Yup, I've managed it, another chapter of the Wunderkind story is up here.

Keeping on a Gaby theme, I've started scribbling on the series again, my editor received 4 new chapters this morning! There is a remote chance i'll have the current arc complete for Wednesday.

To my computer woes - thank you everyone who offered help and support, things are kind of sorted and i'l be taking much more precaution in future!

So ttfn, ciao and tschuss

I am totally staggered by the response to my last story.

130 kudos!

That's amazing!

A day of extremes here in Yorkshire.

The positive - I'd been stressing over my income to cover the next month for a few days and a visit to the bank this morning cheered me up no end. There's enough to get me through the month if i'm careful and don't go mad eating or buying stuff. Why is this month tight? Well the trip to Austria pretty much used up every penny I had then a follow up of trips to London and next week's trip to Germany have ensured things remain very tight. After next week though I get a few weeks to consolidate things so things will become easier.

Some years ago I was running a tabletop RPG in which my players were exploring an underground ocean. They had their own ship and were attacked by another ship. The crew of the pirate ship seemed to be made up of human-sized spiders carrying cutlasses and firing muskets. Except some of them seemed to come out of nowhere and attack with nunchuks, sais and shurikens. And some of them seemed to be undead and unkillable.

During the course of the battle one of the players said, "Wait, wait! Stop! We're fighting Zombie, Ninja, Pirate Spiders?"

Lets start with this weeks Gaby chapter - now available here!

I am finally posting Chapter 13 of Mother's Child. Family issues, illnesses, surgeries, work and a death in the family all helped to delay it.

Finally I got ready to publish this chapter a month or two ago and it had been so long, what with being ill and all since I had started it; I went back to the beginning and re-read everything from chapter 1. I discovered this chapter reallllly stank. I threw almost all of this chapter out and started over.

Here I hope is a worthy chapter. Enjoy, and let me know if you see problems and I will try to fix them.

I'm looking for a story.

Interdimensional monsters have attacked the earth. The main character is an orphaned boy attends a school that trains those who gained powers after the invasion. Four powers each tied to the four elements. The main character ends up mastering all four powers.

On Saturday my course begins and I'm going on on holiday the next day - clever planning that - c'est la vie. The thing is, I've invested quite a bit of money in the course, a degree in Environmental Science, which is going to keep me a bit busy for the next six years. I'm hoping I'll still be able to write some Bikesodes, but obviously nowhere near as many as you have had in the past. I'm still working part time and that has got very busy as well, so life isn't easy at present - and the dormouse stuff I do in real life is also quite busy.

For the last few weeks I've been dealing with some crazy stuff. First I got into a car crash and was in a coma for 3 days from what I've been told. I've since recovered and am at home. Secondly, for those of you wondering where the hell is Broken Phoenix, i'll get to that later in the post.

Thirdly, I lost my great Grandma the day before my car wreck and even though I'm trying to put that behind me it's hard losing someone who was so close to you for most of your life.

Fourthly, I am getting married next May!

Now for the part that really irks me.

I'm looking for a female Drow Warrior picture where she is clad fairly decently and not copyrighted to use as my avatar in various places. I thought I was Ferie but it seems clear now that I'm not that nice.

Frederick Forsyth to stop writing thrillers

Just posted the final chapter to Marti and the Doppelganger. TISSUE ALERT!

Hi
There's anew chapter here, be prepared as we start a short cycle of hanky chapters.

More Wednesday

Mads

Well here it is, a new Gaby chapter!

Hopefully you will get another on Sunday.

In the meantime I've a lot of writing to catch up on or i'll be dusting off the begging bowl!

I regret, once again, that there will be a delay before the next chapter of What Milsy Did is posted.

As I'm going to be away all next week it might not appear until the end of the month.

Wasn't sure where I should post this but for those who are interested in writing their own stories to my "Gentlemen's Bar" series, here are the guidelines to "The Gentlemen's Bar"

Okay, the call goes out again from me for a beta/proof reader for another Bobby/Mel story line. Be aware that there is one section that I'm still working on but I would like both:

a. The persons thoughts, opinion on where the story went and how it read.
b. Obvious errors, but be aware there are some places that I'm sure I need to place the dreaded comma's and so forth.
c. What went right and what went wrong.

I looked for "Being Christina Chase" tonight and both the story and Captain Crunch as an author are gone. I am sorry to see that. I was getting ready to read it again.

Gwen

Sorry folks got a bit distracted tonight, will try and do one tomorrow.

I have just posted a new story that will appear in 12 installments. Foolishly, I left a number of things unresolved. So I might have to write about them in the future. One of my reasons for writing this new addition to The Cynthia Chronicles was to try to get more readers interested in what I felt was an overlooked story, Simoné and the Second Time Around. The new story answers several unanswered questions from several stories in the series. I hope you enjoy it.

..I don't know what.

About 3 1/2 months ago, I posted about why I hate Angharad.

My reasoning was sound. I am fairly busy. I have tons of stories left unread. Several left unwritten and/or unfinished. I was looking at Bike, and wondering two things.

How can I ever catch up when she has 3000+ chapters completed and is cranking them out daily?

How can anyone maintain this level of writing for such a long span of time?

Edit: The story can be read HERE, the title is Purgatory: ReLife.

Saw this one the other day, which made me smile.

The author (one of those that strikes me as being one who seems to try to use big words a bit too often in order to be impressive, without necessarily understanding the required word) wanted to write 'commensurate'.

As in something like: "The starting salary will be commensurate with age and experience."

Unfortunately, (s)he chose to write, using the above example: "The starting salary will be commiserate with age and experience."

I suppose you could say I feel sorry for him/her - *grins*.

Like to keep abreast of things and I may have mentioned doing a little bike ride today.

Well I finished, which is more than over 1000 managed, even if my 13 hours is 6 full hours slower than the winner!
