A little update:

30 Nov 2019

(really 3 Dec 2019) I forgot to hit save when I edited my profile.

The Story Bindweed was/has been posted. this was done for November Writ more challenge. I failed to complete the story in the allotted 30 days. Sorry. I plan to complete this by the end of the year. Who said, "The retired have lots of free time?" They lied.

The story is posted without a Beta. IF someone would like to help me please step up. I could use the help.

Bindweed or bindleweed are common archaic names for the Morning Glory, a plant that often grows in undermaintained graveyards.

3 Dec 2018

I have 1 Chapter of a two-shot short story Reunion which fits with-in the Patronus Universe published. The Second Chapter is still in a rough draft stage and is not coming along as I would like it, but on the last read through it is getting better.

In the meantime, I tried to write a novel for NaNoWriMo. All the while operating in nearly every weekend in Amateur Radio Contest Mode. and prepping for one of the two ARRL Kids day events. I fell short of the 50,000 words. I got stuck and really hung up on one chapter. I have a short breakthrough, the chapter almost wrote itself. the Story sits at 6 Chapters and 40,000 words. It will cover from the basilisk scene in the chamber of secrets to a week or so after the end of school.

11 Aug 2018

One story completed. After years of trying to write a story, I found one that just basically wrote itself. Start to completed publication Was 40 days. 12 chapters and still writing notes and possible scenes for other stories as I wrote.

I feel like I have ADHD. There are so many different ideas it can get confusing to keep going in what I feel is the right direction.

Mid- July 2018

12/12 Chapters are done. 5 have been edited and 'published'. 3 epilogues. One story which might work as an independent slipping between the end of the second epilogue and last epilogue. I will see. I just have it outlined and a few notes on my thoughts.

I am shocked at the number of Visitors and Views. Thanks go to the readers and those which left reviewers and helpful criticism. To the person who left criticism which was unhelpful and non-specific, I ask: Where is your story?

I have 2 pages of notes and thoughts for a new story involving a hobby of mine.

30 June 2018

I finally have a story fit for sharing, I think. 11/12 chapters writing and in the final editing stage. The other stories are on hold... I will revisit them and finish them someday. But I finally published something.

Not bad for a 65-year-old coot.

Expect updates about every 7-10 days for this story.

Basically, I am a reader.

I do have three fanfic works in progress, and one original fictional work in progress, which may get shared eventually.

The original work is fully outlined and annotated, and 15 chapters are done (book one?) the next ten or twelve chapters are written an being filled in as needed. The outline of the next 48 chapters is done. I have moved on to trying to fill in the scenes.
