Writer Mick: Blog

Hi All

I finished the correction and rewrite of "Expect Me When You See Me".

As with previous stories, this one had no editor and now that I've been helping some friends with their work, I can see my own work with a more critical eye.

I hope you can take the time to read this story again and that you enjoy it more than the first time. If you are reading for the first time, thank you and I hope you enjoy the story.

As always if you find any errors, I am always open to positive criticism, except for "You suck!"

Hi All

First a Happy Independence Day to my fellow Americans who still believe that we live in a wonderful country founded by amazing men.

Second, in my never ending effort to unscrew some of my unedited writing, I have just finished going through "I'll See You When I See You". I've corrected spelling and spacing errors AND fixed some of the continuity errors that some of my wonderful readers caught.

I am reposting all 10 chapters today and will begin working on some other stories over the summer. I also have a completed story that has 11-12 chapters in the hands of my editor and a few friends with better command of the language I insult each time I write. I have been going back and forth on putting it on Patreon first and then following her on SOL. No decisions made yet.

I am up to Chapter 45 of "The Strawberry Patch - Life on The Savannah" and have realized that I let some of the pissed off readers affect me too much. In an effort to fend of tragedy and cliff hangers, I'm afraid that I made the story a little too bland. So I went back and reread the book from chapter 1 and I'm making some changes. They will be posted with notices from me as I go.

Thank you again for your readership and for your comments.

Hi All

I finished rewriting another story. This time it was "Red Redy Redbush".

I found several spelling errors and awkward phrases. It should be better now.

Hi All

This morning I was reading the latest chapter of The Strawberry Patch Book 3, as I always do, because in the past I have been known to post an unedited version of a chapter instead of the clean one.

Anyway, for whatever reason, I was not happy with what I read. After doing that quick challenge story yesterday, something about this chapter didn't seem right, so I went in and made some changes that seemed to make the story flow a little better.

I hope my editor Askepot will forgive me for not passing it through him again. And I hope that you will enjoy reading the chapter more this time.

I know I did!

Happy Father's Day to all of us lucky enough to be Dad's.

Hi All

Eddie Davidson made a challenge in his last blog.

I was in a mood! So I answered the challenge and came up with this little piece. It cost me an afternoon of beer and deep dish pizza at Old Chicago!

I hope y'all enjoy it.
