Thanks to everyone who has read my stories and to those who still do.

So, this year has been different. I'll leave it at that. But, it has, for some reason inspired a new story. One that is completely finished and just waiting to be posted. So, I'll be posting one chapter each week until a couple weeks into the new year. Enjoy.

I'm going skiing. First time in...way too many years, which means I'm either gonna have a great time, or I'll break every bone in my body. So...if you don't see anything from me in a while, you know why. But, I left you with a treat in the form of Literati cuteness. Enjoy. And wish me luck.

I have too many ideas, too many half finished stories, and entirely too many chapters waiting to be uploaded. But, I don't want to publish a new story until I have all chapters finished, and it is taking some time to get to that point. I can't seem to focus one one story at a time, instead flitting between them like an increasingly dizzy butterfly. But, I am working on them, and they will eventually be posted. In the meantime, I found some old short stories that I thought I'd give new life. I hope you enjoy them.

I know there are some people out there who've been waiting patienty for an update to Not Dreaming. And I know it's been forever. But, apparently wonders do happen, because it has been updated. Thanks to all of my old readers who still remember this story.

So, as some of you may have noticed, I've written some short stories during the summer, and recently uploaded them. It's been fun going back to those old times in the show, and trying to fix the things that (in my opinion) went wrong. Unfortunately other things happen in life as well, and stress is not a good source of inspiration at least not for me. But...I'm still here, and I still enjoy writing. I just do it rather slowly, so be patient with me, and I will get through this bump a well.

I am trying to catch up on answering reviews, but unfortunately I have not found a way to do it in the app on my phone. I thank everyone for their kind and encouraging words, and I will respond if I have not done so yet. I still can't respond to those who are not writing from an account, but I do appreciate your reviews just as much. Thank you.

I am sorry for being MIA again. I got married, and I've been sick almost all of fall, which has messed with my mind a bit, so instead of continuing unfinished stories, I fixed up another one that I never published before. It is finished, and will be published quickly.

I haven't been around for years, and the email adress linked to this account has been gone for quite some time now. And I haven't answered a review for even longer. But, after watching, and being more than a little disappointed in, the revival, I came back here to read a couple old time favorites.

And now there's a new chapter of Freudian Slip up. Life is crazy sometimes...

"Read, read, read. Read everything - trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window." - quote by William Faulkner

Practice Makes Perfect

“…from the palm of her hand against the palm of his, from their fingers locked together, and from her wrist across his wrist something came from her hand, her fingers, and her wrist to his that was as fresh as the first light air that moving toward you over the sea barely wrinkles the glassy surface of a calm, as light as a feather moved across one’s lip, or a leaf falling when there is no breeze so light that it could be felt with the touch of their fingers alone, but that was so strengthened, so intensified, and made so urgent, so aching, and so strong by the hard pressure of their fingers and the close-pressed palm and wrist that it was as though a current moved up his arm and filled his whole body with an aching hollowness of wanting.” - quote from For Whom the Bell Tolls - book by Ernest Hemingway
