Writer Mick: Blog

Hi All!

Something occurred to me after I received an email from a fellow author. He said that he was a fan and it occurred to me that I had not read his stuff.

I pulled up his highest and lowest rated stories and enjoyed them both. So! If you are an author that has been reading my efforts, I would love to know whop you are, so I can reciprocate.

So far I have read the work of two authors and I'd like to feel that I had a relationship with Xalir after being selected to finish his last story.

Please reply in an email, if you'd care to reply.

Thanks in advance

Mick

Hi All

When I got the edited chapter back from Askepot we both thought that the start of the chapter was awkward.

I posted the edited chapter and then this morning I really stopped to read through the thing slowly and go through it a sentence at a time.

I think I got it fixed. So if you read the chapter before noon on Sunday you read the awkward chapter. I strongly suggest that you go back a reread the chapter. I think it will make more sense.

And to those you you that hat dangling ending, I'm sorry if the end of this chapter triggered you.

Not!

Hi All

Well good things have happened.

The dreaded RexfordDam has offered to edit "I'll Fall In Love Again?" and I thankfully said yes. He went over it and sent me his edits, I read his and compared it to mine and now it is done.

I hope all of you who commented will re-read the story and let me know if it now is at a level, as many said, "Not my best work" and "It has fallen short of your usual level of writing".

RexfordDam has agreed to edit my other work as it comes along. Askepot is still doing The Strawberry Patch. Askepot has helped me raise the level of SP to the point that it is scoring over an 8 and I hope that my other works that are sitting at the high 5's and the middle to upper 6's will improve.

I have a story in the wings that I was going to use as my breakout on Patreon, but I've decided to keep writing for free. With these two outstanding folks editing for me, I hope that everyone enjoys my work. Keep in mind that sometimes, I just write weird shot!

Hi All

I asked for it and I got it. I went ahead and did a big rewrite and have posted them today.

I received several fairly comprehensive bits of critique and one offer to edit my stories, other than The Strawberry Patch, where Askepot has been putting up with my poor excuse for writing for the past eight months.

I've posted what I think are the needed changes. If the one volunteer does, indeed, take on editing my stand a lone stories, then I'll post the story one last time after he, or she, has perfected it.

I'm sorry for posting this POS. I really like the stories concept and now that I've cleaned it up, I see at least two or three sequels that could get my muses attention.

Happy reading all

Mick

Hi All

I forgot to turn on the comments. It is on now so let me have it!

I glanced at the post and the italicized stuff didn't come out right. I'll try to get that fixed.

I dropped Windows and Office in favor of Linux and LibreOffice.

Please leave your comments and be gentle.

Mick
