'Cause if I was perfect, I'd have just made my first mistake.
There was a mixup in the order of posting chapters in 'The Fuck You Announcement'
Chapter 14 as originally posted was really supposed to be posted as 16, after 15 and..... Oh the hell with it.
A NEW (to you, readers) Chapter 14 is now submitted and 14, 15 and the new chapter 16 (which you've seen before as the OLD 14). SO, if you want to see what you missed in the right order, check out chapter 14 after it is posted.
Then you can (re)read chapter 15 if you like. And 16 will be (re)posted in the correct sequence. And just for kicks, I'll be submiting chapter 17. If I can manage all that, THEN I'll be perfect.
I apologize for today's very short chapter. Sorry.
I got hooked on watching a movie, and when it was done, I wrote an even shorter short story. "The Window" which is posted today.
I've tried, really I have. I start out with a simple idea. A Burn the Bitch story among some well-to-do folks in Atlanta. It would be 3, maybe 4, chapters.
When I'm done writing it's 19 chapters long. I admit it got away from me. A tad bit of personal fantasy [ahem] and then the characters got into the act: wanting to tell their own story. Darn them.
And of course, it's a Harry Carton story, so nothing is simple.
Anyway, it's coming out Saturday morning DAT [Daylight Author's Time -- meaning whatever time I wake up]. I'll post one chapter every day for 19 days straight.
Look for 'The Fuck You Announcement.'
I've just posted a story on Bookapy. It's SHAKESPEARE. I picked it because it relatively short (51,500 words), and it didn't need much reediting although there were some changes in the story.
If you want to see it again, here's what I said about it at the time (2015):
"A sci-fi story about a character that comes to be called Shakespeare, because he is The Bard of his people. This tale chronicles his people's interaction with a strange group of aliens who call themselves 'humans.'"
It's going behind the paywall on 15 August.
I got a fair amount of messages in April 2021 saying: "I like the premise of Lexi Redux, and I like Time Travel and Do-Overs... BUT I've seen quite a few stories that started out, and never got finished. I'll just wait 'til you're finished."
Well, you can stop waiting. As of Wednesday, July 20, the final few chapters of Lexi Redux will be posted.
Yes, that's right. It's 'THE END' of this saga. A mere 19 months after I started.
You can start at Part 1 Chapter 1 and read it all now. 🤩
Thanks to the reedurs who encouraged me along the way and found the errorz I (intentionally -ahem-) left for them to find.
And thanks to my editor B4Lurker, who found the other errorz I left for HIM to find. 😜
