I'd love to make an audio version of the "opera" part of my story "The Courtship Gift" - reading the lyrics, not singing. :)
There are five parts to read, 3 female, 2 male - I may already have two readers for the male parts, but none yet for the female ones. Should you be willing to read one of the parts (male or female), please contact me - thank you! (Be warned about the text, though...)
Yes, I can see, you do not like my stories, especially not the way they end. I got some positive feedback during the first few chapters of "The Island" -- thank you! -- but only one message after it had ended: "it is a cop-out. did you just run out of ideas."
Seriously, I can't blame you. No, I did not run out of ideas -- this end was what I wrote that story for -- but you have my sympathy: you come here to read, wishing to be entertained, but I do not write to entertain. Understandably, you are vexed, you are put off by the darkness in my stories. I do not write for the purpose of vexing you or to putting you off, this is just a by-product of my writing for which I apologize. Rather than change my ways of writing, though, I'll live with the consequences. If you see this blog entry before reading my stories, be warned. Really, I'm a nice person, I don't want you to be disappointed, bewildered or confused. Stay clear. Otherwise... well, you'll see...
Yesterday I've received my first feedback mail!
"touching somehow."
Short, but I take it as a huge compliment - what more can an author aspire to, after all, than to touch his or her readers? (Disregarding wealth and fame, for the moment.)
Many thanks to my unknown reader for his or her kind words! (And more feedback, good or bad, is always welcome, of course...)
