Wow! Wow! and triple Wow! Wicked chapter So, Chris is almost definitely Alex!

So sorry, Luc. Camy

I'm guessing that when you go back and re-write this will appear sooner in the time line ... or perhaps I'm just impatient to solve the hack 'n' slash ritual murder plot. Another nicely written scene that shows us how caring Joe is.

Sharon said it!

My take is that Alex/Chris is a single person with a distinct split personality, and depending on where or who he finds himself with, the personalitty best suited to cope comes to the fore. Wicked chapter, btw! Roll on 18! Camy

The last two lines gave the game away, though I suppose I should be asking 'which game'. I like the premise behind this way of writing. It's very fresh, very immediate, and you can sort it all out when you've finished. It gives the reader a lot of interest: both in the story itself, and in the way you write. Camy

Yep, that definitely gets the seal of approval! Camy

You lucky, lucky man. My muse won't play 'faery tales'. He says he doesn't want to be responsible - whatever that means. Stupid muse.

He probably isn't if it was a complete novel, but reading it in its present episodic form, I found myself struggling - but only on those two paragraphs ... other than that I'm loving it! Camy

I'll wish you good luck too, though I don't think you'll need it. You have both the burgeoning talent and tenacity to succeed. Just keep on writing what you write, and saying what you need to say, and don't be seduced by other genres just because you feel it might be 'easier' to get published. Setting yourself a target date is a brave step. 2009 is very, very close, especially if you consider lead times in book publishing. The key to it all is getting a good agent, and staying modest. So ... good luck! Camy

Linda and Mike seem like definite psychics, and now with the final two paragraphs I'm verging on losing the plot, unless I forgotten something I should have paid attention to. Calmly set around a pool party, this chapter is a mental cliffhanger! Rats: I'm going to have to wait for 15 to (hopefully) get my sanity back. Camy

I drink Bud, but then where I live it's definitely not domestic. Good chapter, good new characters - Mike 'the psychic' is a goody. Chris (gotta be him) doesn't seem too happy to see Joe there

Wow! I don't know what a 2.6 means, but you sound happy ... and that makes me smile. Congratulations! Camy

More twists and turns than a twisty turny thing More, please! Camy

I sincerely hope you meant to say: 'I am going to finish this, and then do a second draft.' Camy

Somehow I don't think it's going to end with Chris being 'happy', just yet. I'm also intrigued to see if the ritual murders were just a side plot... 'Busted' could go in so many different directions! Camy

I've got a *looks in old teapot* few spare bucks, why don't we all chip in and start an airline? Unfortunately the name Virgin has gone, but we could call it GA Air. Snappy name, huh? Honestly, whadda ya think. We could take it in turns being pilot...

You're such a tease, Jan! Like the guy with the super deep voice who does the trailer ad's for big movies. I want to read it now! Camy ps how about a sneak peak Nick?

Wonderful piece of writing, thanks! If it's the end of a sub-plot, you've left a lot of questions which need answering. Most intriguing. Camy

'odds were that the killer wasn't going to strike again soon.' Yeah, right ... and my names Stephen King Camy

I guess the answer to both would be, I don't know. I suppose I was hoping for some sort of miraculous advice, so I don't have to decide for myself. Maybe an angel appearing behind the garden shed with a list of 'life' instructions. Anyway, I really appreciate all the comments. Camy the indecisive

I haven't blogged in an age and a half - at least here. That's one of the problems with blogs. They're almost too easy to set up. I'm trying to decide quite how 'out' I want to be. What I mean is that 'Camy' is obviously a pen name/pseudonym - and one I'm very happy with, and proud of. I picked it on the spur of the moment when I signed up at GA, just over a year ago. I'm known as Camy everywhere I go within the confines of 'gay writing'. However Camy is not me. Camy is the me that came out and started writing, the me that likes to think he can't be traced back to the 'real me' ... which, as I've had pointed out, is not hard. However I'm also a musician, and that's where my quandary lies. I'd like to have all my artistic 'things' under one name. I'd like to be able to say "hey, listen to this song the bands just recorded." But at the moment I can't - unless I creep out some more. and that could be painful. So I'd like some advice, if you'd be so kind. Is the fact that I'm Gay Author writing gay fiction a death knell to me performing music in a band? Should I keep the two totally separate, and start worrying about late onset schizophrenia? Or what? Thanks, Camy

Pretty much what Graeme said in his 2nd, 3rd and 4th paragraphs, really. My fault for getting here so late Camy

My money's now on multiple personality (law and) disorder.

Perhaps it was so good, your mom was jealous!
