Scheduling options

Submitted by on

I recently had a problem when I posted a chapter of my story on 7th September for it to appear on the 10th, using the Scheduling options. I did this because I was going to be travelling on 9th & 10th and would not be able to get to a computer on the day I wished it to appear. The story appeared ok but by then many other stories had been posted between the Wednesday and the Saturday and so my chapter never got to appear on the BC front page. As a result it received only about 25% of the hits of the other chapters.

How I became a girly girl
by Louise Anne Smithson

At the age of eighteen I discover that I have a younger half-brother living nearby who has recently suffered from a family tragedy. Since nobody else seems to want to employ me, I go to look after him for the summer, and discover that he is involved in a journey that will ultimately involve me as well. What starts as a simple baby-sitting job turns into a rediscovery of who we both are.

The story is principally set between May and September 2010, in Woodley, a suburb of Reading in Berkshire and the neighbouring town of Bracknell. However, it also involves visits to Nottingham and Bangkok.

Fifteen year old Christopher has to stay with his aunt and three cousins in Shrewsbury for the summer whilst his mother undertakes a business trip to Europe. An unforeseen incident on the train means that he arrives without any luggage or spending money. He must quickly find a job to replace them both. Fortunately the friend of one of his cousins is in urgent need of some waitresses for her business, and Chris and one of his cousins are able to help out. However, life as Emily can get complicated, particularly after she meets someone quite special.

The story is set between July and September 2009, principally in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England, but also with journeys to Birmingham Airport and Sheffield.
