Okay, here starts the second book of Rene. Currently there are 16 chapters, three are completed, three are in revision, and three are in process. This part of her life is her learning about sex and how she can put her chosen profession into perspective. Book 3 will probably not be written fully as it will be about her "dates". I have them all planned out but not sure I want to invest in the time to write them, though there are a few of them that I am thinking would be interesting. Book 4 is the aftermath. This will be a very dark story, not very long, and nothing like anything I have ever written. So it will be a challenge. But, I need to finish Anthem book II before I can finish Rene's story as she will be part of the end of Anthem 2 and a character moving forward.

I just uploaded a new story, the first chapter, of what I believe to be 8, it depends on the journey that I take the two of them on. I am breaking my rule of posting a completed story and not a series, it seems that I am finding that I hit a wall when writing a story, and that it might be best to post what I have when a chapter is completed.

That said, I will be posting several in-progress stories in the coming weeks, the continuing story of Henry & Cindy, Anthem Book II, the DINKS, Book 2 of the Prerogative series, and a yet to be named story tentatively called Pregnant Pause.

I just posted a new story in the Anthem universe called Best of You (yeah Foo Fighters) and is the story of Henry and Cindy. I started writing it after Anthem was completed but put it aside after completing the first six chapters, thinking back on it I am not sure why I stopped. In any case I finished it and here it is. It is a complete story but if there are enough responses there is room for more. Hopefully you'll enjoy it, and of course as always please let me know what you think.

Okay. the new story was posted last night. First response I received, Rene is a guys name, Renee is a girls name. Oh well, at some point I will make the change and repost the story.

So, its not about a dude named Rene. Shit! Pardon my French!

The Story of Renee is going to cover five to six years of her life and will be broken into four stories. The second story is going to cover a small amount of time but large in size, in excess of 90k words. So I am going to change my approach on posting incomplete stories. With the second chapter being as large as it is I will post it in smaller sections, about a month per post in story time. I have two months written in draft, still needs to be edited, the third month is in progress, and the remainder is completed in an outline but I have not started.

The third story will be about her adventures through the ensuing four years. It is not relevant to the core of the story, and I will probably not write everything that I have outlined, when I post the next series I will go into more detail why that is. The last story will be the culmination of her college career and a brief look into her future.

This series is written in the Anthem Universe. Renee will be an important character in the Anthem series, Book III specifically, and though she will not be a main character, she will be integral to Alex.

That's about it. I have been able to put a few words together that don't suck so, hopefully I'll have Henry & Cindy ready soon.

Its been a while, sorry, but real life came crashing in and took up all my free time. Things just got f'ed up and I'll leave it at that. I did try, when I found time, to write, but I found no satisfaction in it. When I was able to put some time together to write it ended up being more of a chore, and it was reflected in what I wrote. After a while I gave up writing any new material and focused on going back to salvage what I had written, the ideas were good, but it was the execution that was the problem. But even then I just couldn't bring it all together. So, those stories I started have have been set aside. For now. I am moving back to a couple of older ones in the hope that it gets me back on track.

So, what's next? Outside of the writing I will be doing some cleanup of the stories I have posted. First, I am going to create a Universe and place related stories into it, specifically, Anthem, The World I Know, The Door Upon Which I Knock, and Hallelujah. Why these stories? Anthem is an easy one, it is the central story that links everything together. "The World I Know" is about Stevie the bully, "Hallelujah" Dr. Manger will have a major impact on Henry from Anthem, and Kirk Cummings is tied to Allie, and "The Door Upon Which I knock" Valerie is going to have major interaction with Alex in a future Anthem story line.

What I have in the works are a couple of stories, the first is about Henry and Cindy and is close to being completed. The second story is about Zahn from The World I Know and is about a third of the way completed. There are several others but nothing really close. In the next week or so I'll be posting a couple stories I have been holding onto, one is a standalone story and the other is the first story in a new series.

Hopefully this will get me motivated to begin writing again.
