I put it up in FarSight; Resignation. Simpler than messing about with hyperlinks and hidden pages.!

Busy week.. the Shado Forum is up and running full speed ahead and we all seem to be posting and commenting on works. It's great to read so many new stories.. although I am getting confused as to what I have posted and where.
But. yesterday I had a very very quiet day at work and I finally managed to do The Picture. (after about 5 different goes!) It's not perfect, but I like it (sniggering here ) I will put it up on this site as soon as I get it scanned. You'll have to search for it though! Try looking at my favourite picture.. which might well end up being my second favourite picture! Give me a day or so first! At the moment I am doing something totally Non-UFO... Jenson Button winning in Barcelona ( I think it's there anyway!) I like the effect in the background....all hazy and blurred. And I'm doing it in colour as well! Perhaps it might get a comment from certain people!! It's pretty weird this blogging thing you know. There you are, writing everything down in your diary for years on end, keeping it hidden away, under lock and key, and then; BANG. blogging comes along and everything is out in the open. All your innermost thoughts ( well nearly all ) for the world ( well the on-average 50 people who look at this site daily) to see. Well, it's up. Posted under FarSight Trilogy. Damn. I hate posting stories ... I like to tweak them and make changes and add bits.... but I am in the middle of 'AfterMath' now and I simply have too many stories cluttering up my head. So it's up.
Enjoy? It was fun to write, and as soon as my incredibly patient Beta reader edits the other two stories I'll post those as well. If you like it, and I hope you do, you can always leave a comment via the contact page. I won't publish it, but it's nice to know that a story has been appreciated! Blame 'Dragon'. It's all her fault. She set a challenge on the Shado Writers Guild and everyone seemed to jump in immediately! Four cracking good stories almost by the end of the weekend!
I spent most of yesterday frantically writing 'The Bodyguard' and some of today proof-reading and picking up the bits I think needed changing. It's under Other UFO Stories. Just a story that had been hanging around in my head for a while, but when I came to write it, it wouldn't end the way it should have ended. Hope you like it. (!) Not sure that you will! (sniggering here) Well, the last bit done, typed and hopefully ready to proof-read, although as I have re-written the bit in Moonbase at the end at least five times, there may well be HUGE plot errors lurking in there. And I hope I have removed all references to events/people that need deleting, otherwise there will be some really perplexed readers! Still not sure how it will go down though, as I have been a bit brutal in this story. However, I do try to stay within the 'bible' of UFO and the aliens were known to be brutal and used mind control etc on several occasions.
The hardest part was the action scene in Moonbase at the end, but I'm afraid I cheated! If you read it (whenI get round to posting it!) you'll find out how I copped out! A new picture today.. no title yet, but I'll put it under Episodes 3. Straker.. I did it just because I wanted to have a go at the eyes again. And the shoulders aren't right, but I tend not to bother with peripheries such as that when I focus on one aspect. I have so much that needs doing at the moment... Matthew's Soul Mates to finish, Reviews for Denise's and Matthew's work and ...oh yes, actual 'work' you know .... the thing that brings the money in at the end of the month! I've written the last scenes for Recovery, and the scenes before that, but I am stuck in the middle. Ooops. It means I will have to go back to Resignation and Resistance and do some 'tweaking' to get things to flow smoothly. It's a good job I haven't posted them already, as then I would be stuck! My main problem is Henderson.... and Fitzpatrick...... and... oh never mind. I'll get it sorted out somehow.
And then there is the problem of what I am going to write once FarSight is completed. Combined Operations needs finishing; but it's going to be a hard slog as it needs a lot of research to get the details accurate ( although as this is a science fiction story anything goes!!) And A Matter of Degree needs the final chapter finishing off. But I am determined not to post these stories all at once. I am going to ration them. One a month. Then I will have one each month up until December. ( and it gives me chance to 'rewrite parts if I feel I can improve them!) Denise sent me properly bound copies of her first two Devilsgate stories! It's really wonderful to be able to read them as they should be read, from paper.. not off a screen. So I have printed off mine, and I'm going to get them put into folders. It may not be a thesis, or a dissertation, but as much work has gone into them! And, yes, I am proud of them. So I am off to Staples tomorrow to look at their folders etc. One day, maybe, I'll write a trashy chick-lit, but not right now. I'm off to torture Alan Tracy instead! And will this blog give me two posts again as it has a tendency to do? Let's press the button and find out! |
