How to proceed - 110325

Okay, so, phew. Milestone for Emmett and Finley is reached! And of course I once was "oh but with 25 chapters it should be done". Yeah, sure. Seems like I'm incapable of short(er) stories. Anyway. There are two more stories waiting for them in my mind and following that I have the idea of a fourth one featuring another couple (one of the guys we already know, wanna guess?). But I'm sure as hell not start straight away with part 2 as soon as I'm done. The Drama Queen has a cooldown. (Or my nerves

In preparation, I had a nice nap this afternoon   A question for you. I can't ask what age you are, as that is a no no in today's internets  so please don't supply it !! But I'm more curious when you retire, if you are retired, does the time switch mess you up? I know a lot of retired

Letter Box

March CSR Feature: In His Image by ChromedOutCortex

For this longer month, I've actually chosen a short story for the CSR blog readers. I think sometimes the longer a month is, the more I feel the need to cram into my life, or the more I have going on, and the less I have time to just... be. That time to stop, reflect, and take stock of what is truly important is a huge part of In His Image by ChromedOutCortex. Please check it out and come back to share your thoughts at the end of the month! In His Image @ChromedOutCortex Length: 3
