The first 11 chapters of Baad were posted right before my heart attack... and very clearly I wasn't feeling particularly well. I do remember having lots of brain-fog and a constant inability to concentrate. Frankly, this story was something of a mess, with more typos even than usual for me. I don't remember seeing any email lists from readers with stuff to fix, at the time... so I've done what I can now.
I've had a few pretty decent days in a row, this past week, and I've tried to use them. Baad chapters 1 to 5 were tweaked the other day, and just now I've uploaded the revised chapters 6 through 10. Might get to the last, chapter 11 later this evening.
I suck at editing, but I've cleaned up up a lot of the worst errors that I'm frankly quite ashamed got posted (and remained posted) for the last six months. It's certainly better, if not perhaps perfect. If anyone wants to send me a list of remaining typos, I can get them done asap.
I noted that Laz has posted a Valentine's Day contest, and in a fit of unusual efficiency, I went through my archive of 200+ story ideas and partial outlines and found something that I thought would do. It's been at least a year since I've been able sit down and type an entire new story in one sitting (17 MS Word pages) - but I did it!
Writing is much harder for me than it used to be, and there seems to be a slight disconnect now between what my mind wants... and what get typed. Entirely different words, in nearly every sentence! I suppose I can blame poor blood flow, or else I had a very small stroke during the widow-maker. Anyway, It's done and has been uploaded, and I suppose it will appear for reading Feb 12th, if I remember the rules right.
Work has started on Baad Chapter 12. I think I now remember what do with it next. Two new pages or so done... but I stopped to do the Valentine's story instead. I'm still tweaking the 3rd chapter of Now is All We Have. It's done... but I'm never 100% satisfied. Probably will be posted in the next day or three.
