Who'd a thunk it!

Did you ever realize how many people there are in the world with the same name?

As mentioned in my last post, I finally settled on a pen name, which I absolutely love. I Googled first to see if there were any people out there with the same name, there was, but it seemed just one or two people non of which were authors. Good right? That's what I thought.

Then the other day I was on Amazon and looking at their Romance Author's A-Z list and discovered an author with the same last name, which isn't too bad, the problem is that the first name is a bit to close to the name I choose.

So now I'm bummed. It seems every time I do a search on a perspective pen name someone else has it or it's close to an already published author's name.

It's really amazing actually. You think you're thinking of a name that is original and obscure only to discover that it's not as original as you thought.

Now I'm not sure what to do. I absolutely love the pen name I choose but I'm hesitant to use it, being as it is very similar to anther's name.

Changing it would mean I would have delete the email address I set up for it and create a new one, not such a bad thing but I really like this name. I think it suits me well and I don't want to change it but I probably should.

I have a few others I was considering that were okay. They weren't as flowing as the one I ultimately decided on but I guess I'll have to revisit those and think of some new ones.

As for TRCG - chap 7 is being beta'd and I've got 8 pages into chap 8. All things considered, I think it is moving along quite well. The drive to complete is still there which is a very good thing. I haven't been able to get back to it in the last couple of days, but I hope to have chap 8 finished up by the end of next week.

Getting Psyched!

2010-04-06T06:46:00.000-07:00

In the rare moments of RL when I have an extra amount of time - very little and very rarely, and after B/A writing - I've been working on a new site for my original stories.

I wanted to create something separate from my B/A fictions, so a new site and a new name were needed. I've chosen a new pen name that I'm super psyched about and the site is in the works.

Of course, in the beginning there's not going to be much to it but once the stories start coming, hopefully it will grow.

I'm not sure yet when I'll open it, I still have to work on the layout and such and adding the little bit of content that I have to put on it - most of which is all pertaining to D'rkenrealm - speaking of which, please visit D'rkenrealm's page for some updates to that.

Anywho, I'm very excited about it because it feels like I'm taking my first step on the road to doing something more then writing fan fiction. It's my goal to get something published but doing that requires a lot of determination and dedication. The determination part I have - 100% - but it's the dedication that I just don't have much off these days that's holding me back from seriously pursuing a writing career - even part time.

The funny thing is that I am not afraid of succeeding, my fear is that I will succeed and that I won't have the time to commit to it 100%. After all, time is everything and time is what I don't have a lot of.

Time constraints may sound like a lame excuse, I mean if you love something then you make time for it, right? In most cases I would agree but my situation is a little different, there are other people involved besides myself that I can't turn my back on. But in the interim, I can still write - when I find the time - and I can still work toward my goal. Because while it may not be in reaching distance now at some point in time it will be and when it is I'll be ready to grab it!

This rant probably makes no sense to anyone, who isn't living my RL but writing my thoughts makes me feel better and keeps the dream alive.

Warriors and Lovers page has been updated with a short update on TRCG.

2010-03-25T05:28:00.000-07:00

Look at me - two posts in one week - schwing!

I don't know what's going on but ever since I wrote the last post, I've been excited to post again! And, I've even picked up some excitement to write TRCG - WOO-HOO! In fact, the night of my last post I went home and actually outlined the last 4 chaps and epilogue. That may not seem like a big ta-do to you but for someone that rarely uses outlines that is a big step. Especially huge since I'm actually going to follow it *G*.

I credit D'rkenrealm for that because in the past I never used outlines and if I started a story with one I almost always veered away from it, but since I've started writing D'rkenrealm outlines have suddenly become very important - the only way to keep my head straight with all the plots, subplots, and background. It's become a vital piece of my writing and that is a very good thing. Outlines keep all my chaotic thoughts and ideas in order and on the right path. I even get a sense of exhilaration when writing them, like I can't wait to start the actual writing of the story. And that my friends is the best part about them. Because you can't write a story you aren't feeling, which as I admitted before, has been my main problem with TRCG, lack of interest.

Creating the outline as renewed that, it's made me enthused about writing the story again and that is SOOOO important. I don't want to just write something for the sake of appeasing the masses and finishing the story - that would be a worthless shallow piece of crap. I want to finish the story they way it deserves to be written, being excited about it once again is a Godsend. But I have to move fast and go with it now before it does a disappearing act.

