Writer Mick: Blog

Hi All

I did a redo on another story earlier this month and forgot to post it.

"Another Dark And Stormy Night" is the story and boy did I catch hell when the first few chapters came out. The comments were mostly, "You Suck!' and "When is something going to happen?"

BurkaOz wrote a good review and I encourage you to check that out.

I'm very happy with the story. It is also one of my all-time favorites. I don't see the sense in redoing a story I didn't like. I'm actually thinking of culling the herd and deleting some of the stories that I posted just because I could.

Please give it a read and perhaps you'll change the low score you gave it when you first read a few chapters and then bailed out.

Thanks

Mick

Hi All

I've found that in the process of writing the last chapters of Book 4 The Strawberry Patch, when my muse gets bored or distracted she fires back up when I look to redo past stories.

In the past three years my skills as a writer have grown to the point that I can see glaring deficiencies in my early stories. So when Muse Baby takes a break on a current effort, I jump on a past one and fix it so it read like it wasn't written by Grog. You know Grog. Me Grog. Me rit. Me no need speel chek or emditr.

Yeah, him.

The latest redo is one of my favorite stories, "Another Dark and Stormy Night". I love this one and now it doesn't hurt me to read it again!

I hope you enjoy it if it's a first time and even more if it's a second read.

Hi All

I paid a little attention to the folks who read this story, "Surprise!", and upon reading it, they were correct. The darn thing was hard to follow. So I redid it and now it should flow more clearly.

Thanks for the suggestions, even the "You Suck" from all those non-writers who could do better but they just don't have the time.

Love you!

Mick

Hi All

Thank you so much to those of you who voted for my stories in the 2022 Clitorides Awards. You inspire me to suck so much less! Thank you again!

Hi All

Well I've managed to fix some more of my older, poorly written or conceived stories.

"A Very Good Vintage" is a quirky Sci-Fi story.

"In Or Out" a bit of an open ended cheaters story.

"Breaking The Rules" a consenting adults quirky tale.

I like them all a lot more now. Maybe you will as well.

And who knows, perhaps my muse will stop carousing in the lovely Spring weather her in NE Oklahoma and let me get back to work on the new stories.
