Finally posted something after a long absence. Have to admit, it felt good. Just wish I had more time to write, more energy, too. Make the best of what you have, so they say, so I will. Dead Man and Lillian told me another story, so I pass it on to the whomever drops by to read it. I do hope you enjoy their tales and I look forward to transcribing another someday soon. Until next time, all the very best to you all. 

Depression is a stone cold bitch. Fell off the writing wagon and holed up in my own little purgatory, hiding away from contact. Still fighting it, but I thought, maybe, if anyone depressed reads this, they should know they're not alone. And hoping to find that maybe I'm not either. 
          Anyways, I'm going to do my damnedest to get past this and back on the writing wagon with some new Dead Man and Lillian, a few new sci-fi ideas and perhaps a chapter or two of Furies. The girls have waited too long for me to get my head outta my ass. 
          Merry late Christmas and Happy New Year to you all and all the best wishes for the new year and beyond.

First draft of my June story is done, now I just have to figure out how to edit for the second draft. Having someone proofread it would be a good step, or so I've read, so I will have to see if I can torture someone with it.
          
          In other news, chapter four of Furies is done with the first draft. I'm trying to complete the entire novel before I revisit the story to edit it. I have to wonder if I'm doing the right thing, but I don't wonder about the fun I'm having writing. I just hope people will enjoy my attempts as much as I'm enjoying trying to capture the ideas in words. All the best. 

So, my first story is out and while I'm not pleased with how I closed it, I am pleased that I kept to my promise to myself. My next short story is already in the works, another single stroke, no revision story. I'm doing this to improve my first inspiration ability to create. Eventually I will turn that into editing and revision practice. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm enjoying this creative process. I hope anyone who may read this is as well. All the best.

I'm going to try to post my newest story, Recovery, this week before Wednesday, since I promised myself I would write a short story a month until I'm ready to begin posting second revision chapters of my novel, Furies.  Short stories will be first or second revision original stories unless otherwise noted, and I appreciate constructive criticism.  I write to satisfy my desire to create, a mostly selfish ideal, but I do hope that those stumbling across my work will find some pleasure in the ideas that haunt me.  All the best.