So, I have my last 4 chaps outlined I just have to write them, which shouldn't be too bad. I figure 10-12 pages per chap, 4 chaps + an epi, that's only 60 pages which is not much at all. If I really buckle down I can get 2 chaps done in one week, along with the first editing which I do myself. That would mean I could have the story wrapped up in 2-3 weeks, not accounting for final editing with my beta-babe of course.

While I've set a goal that is reasonable and completely doable it's sticking to it that's hard, however I will endeavor to do my best! No more fucking around damn it! I want this story finished - kaput - done! If it stretches out any longer I think I'll get really depressed, which is so not a good thing. But I will not let that happen!

Let the mantra begin!

I will write...I will finish this story...I will write...I will finish this story....

2010-03-23T05:21:00.000-07:00

Damn, it's been a long time since I posted here and that's really not what I wanted to happen at all. Y'all know I am the queen of procrastination right? *shakes head sadly* Well, let's see if I can fill you in a bit of why I've been dragging my ass in getting done what I want to get done.

Basically it's like this. A long time ago...seems like forever now but in realty it goes back to my last post...I use to have a really cool job. The bosses were never here. The company ran like shit but everyone was making lots of money and so ignorance was bliss. For my part, coming from a previous job that had me visiting the emergency room from anxiety attacks and stress, I came to this job with a new stress free whatever attitude. It was great! I came to work, sat at my desk, kept to myself, and did the little bit work that I could do with my eyes closed and in about an hour, leaving the rest of my day free to do whatever I wanted to do, which pretty much meant - writing!

Now, that's all changed...the economy, the industry has changed, changes mean less money in the bosses pockets, less money in the bosses pockets mean their crabby a-holes that are now finally seeing just what a f**ked up mess their company really is and want to change every thing.

All these new changes means that for the first time in the 10 years that I've worked here I am now actually working all day long. My wonderful optimistic stress free whatever attitude, flew the coup and I was once more thrust into the stressful environment that turns me into this speed demon control freak who I really loath and never wanted to be again.

It was like that for the past two years, it's getting better now, but I still don't have much time to write. I get home, I'm exhausted. I have about an hour to chill out - 'me time' - before the hubby gets home, which I usually spend reading and relaxing - clearing my head. Writing - anything - has been extremely difficult because my head is just not where it needs to be. And when it is, I've been focusing more on the original stories than finishing up TRCG. Which really saddens me.

I just don't have much desire or excitement to write that story anymore. There are other things I want to move on to, and I wish that I had ended it after Book Two. Sad, but there you have it, why it's taking me so long to finish this story. Between work and RL, and a lack of desire, nothing's getting done.

That's the way things have been for me for sometime now. I have bursts of ambition that are few and far in between. But today, I'm going to try and write something for TRCG. I don't know how much I'll get done but I'm going to give it a shot and see how far I get.

So that's my rant, my -what the hell have I been up to - diddy. I have more to yap about, like where I'm at with UY and some story thoughts that have crept into my head for B/A but I think I'll save those for another day.

I'll try my best to come back tomorrow and post something, but for now, I need to get back to work, and see about finishing up a story.

*hugs*

The craziness that my life has become!

2008-07-09T06:22:00.001-07:00

Man, life has certainly changed for me in the last three months. So much so that it has seriously given my writing and fandom activities a beating and it sucks!

First and foremost, the manager of my office (who had been here since the place opened up 14 years ago) died of a massive heart attack in May. Now, normally this wouldn't cause such an upheaval in a company. One man dies you replace him. But in this case it did. The reason is because the man that died was a prick. Plain and simple. Don't get me wrong I feel bad for his family that he died, but he was not a pleasant man to work around. In fact, his pissy arrogant attitude effected the entire establishment. No one wanted to work with him and we lost business because the customers didn't want to deal with him. Hell, even the freaking boss didn't want to deal with him so he didn't and instead he let that a-hole run the business down into the ground. Now that he's gone, the boss is around much more often and wants to make a whole shit load of changes AT ONCE! So everyone is scrambling with new procedures and changes. Plus we're starting up a new software program for our inventory which is a HUGE freaking project that was just dropped on me. Then on top of that I'm re-designing the company web site. So you add all that on top of my other twenty million responsibilities I have to do and my day is hectic, to say the least.

