  1. The trailer hooked me, but this seals the deal. He's one of the four great Chris'es. In no particular order: 1. Chris Evens 2. Chris Hemsworth 3. Chris Pine 4. Chris Pratt

    Conflict

    This was a timely article, as I've been struggling with a conflict in the next installment of my series. It helped reinforce what I already knew but presented in a different light. I kept wondering if I was doing this one conflict element as a story plot prod, conflict for drama sake, or if the characters involved were really like the way I was writing them. With how I develop my characters, they each have a life of their own. I have an intention of how I want a character, but once I'm writing, and in their mindset when it's their turn in my Third-Person format, they can go in a direction that is different than what I intended. Which is at the crux of my conflict about the conflict in my story for these two specific characters. The bad guy is not as bad as I intended.
  3. Another one, I'm hooked on. K-19 with Harrison Ford was good too.
  4. I'm hooked!
  5. That it does. LOL
  6. 710 is just screaming to be done... another added to the infinite list of ones to do.
  7. I believe Myr's right about no notification. None of the dedicated readers of my Tampa Chronicles Stories has mentioned an update notification when I did a description and the banner.
  8. "Write for an audience of one, [yourself]." - Metatron, scribe of God, Supernatural S11E20. While I like the serial posting style, after some experiences, I've decided only to publish when the story is complete. That way I know, it's been written, edited, re-written, edited again, and then polished with a proofread. Having readers leave you because you're not posting to their mindset of when it should be published is a blow to the ego, but you eventually get over it. But, I'll admit it hurts when it happens. Frankly, I care too much about how my product is presented, which is why I go through several steps before posting my significant projects. If I didn't, I would say frak it and post everything, errors and all. I do with some as they are short scenes and practice pieces, kept in two collections labeled that they are RAW pieces, which I feel are good enough to showcase my writing style.
  9. I am as well. Trying to make a Series Banner was a lesson in how bad I am at graphic design, and using basic programs.
  10. Thanks once more for helping with this chapter, all the good feedback, and leaving a comment here. Yes, Adam is a little bit of a control freak, but he's open to input from everyone. The self-fulfilling prophecy is close to the mark. The main reason why he hasn't let Giles sleepover more, was because of what happened the night that Rob moved back in from his parents in the last book. He's waiting for Rob to prove he's responsible enough to allow Giles back over. He knows they are having some sort of sex, but he's waiting a bit.
  11. Thanks for reading and helping to edit this chapter, BB. I more align with Travis too, than I do my core family members. I guess being poor most of my life, I like my characters to be able to afford some nice stuff.
  12. Another excellent chapter. I've come to find the characters well thought out, and the writing well developed.
  13. Meditation is something more people should do when it comes to self-reflection. I know that is something I lack at times.
  14. If you're of the praying sort, say one for Florida. It's a bad one headed for the panhandle. For our members in Lower Alabama, Georgia, and the Carolinas, if they say to evacuate, do it. Don't play games or be stupid.

  15. I have an offer, that you just can't refuse.
  16. Oops. I thought you were in NJ and near the city. My bad.
  17. There's a few from that region, that I think might be able to help you. @Kitt @Defiance19 @Randy Wade comes to mind, and @Carlos Hazday goes there a lot.
  18. Thanks, BB... You're making me blush here. LOL
  19. Thanks, BB. The duality of Tibs is something I liked. On one hand, he's done some nasty shyte. On the other, he will do whatever he has to for the family. He feels that he owes Adam a lot, and doing this was just a drop in the bucket, to him. His main concern is to keep his nose clean, until he's no longer being watched, and stay addiction free.
  20. Thanks, BB. I'm glad you enjoyed My Son, and for the support. 🙂
  21. Loved all three poems tim, yours and cognac's. All of them have special meaning and are beautifully done.
  22. Good advice. For a recent story, I saw an advert at Wal-Mart, that had this male model on it, and it looked exactly what I imagined one of my characters to look like. Needless to say, I looked up that model when I got home and found a treasure trove of photos for the guy. Some of which he's doing activities I had the character doing in the story.

    Life Redux

    Stunningly beautiful, tim. I thought both were excellent.
  24. Excellent poems. I loved the visuals from both Louis and Friendship.
  25. Thanks, Daddy Dave, for the feedback. In hindsight, I should have broken the last three chapters up a bit more. I agree the last of the story was a little bit on the rush side. It was because I was straying into the territory of the fourth book. The fourth book picks up on June 23rd, when they board a train for Boston, MA. I had to cut it off quickly, or I would end the book on a Cliffy and not as a setup for the next.
