Website Up!

Thanks to my sister's help and the help of the techies at plesk, the website is back up! It wasn't so much a really hard thing as something that I fail to understand.

I've got a lot of updates to do to the site. O_O <3

Various Projects

The Website: When freepgs.com died and migrated my account to plesk, I couldn't figure out what to do to it to make it work. Thanks to help from my sister, I think it might be working again soon. Still need to upload all the new files-- and then, yeesh, some additions need to be made!

New Podcast + Blurb: Dear Editor, hosted by Victoria (Vicki) and Michelle (Mica), two sisters who share a voracious appetite for reading and knowledge. Vicki and Mica strive to connect fiction and nonfiction, reading and writing, in a blur of relevance to our lives today. What makes a book stick in your memory? Can what you read shape how you view the world? How does a writer achieve that moment of brilliance, that tug on your emotion or your intellect that makes for an unforgettable experience? Delve into a podcast of literary analysis and unabashed philosophical wanderings with two avid Christian readers.

The Catechumen: First Editing phase complete. Unto the second opinion editing!

Bowling with Aliens: Editing? What's that?

A Penny For: This is a short story (12k) that I just finished. In "A Penny For," Carl finds himself in over his head when he decides to risk time travel.

Bowling with Aliens - Finished!

Finished at ~47,000 words, making it about 10k words shorter than I had expected. I am very happy to have finished a month earlier than my goal! It turned out that the closer that I got to the end, the more I could/wanted to write at once. My next project is to due a thorough edit of the Catechumen, which has a completed first draft but which I believe may need some consistency editing.

Bowling With Aliens

I'm at just over 18,000 words, and getting to the part where she actually has to make some decisions, instead of running around like a frightened rabbit. I got to tap slightly on my knowledge of South American exploration (for ruins), so that was fun. I've joined a guild on Gaia that is all about pledging to reach such and such words by the end of the summer. I've pledged 60,000 for this story, because I don't think it will be that long and I can easily do that.

I started a new story, Out of Hell, a few days ago, and it is up to 5,000 words. The story begins three years after swarms of poisonous bats claimed the night for the first time. The many deaths and dangerous nights shut down long-distance travel and broke established commerce. Terese and Leon live on an island with others who have learned how to come together to increase their chances of survival. The two get off to a rocky start until the death of a mutual friend brings to light Leon's desire to leave the island.

Bowling with Aliens - 11600+ words. Reena has yet to realize just how off the beaten path her new friends are.