Not only has work been totally consuming my thoughts but my big brother is in Afghanistan so I have him on my mind as well. He's doing a year over there, he's not in the military he's actually a cop from LA but he took a year off from the force and was hired by a private security company that has a contract with the military to go over and help in getting information on locating Bin Laden and getting that information to the right people. It seems the military has so many young people and they are not experienced in that area of logistics, so all the information they do get does not get to the right people to do anything with it. They are all fa-clumped and are hiring civilians that have experience in that area. My bro worked in the gang division in LA for many years, did undercover work, and interrogation so he's capable and a risk taker, so he took the job and headed over there.

With all of this going on my mind has been preoccupied on everything but writing. When I come home from work I just want to lose myself in a good book for an hour or so to relax, and that's what I've been doing.

BUT I've been feeling the itch to write YAY! And work is becoming more stable and I think I foresee some writing in my future and yes Book Three is up at bat.

So that's where I've been and what has kept me away. I'll always be writing you know that people! I love to write and there is nothing that can take me away from it for too long *G*. I haven't gotten any further in Book Three since my last update to the group but like I said, I'm hopeful that that will change soon.

*keeping the faith*

There's nothing like writing fresh smut!

2008-03-19T05:15:00.000-07:00

The poll has ended and I am so excited to see that Destiny: Part Three won!

To be honest, that was the scene that popped into my head that I was dying to write so I'm thrilled that everyone voted for it. Well not everyone, and I have to say that I'm a bit shocked that Spontaneous Liaisons came in a hot second...um, I never would have thought that. Not that I don't like the series because I do, it's the brain child of myself and Bre, and I love the whole concept of it - intense sexual encounters with a stranger, who doesn't fantasize about that every once in awhile - but there's not much else to them is there, which is good :) Ah well, the good news is that I have a scenario for every one of the stories that were on the poll so I would say that they will all get written at some point this year, mainly because I need that outlet from the more heavy plotted stories.

Which leads me to why I need those outlets...I have run into a snag with Abaigeal and Nikolai. I've written five chapters, five freaking long ass chapters, when I realize that I'm not entirely happy with it. While it's good it's not really where I want to take the characters or the type of story that I initially wanted to write.

I've had an epiphany while writing this story - well not entirely true, I've know it for awhile but haven't fully bucked up to it yet or rather stopped myself from doing it - but I know that I have a tendency to go overboard when it comes to a character's inner musings when I write. For example, I can turn a two page short story into a twenty page look into the characters deepest thoughts and feelings, and in so doing I make the story drawn out and very deep and analytical. I don't necessarily think that's bad, it has it's merits in the proper story. But if I want to write something fun and light then doing that does not work at all. It completely changes the story around.

For example, two characters are having a conversation, in between the dialogs I would run off with one of them musing about something for a couple of paragraphs. Now, not a bad thing entirely because it's putting you in the mind of the character - giving you an in depth look into them, which is good it makes them more real - BUT it also takes away from the impact of the dialog, and makes the conversion harder to follow.

I think it's important as writer to know what your stronger suits are. While I look at this - see analyzing myself, ah I'm the product of a shrink what can I tell ya - I've realized that I have three styles of writing that I tend to do. They are good styles, I think, but sometimes one is better then the other - it all depends on where I am in that moment, and the story and the characters themselves. So here's what I've come up with.

Style #1 - The Saga: The deep and analytical tale, perfect examples: Saving Me, Saving You and Lay It On The Line. The chapters are long and involved. You know everything that the characters are thinking and feeling. It can at times be redundant and a bit slow. But it's a process, a journey into the minds of the characters as they make their way through the plot of the story. From a writing stand point, I tend to have huge blocks of not knowing where to take the story next or pulling my hair out with trying to figure out a certain plot line which is bothering me. It's a type of story where I find that I have to step away from it for a while, take a breather, and look at where it is and where I want to take it and if I'm accomplishing that with the way that it's currently going.

Style #2: The fun and light tale, perfect examples: Quicksand, Mine, Young Lust. The length of the chapters is not so much the difference between these stories and the Saga stories, but rather the contents. In this style the musing are kept shorter, more direct and to the point almost as if the character is speaking them rather then thinking them. They are also kept to a minimum during conversations. Which makes the story flow smoother and faster. I don't think that takes away from getting to really know the character it is just another way around that. More direct and more 'human' like, if that makes any sense. These stories seem to just flow right out of me with very little breaks in the thought process. I tend to get very passionate about writing these stories which makes it exciting to write hence the no blocks of nothingness.

