VeryWellAged: Blog

This site selects one of my stories to represent to readers. I appreciate it. I can see the jump in the number who select to read the story. It also tends to encourage those who likes the story to read other stories I have here on this site. It is a simple fact that due to three issues, none of my work in the last ten years appears here. The most important has to do with the laws this site must adhere to, which bans any new material with females under a specific age. My stories tend to violate that rule. However there are formatting issues. In my later works (and reissued previous works) I use: footnotes; color; links to source material and other content; font and margin changes within the text. As such my later works do not appear here and two works that do appear here are radically different on my eponymously named site, VeryWellAged.

Just a note to mention that , yesterday, I posted my latest novel on my own site as this site is unable due to regulatory and format reasons to support my efforts.

On this February 5, a reader of my efforts told me one of my early works published here "was the random story this evening." I looked at the activity panel an author can see, of the number of times a work has been downloaded. Clearly the numbers reading that 'random story' had jumped. Since them it appears that the interest in all of my works published here has been invigorated. And, yes, it is flattering.

It is also a fair bit frustrating. You see, it has been over ten years since I stopped posting new work here. A Canadian law required the very decent, honest, and capable webmaster to tell me to either write something that fit the new guidelines or just to stop posting.

I kept on writing, initially posting my newer works on the old ASSTR site while it still functioned and then, finally, on my own, eponymously titled, website.

I am still writing and posting there. Even the stories, which you can read here are there. Most of those have been, updated, corrected and enhanced. The entire body of my work is there. Only a little from the early days are what exists here. And so, you see, possibly, the frustration. My works as you read them here as not as how I wish them to be read.

I am pleased to announce the release of my novel Plan. It can be found on my website, VeryWellAged.com, at the bottom of my list of works in print.

A friend (who has yet to provide me with his penname and so for now he will be anonymous) is working on writing his own stories, ones that bring a perspective I don't have and find fascinating. He asked a question to which I was sure I knew the answer, but he thinks I may be wrong. As I have been wrong often enough in this life, we have decided to conduct a poll. He and I invite all of you to vote on the questions linked to in my NOTES page on my VeryWellAged dot com website.
