Hello out there to all the members of StoriesOnline. This is my first Blog posting concerning my first Story posting, Blazing Star. At this time, I have posted Chapter 12, while Chapter 13 should be online later today.
I am humbled by the positive responses to the story so far and hope I can continue to entertain all of you with the future chapters of this story. I am very much a virgin as an author and am now feeling quite broken in!
To all those readers/authors that have commented and/or e-mailed me about this story, I thank you. ALL of you. Every comment, positive or negative helps me to be a better author and thereby produce a better story for you to read. I really do appreciate it!
Having said that, the few responses that appear to be critical also assist in my improving the story. I am thankful for these also. As a result of these and followups from others, I may be changing small parts of the posted text and hope it improves the story. I will endeavor to notify you readers of those changes so you may, if you wish, reread the affected chapter(s). Please note that I have already reposted many of the first 10 chapters and at this time I consider them finished.
From time to time, my story may have things you think don't add up and you comment about it. I usually reply to all e-mails and some posted comments. I am sure that you are all trying to be helpful and that I appreciate.
Now, I will be making changes in Chapter 11 because a lot of readers have contributed information which, I am sure, was intended to be helpful. There have been many good points and I agree that changes would be improvements. Watch for a notice on this Blog about when that chapter has been reposted.
Please, this story is FICTION. It is ok to want it to be somewhat realistic, but not a requirement! Some details are not included for that reason. (among others)
One final comment: Play nice.
