FozzieBare: Blog

A couple people asked what my writing backlog was like, so this is the update on each story's status:

Finished Stories:

First Times: Going to be reposting this with some spelling/grammar changes and fixes in the upcoming week.

Writer's Block: An A-Muse-ing tale: Going to leave this the way it is.

It's My Party: Probably going to be reposted with formatting and grammar fixes.

What Remains When They're Gone?: Complete.

Stories In Progress:

Rogue's Rules - A Certain Roguish Charm: This will be a complete story in what I hope will be a series of stories. No promises, but I've come up with all kinds of trouble for our "hero" to get into. He might actually even become a hero.

Chapter two has been sent out to my pre-readers, so expect that probably mid-week or by the end of the week. Aiming for weekly updates

Free Trader Mary's Dream: Chapter two about 50% written, hope to send out to pre-readers/editors by the end of the week. Also scheduled to be a weekly update.

One-on-One: This one is unfortunately on the back burner. I haven't stopped working on it, but I have to make sure I can do two stories before trying to go to three.

Anyway, thanks for reading, writing, and commenting on my stories.

I have added a new story to the queue, it's called "Rogue's Rules", and it's about one Arin Wolf, who is an incorrigible unrepentant Rogue. Every lesson he's ever learned in life gets added to his Rogue's Rulebook. Some deal with his chosen profession. Some deal with the Gods and Rulers of the Eight Kingdoms, and some deal with the fact that he may not sometimes love wisely, but probably too well. Can a Rogue get himself out of the trouble he's about to get himself into? It's going to be fun finding out.

I'm working on Chapter 2 as we speak, I hope to have something for any pre-readers by mid-week.

I'm also reposted and will be updating Free Trader Mary's Dream, a story I started a LONG time ago. The next chapter should be ready for pre-readers by the end of the week.

Speaking of pre-readers.. you want to be one? Let me know. I don't mind Mail or comments on what you like or don't like about my stories.

Other stories are on the backburner for right now, but don't be surprised if you see more coming soon!

is your feedback and comments on the stories we write. I'm very glad that "What Remains" has touched some of you who come from a similar place of sorrow and pain.

Rating my stories is important, mind you (I'm still wondering why the person who gave me a 2, when everything else is 7+ didn't write and tell me what they didn't like...).. but if you want to really feed this author's muse, it's also comments about sections of the stories of you liked, or could use work.

I had one of my readers tell me, for example, that they loved Kaitlyn from my story "First Times.." and that they had wished they had a Kaitlyn in their own lives. That meant so very much.

The muse has been .. well, she's been going her own way for a while. I have written in other fields, but the stories just weren't coming. Today, I return. I'm just hoping that the muse continues to visit, and I will continue writing.

Hey Folks. I've just added chapter one of a new serial, Free Trader "Mary's Dream .. For those of you still waiting on the next chapter of One-On-One.. look for it this weekend!

I'm always glad for comments.. good bad or indifferent, it tells me you're reading! :D
