Just got my first review back for The Cibarius and I'm excited. Looks like I'll be brushing the story up or tweaking it slightly in the future, but to what extent I'm not sure. In the end, somebody telling me they enjoyed reading something I wrote, is worth all the trouble.

Well several stories are now circulating, most via email and one printed version. Spent Saturday printing three copies and then found the puppy chewing on the edges of one. So my thoughts are the story must be good, or tastes good. I'm happy with the finished product either way, but I'm curious as to what others will think/react.

The new story I'm working on, a complete rewrite is starting slow. I'd like to follow the previous plot and flow of the story but I don't want to copy it. Something fresh and interesting while portraying a difficult story. It's been a long time since I've written anything new like this and it might take me awhile to get back into the swing of it.

Spent some time yesterday printing a few copies of my short story The Cibarius for some friends to read. Really had more response from my Facebook post than I expected but I'm glad of it. Now comes the wait period and hope I'll get some feedback in return. Can't deny I'm happy to be mostly finished with that story and today I'm working on "something different" but in the same genre as the last. Not sure why but it seems like a story to be 100% fantasy would be a step backward, so I'm happy to consider and work on Chick Lit.

Wow has it been a year already? I've been busy moving and writing but less of later. Currently I've got a short story finished and trying to decide what to do with it. I keep leaning towards a self-publication via Kindle but haven't completely decided. I've also figured out that writing a story is the easy part of becoming published. Or maybe not "published" but successful. Still think I'd be perfectly happy with a few readers and I'm sure I'll be happy with that if they buy my story.

Would like to start working on a totally new story but my newest short story has been taking up most of my writing time. Seems like each day is shorter than the last and the list of things to do is growing.
