I was ready to work on a couple of stories this week, but my plans got derailed on Monday morning. I was out for a walk with a friend when something happened. I didn't black out, but I got very dizzy and faceplanted on a sidewalk. Okay, not quite a faceplant, my hands and arms stopped that from happening. I didn't break anything, but I strained both wrists and thumbs. BTW, it's hard to type with very sore thumbs. My hands are almost back to normal, but I also bruised some ribs, and that's taking longer to heal.

The worst part of the experience was that it scared the crap out of me. I've never had anything like this happen to me. Okay, full disclosure: I will be 81 next week, but until now I've never felt like a "senior citizen"; now I do, and I hate it.

Anyway, between recovering and watching the Olympics, I haven't got any writing done lately. Maybe next week. I really do need to finish "Cassie".

Posted the third and last chapter of this story today, and yes, it's all about Vera. Enjoy.

For reasons I don't fully understand, I was in too much of a hurry to post this one. I looked it over again yesterday and saw that it was riddled with errors, mostly the miskeying kind. I've been properly punished for my haste with some lousy ratings. I went through it again this morning, corrected all the errors I could find, and reposted it. If you've already read it, don't bother reading it again. Nothing really changed in the plot or characters; I just did it to make myself look less like an idiot to future readers.

After I posted the first chapter of "... Football Hero" I noticed that I had changed the name of the high school part of the way through it. It didn't seem worth fixing at the time, but now that I'm writing the third chapter and I want to mention the school's name again, I decided to fix my error. So, yesterday I reposted the first chapter with 1(!) word changed. I guess it was worth it. I did sleep better last night.

I thought this was going to be the end of my Cassie tale, but I just can't quit her. One more (at least) coming.
