Hello everyone.
I wrote “A Life Discovered” as an experiment. I had an idea for a story and wanted to see if I could write it down and whether people would enjoy it. But it's now got to the point where it needs some work if I'm going to complete the story the way I want to.
So here's what's happening:
- I've started going back over the already-published chapters and updating them. The characters pretty much do and say the same things in the same scenes, but I think the text now conveys the story better and is easier to read. Right now, updated chapters 1-4 are online. There's no need to go back and reread them to follow the story, but if you want to, I'd be grateful for any additional comments on whether you think they're an improvement.
- I've been trying to stick to one chapter representing one day in the story. But the characters have moved from doing pretty much everything together to doing more things alone or in pairs. That means it takes more words to describe what happens to all of them that day, and the chapters have been growing steadily longer. That also means it takes longer to write them, and so they get published less frequently.
- I’ve written the plot summary for the next three chapters, but I won’t start to flesh them out into full chapters until I’ve either finished updating the existing ones or your feedback tells me that this whole thing’s a bad idea. So there will be a short delay before new work appears.
The aim is to improve the current text, better structure the rest of the story, and switch to shorter, more frequently published future chapters.
As always, thanks for reading my work.

Hello everyone!
Happy St. Patrick's Day to all. I've just submitted Chapter 14 of "A Life Discovered", so should be online soon!
As usual, I'd love it if you could leave comments, and I particularly welcome constructive criticism - it's the only way I know what you think about my writing.
Cheers!

Hello everyone!
Just a quick note to say that Chapter 13 of "A Life Discovered" is now in the final editing stage and will be posted on StoriesOnline.net in a few days, providing no real doozies come up in the editing process. Apologies that it's been over two months since the last chapter, but the festive season plus two weeks spent on the Norwegian coast delayed things. If there's a silver lining, it may be that the chapter's the longest yet and advances the storyline in several different ways.
Thanks for reading my work!

Chapter 12 of A Life Discovered should be out in the next 48 hours or so, once it's had its final run-throughs. This chapter is a bit different from the previous chapters, and quite a bit longer, as it follows our three heroes on their first day apart as they begin their individual lives as young adults. It also introduces some new characters who will be important as the plot develops.
As always, I hope you enjoy it!

Hello everyone!
Chapter 11 of "A Life Discovered" is in final preparation, and I should be able to post it in the next 24 hours, so if you're interested in fantasy-magic-slavery-bondage-polyamory types of stories, stay tuned!
I do try to keep to one longer chapter a month, and this one's been almost two months in the making. I won't give the reasons - they don't matter anyway - but please rest assured that I am going to continue the story and I'll update it as often as I can
Cheers!
