Ink Raindrops

Greetings, citizens!  On this day I felt it was pivotal to bring to you the story of Miss Candy Heart.  She has captivated my mind as a writer, and I want nothing more than to share her tale with the world.  In light of this, you will have to wait to read Way of the Dragon indefinitely*.  I’m sure that you won’t mind.  After all, Miss Heart’s tale is simply enchanting and should more than occupy your attention for the remainder of your lives.  After all, it is a story of happiness, with excellent morals and suitable for children of all ages.  Please enjoy!  (Oh who am I kidding.  I know you will!)

*I will post the promised updates tomorrow.  Don’t look at me like that.

As in, no dice roll needed this month.  I guess I’m going to have to figure out where WotD is going for real now!  I hope I can do it justice after as many years as it has been percolating in the “unfinished” bin.  I’ll be very surprised if there’s not a slight change in tone or voice just due to my growth as a writer since I wrote that chapter, but I don’t want to turn it into something more complicated than it needs to be, either.

Thanks so much for your votes.  I see a few extra this month and I hope you’ll all stick around for the future!  I’m not in this for the publicity first and foremost (this is to keep me busy during months that are not November!) but the more readers I get, the better the system works, and the more I feel like it’s not just my husband and a very small contingent of personal friends telling me what I ought to do.    I know these things take time, and that’s great, but every little bit counts as far as I’m concerned!

Let’s see what I can accomplish in getting WotD moving.  Meet me back here in a little more than a week!

Not much to wax poetic about this month, folks.  I’ve got a new chapter of The End for you, as promised, and I am going to (in the next few minutes) post my NaNoWriMo PDF at long last.  So far only one person out of my original reader set has commented, but his consensus leads me to believe in some small way that perhaps, indeed, I have some hope of being a decent writer.    Let’s hope you all agree!

I am thinking of ways to improve traffic here, in order to get this blog out to the masses.  If you can think of anything that isn’t too obtrusive or frustrating for readers, please do let me know and I’ll consider it.  I’m not ready to shell out a ton of funds trying to get attention, but small avenues have to be available that I haven’t thought of yet.

That’s all, folks!  I’ll see you on March 20th!

OK, so the post is a few days late – thanks to a broken little toe, I was trying to enjoy my weekend by getting out and seeing some of the world, albeit slowly.  Why is it that I seem to be injured every time I update?  Maybe the 20th of each month is a bad omen…  Whatever the case, the poll favors The End this time around, so that’s what I’ll plan to have for you all on March 1st.  I’ll even make sure to post the PDF for my National Novel Writing Month novel, since it has made the rounds and everyone’s accounted for now.  See you in… uh-oh.  I’ve got fewer days thanks to you, February!  I’ll see you in 5 days, then…

Despite a minor pulled muscle, I’m here with updates – and several more than just the promised one!

Before you get too excited, I should be honest; the additional content beyond Liar’s Dice is a standalone and not a new continuing story.  Blank Slate is the remnants of a fictional blog I created for a character that I played in the now-defunct NCSoft MMORPG Tabula Rasa.  I really enjoyed their interest in and devotion to fan writers, as they actively encouraged such participation in their community, and hosted their own fanfiction section for writings such as this.  I only submitted “Here There Be Angels” due to the length of the other two, but it was accepted and posted with all the other TR writings for the length of its life.  In memory of a great game that had so much potential, I wanted to post these, and share my hope that other games in the future will be as inspiring and welcoming to those that live by the pen.  Of course, an information page will be forthcoming sometime today.

I’ll see you again on the 20th.  It’s good to be back in the saddle.
