…means editing. And lots of it. And what, pray tell, have I been working on? First, updating drafts for three novels heading your way later this year and next. Also a raft of shorter story updates going elsewhere. And finally assisting some newer writers. Not gonna bore you with all the twists and turns. That’s the kind of detail I post for the loveable die-hards on my Discord server, “The Yards” along with the most current production schedule.
Oh, and I’m slotting further work on the next “The Immortal” compendium for April. Fingers crossed; it’ll be complete by the time I begin posting its first chapters here in August.
Alright, short and sweet this week.
And as always, thanks and big hugs to those of you sharing a kind word or hanging out with me on Discord as I skribble da wirdz.

…lifts all boats. After last week’s post on supporting me and your other favorite writers through purchasing works or providing feedback, I wanted to add another thought:
Writers helping other writers.
Some of us are quite active, reaching out to newer wird-skribblers to offer assistance. If they accept, wonderful. If not, we’ve done our part, and they at least realize there are folks around who can help.
So, new carvers of runes, if you’re about to launch your first story and nobody but you has seen it, you may want to ping some of the fine folks offering their help right here. There’s an “Editors/Reviewers Hangout” forum.
For that matter, many of the best authors are not afraid of asking for fresh eyes. Be kind to each other. It’s a much nicer community than at other puddles scattered around the Interwebz.
Anyway, that’s my food for thought this week.
The Yards have swapped over to editing mode for March. But I’ll leave such sausage-making details for my Discord channel.
Hugs
Ivey.
Greetings all.
While I treasure positive comments and constructive feedback, many devoted readers have again begun inquiring about ways to support my writing. Over the years, I’ve tried several funding platforms, but always felt obligated to provide additional content behind such gates to reward those folks. However, that methodology never sat well with me. Hence the flurry of shorts now available on SOL and Bookapy.
At the end of the day, the best method of providing financial support is to purchase my work. While they may also be available elsewhere, most everything will be on Bookapy. Bonus, you’ll also be supporting this and the associated sites.
Okay, enough of that. Kind words remain a great way of showing your appreciation. However, if you’re a believer in scoring stories, go ahead and pick a number as well. After all, the higher the score, the more visibility stories get in the Grand Algorithm of All Things.
Meanwhile, The Yards are clanking away on a coming-of-age story. Free-wheeling and written from a male POV, it’s much more in the vein of “A Fair Trade.” Once it’s complete, I’m back to editing, I promise. Stupid muses.
Keep warm and stay safe.
Hugs
Ivey
Hope you all had some quality snuggle time.
Still having mine, so I’ll keep this short and sweet. Thank you for all the support. As those who check my Discord know, many more stories are coming.
Hugs.
Ivey.
“A Fair Trade” and “The Coach’s Wife” are now Premium content. While I know I’m a tiny fish in a large pond, my intent is to encourage more folks to support the site. Perhaps it’s misguided, but I’ve heard no complaints.
Which leaves the remaining chapters of “The Immortal, Volume 1” and “Bad Mommy” as free content. After “Bad Mommy” completes, I’ll begin positing chapters of “Aiden Ascending.” And once Volume 1 ends, Volume 2 should appear. Although there may be a short gap. As I noted last week, it’s slipped in the schedule because fresh story ideas arrived.
Another massive hug and “thank you” to those who’ve been kind enough to purchase my works or provide kind words. You know who you are; I appreciate each and every one of you.
Ivey.
