Eight years ago I posted the first of my stories on line. No, it wasn't here. I didn't find this place for a bit longer.
I did start posting here, though, with the first stories of what later coalesced into the Universe. It's a comfortable place for me to write from. I have some emotional attachment to the characters.
Occasionally, though, I wish to diverge. The new story, Carlie, is not part of the Smart Girls Universe because I wanted to try something a little different. Yes, you'll recognize a lot of features that I enjoy writing about, because after all, as much as I appreciate you dear readers, ultimately I write the stories I want to read myself.
I have a few other stories that have been sitting on the back burner as well, none of them part of the Universe, either, and I may roll some of them out in the future.
In the meantime, let's see what happens with Carlie.
