my desk that have a number of post-its spread around with sub-plots, ideas, characters, etc.

Questions

After starting a new author’s blog, I seemed to have forgotten the cardinal rule of being an author: Offering insight.

So, if any of you out there have any question regarding writing, ideas, whatever (it doesn’t even have to have anything to do with writing) then feel free to ask.

But like the genie, be careful of what you ask. You may not want the answer. I’ll always tell the truth or decline answering for personal reasons. I mean I’m not releasing my actual name and address, stuff like that.

Progress Report

FQ (P3): 4000 words (approx 40000 long)

Do it Right: 2500 (Approx 6000)

Transpires: 0

Untitled Amazon story: 7800 (10000)

Just a little update to tell you where I’m at for the moment.

My head feels like a rushing stream

… with a bunch of ideas spawning like little salmon.

Amazon tale – (loosly based on Wonder Woman): I had an idea … blame my dreams and Morpheus’ Lecacy Series.  I read them all recently and wanted to do a super-hero story, but not really super heroish.

Plot: young crossdresser (15-16) is coming to terms that he will never be able to pass as a girl. He’s too athletic and puberty has hit him way too hard. He gives up on his dream/fantasy of transitioning. Then his absentee mom shows up, out of the blue, and tells him why she left.

Issues

Hi guys and gals!
As you might remember I have been having computer issues. My laptop died and I am on a really old Compaq (Pentium III)!!!
So, it’s back up again… for now, and I can continue working.

Ideas are spawning!

Where do I get my ideas? *shrug* I’m just naturally gifted like that.

…

…

What? It could happen.

I get all of my ideas from Maggie Finson.  Okay, two of my ideas are from Maggie.

Transpires and Faerie Queen. Thank her nicely now.

Ever since I read her first Heaven and Hell story I wanted to do a demon one as well, but since the Succubus has been taken there are very few female demons unless I want to be very general and say a shape shifting demon.

Old Stories

I’m starting to pull some of my older stories out of the closet. The finished ones from back in the  stone age of  TG Fiction. I’ll release them over the next few days.

First up was Resident ShEvil which is going to shift over into the Transpires universe. It’s already posted at BCTS

Tomorrow will be The Exception to the Rule – Another Fan Fiction from the Buffy The Vampire Slayer Universe that I might shift into the Transpires universe. I don’t know as of yet.

Third, will be Man Enough to be my Girl – An X-Men Evolution Fan fic. It’s a cutsie formumatic fic.

POW!!

The Poseidon Adventure took off like gangbusters. Something like 20 comments overnight. I don’t know if that has to do with it being a new story…me finally earning my way as a decent author (so people check out my stuff now instead of saying, ‘maybe later, if there’s nothing else to read.’ Or that the subject matter was just spot on.
Who really cares. I’m writing stuff that people obviously want to read now., and they are reading it.  That’s the joy that authors seek. There’s nothing like knowing that people want to read what dribbles out of my mind.

Updates

HA!

The Poseidon Adventure is finished and is posted at BC:TS for your viewing pleasure. Now that that’s done I can concentrate on my current stories.
