Buy Me a Drink

So I've finally released the first chapter of my new story, Buy Me a Drink. The first chapter is entitled, Hot Mess. Please, please, PLEASE read it and let me know what you think. I was a bit nervous about starting to post it so I'll be happy with all the feedback I can get (good, bad, or indifferent). Here's a link to the discussion thread.

 

A little bit about the story: Bmad is a stand alone story but it's also the first part of what I intend to be a two part story. Indeed it's much shorter than the sequel will be. It's also completely done, and almost entirely edited (thanks Sharon!), and fairly far along with beta reading as well (Thanks Tim!). Thus, failing any natural, or unnatural, disaster it will be released on a weekly basis (or sooner) until it's completely posted.

 

I'm expecting there to be a sequel, and there likely will be as long as I feel inspired to work on it (hint: I'll feel more inspired if people seem to actually be reading it :boy: ).

 

Drop by the discussion thread and let's discuss it! :D

 

 

I also submitted my Summer anthology entry tonight! I've started almost every anthology we've had for the last couple of years, but I've seldom managed to finish AND feel satisfied enough with the results to bother getting it edited and submitted. Indeed I probably wouldn't have submitted this one either if Sharon hadn't encouraged me to (thanks again, Sharon!). Don't blame her though if you guys hate it ;)

 

I also have a couple of other complete, or nearly complete, short stories that I intend to release over the next couple weeks, and inspiration for at least 4 new serials. HOWEVER, before I get to the new serials I'll hopefully be writing BMAD's sequel AND finishing up Indefensible.

 

On that note I'd like to once again apologize to everyone who started reading it and has been disappointed by the long LONG delay. It's actually still the project that's closest to my heart and the only reason I never continued it was because I didn't feel like I could give it the focus, attention, and inspiration that it deserves. Rest assured that before I start re-releasing it I'll have lots of chapters in place and be very sure that I'm able to finish it within a reasonable span of time.

 

This summer is going to be (and already is :wacko: ) crazy, busy, but I'm hoping to still squeeze in a bit of writing here and there, and fortunately since BMAD is complete it shouldn't impact that at all.

 

I'm sure it seems to everyone that this writing kick is out of the blue, but really I've been continuing to write off and on all along and just haven't felt inspired enough to complete and post anything. LOL, three years ago I came here to be a writer and I'm going to be damn it! :P:boy:

 

 

Anyway, like I said, please let me know what you guys think!

 

BTW, I have a date tomorrow/tonight, his name is Ryan, wish me luck :)

Well the first three paragraphs, I have to say, are just great! I'll certainly read the rest now -- I was going to wait with commenting on your blog until I'd read it but now I felt I just had to tell you this.

 

And -- you submitted your summer anthology entry...? x___x I 've still got at least 1000 words to write on mine... gah. Why is everyone so ahead of time!! Anyway, looking forward to reading it though. ;)

 

And good luck with Ryan tonight! What are you weeaaring?? :P:D

I'm glad you feel inspired to write. It's amazing when that happens; when you sit down and just write endlessly.

 

I dropped a comment in the efiction thread. So far I'm hookedon your story. You have an engaging style.

 

You are definitely meant to be a writer, so it's good that you have plans for more works in the future.

 

Good luck on your date : )

Well mine's very short! I wrote the whole thing in one sitting.

And good luck with Ryan tonight! What are you weeaaring?? :P:D

hehe, that's what I'm trying to decide!

 

I can't figure out what signal I want to send or what style I want to embody. Right now I'm thinking of wearing this medium blue, button down shirt, with quite a few of the buttons open and the sleeves rolled up, and this off the wall, blue stone necklace, with a black threading, I would pair that with some black shoes and a black belt, and wear a pair of snug (but no obscenely so) jeans. That's what I'm leaning toward, but I was thinking I might go with something a little more understated instead *shrug*

Thanks, Tiff! I really appreciate that!

 

It certainly is good when inspiration hits! My problem is really a lack of time and focus, I usually have something in my head I could write, but I can seldom find the time, or make myself if I do have the time, lol!

Ooh you must've looked gorgeous! ;) So did you end up wearing that? And where did you go?

 

I hope you had a great time! :)
