Banadin: Blog

As a mea culpa to the many readers who pointed out that Chapters 19 and 20 were the same I have posted two more today. 20 has been corrected and here are 21 and 22. Thank you all for pointing this out. I found the error was skipping from Chapter 18 to 20 in the original manuscript.

I am receiving at least one email a day asking when Tenth Grade will start posting. It will be awhile. I have five chapters to write yet on Ever and Always for a total of 47 chapters. It will be early March before they finish posting.
I hope to have E&A finished before the new year. That will give me two months to start Tenth grade and build a buffer.

I know this isn't what those that care wanted to hear, but that is the way it is. Writing is a hobby at this time, though I'm trying to improve. In the real world I am a quality auditor and have spent this fall climbing around aircraft carriers, major auto assembly plants, ore processing facilities and medical device manufacturers. Not bad for a 71 year old, but I don't have much left in me at the end of many days.

I wish all of you the best in the upcoming Holidays.

Today is the first posting of a new story. It is not to be confused with Ninth Grade. This is more of a drama. Imagine waking up in an indigent rest home with no resources, no one left alive that cares, then realizing not only are you awake and alert but growing healthier to the point of appearing to be younger. This is the story of Rick and Marsha. And no it is not Rick of Ninth Grade.


It is set in the near future but the only science fiction is things like your car sending you an email that its oil needs changed, oh yeah it is self driving, so it is going into town by itself unless you need a ride. I hope you enjoy the ride.

Very poor reasons I put together Chapter 40 in haste. Something about missing a flight. Anyway one kind reader pointed out that I had missed a few stories that I had my hero read along the way. About 19 of them. (Hang my head in shame).
So if felt left hanging about a story it is my fault and
Thanks Peter B.
P.S. I just remembered one I picked up as missed, then forgot to correct. Shadows on the wall of a cave is from the The Republic by Plato. But everyone knows that old tale.

Ninth grade is now finished with Chapter 40 listing all the novels referenced as nighttime reading.
I will be finishing, editing then posting another story, Ever and Always.

When that is complete I will be writing Tenth grade. I have learned a lot about writing as my first attempt was in progress. I hope to build from there.
Thank you for all the kind comments, even the corrections were nicely presented. Thanks again. Ed