Style #3 - Smut: Smut, smut, smut. This pretty much speaks for itself, doesn't it? PWP's. There are no plots or maybe a slight plot like How Sweet It Is but basically it's just a journey into the sexual appetites of the characters. Love these, as you all know. They are my escape from those damns blocks that happen in the Saga's.

I think that while all these styles are good as a writer I am at my best with Style #2.

I'm explaining all of this because this is the snag that I've encountered with Abaigeal and Nikolai. In the beginning I was undecided as to how I wanted this story to go. I had different ideas for both a saga and a lighter read ultimately I decided on the saga. Now five chapters into this style and it's not working for me anymore. There are some aspects of it that I like but I find the passion to write the story is waning. I find myself thinking about the other scenario that I had before I started to write. Which ironically enough was the way I first envisioned the story to begin with - perfect example of how you - or rather I - should never waver from your original thoughts. I like some aspects of the story but Nikolai is becoming a bit too broody while Abaigeal has seem to lost her way entirely. If the writer doesn't have a grip on the characters, how can the reader be expected too? You can't.

So what's a girl to do? She takes a step back - writes some good ole' smut - and then starts all over again. I can use a lot of what I have. I just have a lot of editing to do. Rearrange some things, delete, add...all that jazz and I should hopefully be able to use most of it even though I am making some big changes in the way of the plot. In the end, I think it will be better. The characters more life-like. The story fun, sexy, and a good smooth read, with a bit of the characters stubbornness thrown in there of course, that's the fun part *G*.

That's my plan and this new PWP could not have come at a better time. So I'm off to write that. I should probably have it ready for posting next week. Not sure yet if I'll send it to beta, don't know how busy my beta babe is and I'd like to get this one out for you quick. We'll see what happens.!

Still here and still writing!

2008-02-12T05:59:00.000-08:00

No, I have not fallen off the face of the planet *g* I've just been sucked into another dimension - on the outskirts of our own *wink*. Yes, I've been busily writing away on the original story of Abaigeal and Nikolai. These two are cooperating well, so far, I am just so excited to be writing their story and the brothers as well. It's just amazingly different writing this then a BA story. The freedom to create my own world is really cool and I am SOOO digging it.

I haven't been back to Book Three in a while and I told myself yesterday that I must write a bit more for that one soon. The problem is that right now, my muse is in another dimension and she's extremely happy there and doesn't want to come out. I am but her slave and at her mercy. But I do hope to write more on Book Three. I definitely want to finish that series up so I can really concentrate on this new one.

I got a request for Book Two of Serendipity yesterday, which was very nice indeed. I really love that story because of it's uniqueness and it's nice to know that there are others out there that enjoyed it as well. I actually have been thinking of this story as well, going back a few months now. With all these stories floating around in the noggin, I've decided that some goals are in order to keep everything straight in the brain and to give me something to work at.

So here is my goal for the year.

1.) Write New Series, Book One (Gees, I need a name for this!)
2.) Write and post the complete Book Three of PITD Series.
2.) Begin Book Two, Serendipity Series.

So that's it...my goals that I am determined to do this year. And yes, they are listed pretty much in order. The new series will be the continual story that I work on and then the secondary story will be the others. I've decided that I'm not going to post the New Series until it is complete. However, Book Three I will begin to post when I have a good chunk of it completed - a good chunk meaning 90% - this way you can begin reading it and then hopefully there won't be too much waiting time till the ending is posted.

Now of course, in between all this, the muse popped in for a visit over the weekend with yet another BA storyline. It appeared to me in the form of a hot sizzling PWP one shot. So that may show up too at some point, it all depends on how insistent that story becomes.

That's that on the writing update. On a side note, I read a really fabulous short story over the weekend. It's called, Forever Yours written by Charlotte Featherstone (here is the link to the book on ebooks.com)

Forever Yours, by Charlotte Featherstone

This is a short story about a Victorian Era married couple with four children who have lost the spice in their marriage. They start to write each other notes explaining their fantasies to each other and then they start to act them out. It's very short, something like 115 pages and it's only $2.99 to purchase off ebooks.com but well worth it. It was hot, hot, hot baby! And it is really a fantastic story idea. I mean how many of us that have been with either a boyfriend of a husband for a long time have seen some of the sizzle leave your relationship? I think a lot of people can relate to this story.

