Not sure what's going on, but this is the second crash I've had in a month. The errors b/w the two crashes were completely different, but I suspect that my main HDD may be on the way out. I've only been using it for about 8 years now.

Thankfully, all my story stuff was backed up to Google drive, so no loss.

And now, back to writing...

--==( Sibling Magus )==--
Another weekened already??? Wow! This week has flown by. But then, I've been busy. Working on Chapter 30!

I've just submitted chapter 30 for posting in Sibling Magus, and I'm not slowing down any. I'm not planning to post a chapter a week, but a chapter every few days. The outline for the remainder of Sibling Magus has been worked out and we're looking at the last 9 chapters or so. Yet, while the end is drawing close, that also means things are getting stirred up. So, hang on!

--==( Clitoris Awards )==--
Not sure how many of you kept up with the awards. Child Magus made the nominations for Best Erotic Fantasy. Further, Child Magus placed third in the same category! Thank you for your votes and support!

--==( Internet Access )==--
Monday is the deadline. I've gotten a few donations so far, but I'm only halfway there. Help me stay online via paypal (technicdragon@gmail.com).

Thank you!

By no means is this the end of the series. I've put a lot of effort into creating a world that could run the gamut of a dozen books or more. Like I said, while we're closing in on the end of this story, things are really only just getting stirred up.

Okay, maybe I didn't say it that way exactly...

I've submitted chapters 28 and 29 for posting. A little more fun and frustration for Seth.

I know it doesn't seem like it, but the internet has come due again. I'm currently about a month behind and owe $140.28. Any donations are welcome via paypal (technicdragon@gmail.com)

Ch 29 revision 1 is with the editors, and I'm having LOADS of fun fighting for every breath with a massive asthma attack - my inhaler is out and no prescription...
may end up calling 911...

hope everyone else is having a good weekend...

Edit: Emergency taken care of. It's a scary thought, feeling like you're about to pass out and not even sure you'll wake back up.

Between being sick and struggling with bills because the only vehicle we have broke down for almost a week, I've not gotten much done.

I know the two issues don't seem like much, but the cost of getting the part for the truck was well over $200.00. Fortunately, my brother is a fairly good auto mechanic, and was a big help explaining what we had to do to replace the part. It only took me and a friend two days to do the work. :P But the money, that hit us hard. My sister put in a lot of extra hours at work to help make up the difference - which meant I have been watching her kids a lot more than usual - and the utilities had to be juggled too, but we've made it through.

Being sick sucks. Dunno if I've mentioned that before. I'm just getting over some kind of spring flu (soar throat, fever, light body aches). It kept me in bed for three days.

Now, on top of it all, I'm having problems with the router Verizon furnished for my internet connection. I've concluded the problem is with the router because it shows it's not connected to the internet one second, and then it's connected again the next. This has been going on for over a week and everything else I've tried has eliminated the possibility of it being the phone jack it's plugged into or my computer. What cinched it for me tonight was when I went to reset the box (turn it off, unplug the connection to the phone box, wait a min, reconnect the phone cord, turn it back on) I found the box it had been sitting on was wet. The problem is, the phone cord can't be more than 6 feet long (according to Verizon). So, that keeps it near a window on the south side of the house which is cracked open so an antennae cable can feed the TV. We don't have any form of cable TV, just the converter box for digital transmissions. The router sat on a small box on the seat of the window - possibly close enough to the quarter-inch crack to get moist if not wet. I didn't think the rain we've had recently would affect the router, but I can't find any other reason for the problem. I hung the box on the wall via the slots on the bottom of the box and for the most part, that seems to help, but occasionally the connection drops again. I may be looking at having to ask Verizon to send us another box, and with me being a month behind on the payments (I only got about $90 last month from donations), I'm not sure what they'll say.

On the good side, I've finished ch 28 (been through the editors' screening and all) and am about half-way through ch 29. 28 isn't much of a chapter on it's own, so I'll wait until 29 has been edited and post them together.

Just thought I'd offer an update since it's been so ling since I posted last. :(
