A reader pointed out my use of 'Word' chapter headers ("One", "Two", etc.) was causing issues with downloading the story. I want to sincerely apologize; I never meant for it to be a problem and I've changed it accordingly.
The reason I prefer to use worded chapter headers is because, to be honest, I don't really believe I should call any of my stories 'books' and I don't really think I should call the parts of any of these stories as 'chapters'. Using those terms implies, at least to me, I am an 'author'. I'm not. I'm a storyteller. An author is someone who is good enough to make a living telling stories (whether they actually do it or not). A storyteller is someone who tries - and tries hard - to spin a compelling yarn.
There are a few people on SOL I consider 'authors' because I think they are good enough to actually sell their work (and some of them do, I think). These are the likes of Jay Cantrell, G. Younger and so on. I'm certainly not there yet, though I aspire to such lofty goals some day.
Finally, I've received some e-mails which have been critical of some or all of Runesward. As always, THANK YOU. Criticism hurts but is necessary to be a better storyteller (if not author). Some of the criticisms, I absolutely agree with - and I'd change things, if I could figure out a better way of presenting them; hopefully, I can find a way to avoid my pitfalls in future works.
The thing is - every e-mail I receive (even those that tell me my work is shit) are RIGHT. It's a perspective thing - this is how they see my story/stories so, to them, it is absolutely accurate. It's like the old axiom 'the customer is always right' - the customer IS always right because what they say to you is what they see and feel, no matter if you see things or feel things differently. Its only through the feedback or conversation that we can become better.