So good book - highly recommend it! If you read it, I'd be interested to know what your thoughts on the book are so please feel free to post it!

*hugs*

Ever Read a Lora Leigh Book?

2008-01-22T04:58:00.001-08:00

Have you ever read a Lora Leigh Book? I've read a few now and if you're looking for a contemporary 'romance' - and I use that term loosely, read one - anyone - and you'll see what I mean - with a whole lot, and I do mean a whole lot of smut, then she is your author.

Now, y'all know me, I LOVE SMUT! I love a book that has a lot of shagging going on. Romantic shagging, foreplay, or just down and out fucking. It's all good in my book. And depending on the story and the characters, one love making scenario makes more of an impression then another.

Lora Leigh is a decent author. I've read maybe five of her books so far and the smut is good, sometimes damn good. The problem is that it is always the same. Every book I've read so far, the male characters are the same. They are all stud alpha-type dominant males, who talk and act, and make love the exact same way: vocal, dominate, demanding. All good things but it's the same thing in every book. And here's the kicker...they all love anal sex! Every book I've read so far, there is lots of anal sex. Again, not a bad thing - at all. But in every book! With every character! It's like you're reading different books but everything is the same so it's like your reading the same book. Even the plots and the scenarios don't differ that much from each other. She's also big on M/F/M threesomes, and works this angle in a lot of her books.

Being a lover of smut you would think that this would not bother me, but it does, because - I can't beleive I'm going to say this - but it's TOO much smut. I mean, the whole point of a romance is too build up the tension between the two characters until it explodes in the first encounter, and then it should keep building with every joining after that. You should have this feeling of excitement in your gut when you're reading, like you can't wait for their next love making scene. But in Lora Leigh's books it's all about the sex and not much else, and if there isn't anything else besides that, than how do you really 'feel' the characters? You can't, because there is no depth to them. You are never given a chance to get to know the character on a more intimate level because their sexuality - which can be amazingly good - is always at the forefront. Every girl needs a little romance. It shows the tender side of a man. A man can be alpha dominate yet you still want him to have that little side of him that can be tender and loving...romantic. These guys are not romantic, I'm even going to take a jump here and say they border on being bullies/thugs. I love take charge dominate male characters - who doesn't - but these guys really steal the show when it comes to that department. Again, not a bad thing, but you want more in a lead character especially in a romance. You want to fall in love with him as much as the heroine does, and sadly with Leigh's lead characters you can't. Honestly, I'd fuck anyone of them, any given time, but love them? No.

Well except maybe one.

There is always an exception, isn't there?

In all the Lora Leigh books I've read so far, there is one that stands out and has become my favorite of hers. Nauti Nights. This book is actually the second book in a series of soon to be three. What makes this one different? Not the smut, that's for sure *wink* that is definitely the same, but it's the characters themselves that are better and if the characters are better then the sex scenes are that much hotter. They have a history - another common plot in all her books - but it's written better, the characters pop to life more in this story. And their back story is deeper, more emotional. You actually have a chance to fall in love with these characters that she doesn't give you in the other books. There's talk of threesomes, but you know that this male character would never share the woman he loved with another man, which appeals to me.

I guess I'm analyzing these books because I'm developing my own original story and building the characters up to be individuals and not the same drones. When I read a story likes Leigh's I can see and feel as a reader myself, just how important that is. How much more engrossing the story and tale can be. It's like a reminder to me that there is more then just raw smut to a story. And that without solid characters to get to know and love, then smut is..well, just smut.

I'll wrap this review up by saying this. I do enjoy Lora Leigh's books. The smut, though redundant at times is pretty hot. And if you're looking for a light read with lots of dirty smut with a dominate male character then try one of Lora Leigh's books. If you're going to start with Nauti Nights - the second book described above - you can, you don't need to read Nauti Boy first because she sets up the background pretty much in every book. I read Nauti Nights first and I wasn't lost at all, and so far it's turned out to be my favorite.

Nauti Nights, by Lora Leigh

Happy reading!

Writing Update

2008-01-14T05:01:00.000-08:00

Original Works Update:
I have to say, that I'm getting totally psyched to start writing this story. Right now, I'm working on developing the characters and writing out the outline, and the more I do the more excited I am to begin it!

