Chapter 35 The Winds of Change
Headstall commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 35 The Winds of Change
Yeah, it was an exciting, scary, heart pumping chapter to write. Warren was indeed the hero again. His deire to help proved right as it happens, but he did take a hell of a chance. I honestly believe Kellar reached Reznick's neck in time, so he would have saved Tobyn. The only shot fired was Warren's, so Reznick wasn't quick enough. What mattered to Kellar, though, is that Warren got the credit. Yes, if Reznick had survived with the copper knowledge, their advantage would have been over. Thank you, sir! -
Thank you so much, Terry. Your words mean a lot to me. I'd forgotten this bit of writing. I do have my moments. "Nobody could ever properly describe the joining. It defied words. The profoundness of it wasn’t just sexual. It was emotional and spiritual to go with a chemical reaction of the physical. The earth mother had truly outdone herself." Yeah, she did!

Chapter 33 The Business at Hand
Headstall commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 33 The Business at Hand
Elinor might be the leader, but Miss Sybil is the Matriarch of the pack. All of them rely on her for her knowledge and her wisdom. It's so nice to see her getting nudges again. I love how Kellar's mind works. He saw a potential hole in their theory, and found the answer. It was the thing he needed before putting anyone, especially Tobyn, at risk. Cheers! -
No worries, Terry. I appreciate anything I can get. Life happens. I love writing the special aspects of everyday living and mixing it with pivotal moments like what happened in this chapter. It is so rewarding when readers don't see something coming. Warren is a true hero, and is now fully and completely part of the pack. It should really help his confidence. And as far as the story, this new revelation is a really big deal! Cheers, my friend.

Chapter 40 The Art of the Deal
Headstall commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 40 The Art of the Deal
A lot of readers devoured the story and didn't leave any or many comments. I could tell that by the chapter likes. Some readers only leave a like on the final chapter, and that's the only way I know they read the story, same for others who only leave a 'story like'. C'est las vie. Logan's tumor was serious, so it could take time. Kellar seems pretty confident, though. I agree Tobyn was wise in his approach to Clarence. This is the kind of thing he excels at. His diplomacy likely comes from watching his mother in action. Took me a while to get into the site today, so I'll make this quick. Cheers and thanks for sharing your thoughts, buddy. -
Chapter 30 Family Matters
Headstall commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 30 Family Matters
Thanks, Terry! Sitting on the Warren twist was hard for me. It was fun too, when the time came. This chapter came out exactly as I had envisioned long before I wrote it. While I appreciate Warren being so self-deprecating, it also kind of breaks my heart. He has a tough journey since he last saw Kellar, and yes the changes in him are quite shocking. Tobyn was only moderately successful keeping Adelin in check. Tilly needed the boost the boys gave her. Cheers, my friend. I have had a really busy evening with regards to writing and editing, and I am heading for bed. -
Or he farted. Hey, bro!

Chapter 29 Not Such A Bad Thing
Headstall commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 29 Not Such A Bad Thing
Couldn't agree with you more about this chapter. As much as Tobyn will always be Tobyn, we are seeing a clear change in his priorities, as you point out. He is no longer carrying the shifter world on his shoulders ... because he has Kellar... he has a partner in everything. True too, we are seeing the strength mates give each other, and why the earth mother knew what she was doing. I expect she was prescient when she created different races, and understood they would need their own strengths... their own magic. Cheers and thanks, Terry. I'm enjoying this revisit immensely. -

Did a first edit of my latest effort and I think the story works. 15,000 words. What a relief.

Thanks, Albert! I finished my first draft! 14000+ words and it's pretty rough right now, but I think there's a chance I can get it in shape for the Anthology. If not, I will post it separate. That's two stories and two poems I've written in the last week! I'm back, baby!

Well, isn't this hit and miss game fun? Hi everyone! Good luck, @raven1. See you on the flip side. I'm doing this quick in case the format goes down again. I've been writing pretty much non stop and feel I'm getting close to the end of a second new story. Over 12,000 words so far... wish me luck. I think my concentration is improving. I don't even care fi this turns out not to be one of my better stories... it's the fact I'm writing that makes me happy.

Chapter 24 Facing Demons
Headstall commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 24 Facing Demons
It also shows the author's plan, and playing the long game. Getting to this point, when everyone had thought we had seen the last of Warren PeePants in the driveway, was so much fun for me. This was my first mystery, but I knew to succeed I had to keep readers guessing. Hear that sound... it isn't Kellar howling... it's me tooting my own horn. -
Chapter 23 Comes with the Territory
Headstall commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 23 Comes with the Territory
Lol. Maybe you are a seer. I doubt, though, a sex talk with Miss Sybil. To quote a line from Jurrassic Park, "Life will find a way". These boys will figure it out. Definitely, we are seeing the purpose of the earth mother in creating mates and energy. She wants this favored race to be strong, as was intended. Even with out the mate energy, though, I see Kellar as someone who is always evolving. Cheers! -
I love it too, but writing lovemaking scenes is not my favorite thing to do. I believe a writer has to put himself in a very vulnerable place in order to write an honest love scene, and sometimes it is very difficult to do that. That said, I did enjoy this one, so I'm pleased you didn't skip it. Tobyn will always be Tobyn, no matter how much he grows as a person. I agree with your comment on Kellar. He doesn't judge. Cheers, and thanks, Terry!

That information comes over the next chapters. Humor is an east part of their dynamic. This was a rollercoaster of a chapter--a continuation of the previous one--but it doesn't mean we can have some chuckles. Lol. Cheers, buddy.
