Like most of my generation we, the Significant Other and I are getting up in years, and the accumulating wear and tear is catching up with us. Life happens. We just react slow to the changes.
About that story, I'm closer to completion. Had to do some heavy editing to a chapter around those pesky doctor visits, blood draws and minor procedures. I won't promise when it will get posted, several chapters still need editing and continuity checks.
It will be a California Pick-Up story from a week or two after the Mega Pickup detailed in "Buying Wholesale" by Thinking Horndog and "A Day At The Fair" by Baron Rod and just before the events of "Shooting Star" by akarge. Just in case you're keeping track.
If you haven't read those I most hardily recommend them, but they aren't necessary for the enjoyment of the story.
Thanks for your patience. I know my fellow Swarm Authors are keeping you entertained. Hope to hear from you soon.
Everyone take a deep breath and relax. As of late 6/23 or early 6/24, Lazeez has decided to cancel the proposed ratings change, per his: "Update 2: Since most replies were negative, I cancelled the change."
So ratings will soon be back where they were.
SOL tracks numbers for us authors. Things like scores, readership, both for individual stories and blogs and how many folks hit my site. These are all (usually) cumulative since my first posting. It's up to the author to do the math if the author want like weekly or monthly readership or visits to the site.
So for you 40 faithfuls thar stop by every week I've news. I working on the final chapter of the prequel to my "Battle of the Ridge". Once I finish working it, the story goes to the editors and Canon Keeper of the Swarm Cycle, I get rid of the red ink, make it pretty for the Submission Wizard and it gets posted.
Teaser; It is a ... Pickup Story! I know, it is so old school! But, it introduces the characters that gonna show up it several more story. Right now the Pickup is about 25K words.
As I've said previously, before the end of the month. And btw for you folks in the deep south of the Left Coast, for the first week of July I'm planning on being at WesterCon 68 in San Diego. You can't miss me I'm the scruffy D.O.M. in the dark corner.
If you're already planning on being there drop me a line.
Really! I'd hoped to have already posted the first chapter of my new Swarm Cycle story. However, Real Life has been dealing from the bottom of the deck this year.
Yesterday my very Significant Other (Yes, I have one, not all of my females are fantasies) had Out-Patient Arthroscopic Knee Surgery. She managed the tear both lateral meniscusi back in December. We were at the hospital from too early in the morning 'til late afternoon.
For the last two months I've been doing primary home nursing 24 hours a day. My writing time has been distracted and limited. I want to finish the last chapter before I post so that you readers don't get left dangling for weeks for the final chapter of this story.
Be patient, I will get there and when do I'll be posting three (3) times a week for about a month. I hope you'll enjoy it.
Teaser: It a distant prequel to the Swarm Cycle story "Battle of the Ridge"
Happy New Year!! May this New Year be better than the last!
The last one was Interesting but in a mixed fashion. As a result of chaotic events in the last couple quarters of the year I was unable to finish the promised (threatened) Swarm Story. Hopefully finished before spring.
Thankfully a couple of the group's authors are grumpily encouraging me. (Thanks Zen Master, TomKen!)
Have fun, folks!