It just feels so different from creating a B/A story. I guess because the characters are all mine, and it's totally up to me to decipher everything; what they'll look like, how their personalities are, and how they interact with each other. I have so much control over, well...everything, and that is really cool for a control freak like me *G*.

I have a name for our heroine; Abaigeal. I know it's not the best name but I choose it for three reasons but the only reason I'll spill now is that in Gaelic it means 'father's joy'. Considering that there are seven children and she is the only girl, I thought it was very appropriate. And yes, all the boys have Irish names as well. What can I say? I just can't resist.

I see in the poll, so far 'Mine' is in the lead as people's favorites. This is good to hear, considering all of the above. I hope that means that people will read the new story. *G*

Book Three, PITD Series
I started this but it's moving slow. I'm excited to finish it but the excitement is not as urgent as it is to keep developing the other story. But have no fear, little by little it will get done. I just have know idea when it will get completed.

Side Note...
I've added another item on the side board of the blog. I got an email from a dear friend who said she wanted to post but wasn't sure how. I posted some quick instructions on the side on how to do that.

The Wolf and The Dove

2008-01-11T05:29:00.000-08:00

I'm re-reading The Wolf and The Dove by Kathleen Woodiwiss. I haven't read this book in SO long yet it doesn't matter. The moment I pick it up and start reading it again, little by little everything comes back to me and I remember the story as if I just read it yesterday. Isn't that the way a good story should be?

This book and Shanna are two of the first Romance novels I ever read, oh so many years ago, and as I read it now I'm reminded that it was these two books that made me want to write. To create a story that just sucks you in and throws you into another world, another place and time, and make you feel like you were on this incredible journey through history.

Anyway, this book holds a very special place in my heart. There is just something about the characters of Wulfgar and Aislinn. Two strong, prideful people testing each other, slowly falling in love and realizing what the other means to them and all that they would do for the other. It's an amazing journey, that at times can be frustrating, when their pride becomes too much and gets in the way of them getting together like you want them too. But it doesn't matter because the struggle and the long haul to the final destination is all worth it. They appear stronger, their love more destined and forever.

It can at times be a bit slow in the reading. Kathleen Woodiwiss is tremendous with details she really puts you in the story. At the same time it can be a bit much and make the reading feel slow but nevertheless if you stay with it it's all worth it because in the end what you have is a masterpiece. A saga of true human emotions in a time of war between two struggling nations.

It's a long one too, over 700 pages, but if you're up for it - read it. If you enjoy a romance novel steeped in history, then this book will definitely fill the bill.

The First Blog!

2008-01-09T09:59:00.001-08:00

Well here I am, opening another freaking blog/journal, that you're thinking will never get updated - like my LJ - BUT that is not the case. I want to really concentrate on writing this year so I wanted to use this blog strictly for that, unlike LJ where I tend to ramble on about anything. So this blog is all about writing.

You will find my B/A fictions here, and I've also been wanting to take the plunge into some original works as well so when I do they will also be posted here too. You will also find blogs about current books I'm reading or obsessing over. Stories that I just have to yap about because they affected me so much.

Speaking of Original Works. I have an idea for an original story which comes from one of my B/A stories.

The Story? Mine: Here, There, Anywhere.

The Plot? This original work would evolve around Buffy and Angelus' children. They would all be original characters, with Mom and Dad popping up at some point of course *wink*. The main character is their one and only daughter, the youngest of their seven children - whom I do not have a name for yet - and a Russian Vampire named Nikoli.

That's all I have right now but of course it's a romance/adult fiction, so you can rest assured that there will be plenty of that. She will also have to deal with her six older over protective brothers, who are just like their father. It should be fun and I'm looking forward to starting it. When I do, it will get posted here and I hope that you will give it a try and read it, and give me your opinions on it as well.

So that's my first blog, for now *wink*. I am still writing Book Three, so have no worries about that. I also have another B/A story in the works as well.

Now I would absolutely love to hear your thoughts on reading original works. So please, please, please post a comment. This blog is open to one and all and I hope that you will use it to discuss anything that has to do with any of my stories. Or if you wanted to know what I'm up to or ask a question, whatever, it's up to you!

I've created this blog as much for you the readers as for myself, as a more direct line to me, so don't be shy - you got a question? ask it!
