I just finished writing chapter 35 of the last book in the Stupid boy saga. As I sat back after hitting the send button to my editor I got a little emotional as anxiety clawed at my guts like a cat in a wet bag.
It's been quite the ride. To see the light at the end of the tunnel is daunting. At times I wasn't sure I could keep writing about the same thing and keep it interesting. I'm sure some of you gave up. I want to thank the ones that stayed with me.
This all began as a writing exercise that soon got out of hand. I've learned so much about writing over the last few years. I still have a long way to go, but I can now at least put together a coherent sentence. I read some of my first stuff and squirm, like spider-webs catching on your face, to see what you all suffered through.
I see only two or three more chapters and I will be done with Senior Year Part III.
I plan to tip one back as a nod to the end. Almost Done.
Happy New Year!

Next week I'll be taking some stories off of SOL. I wanted to give you a heads up in case you wanted to download them before that happens.
There is a combination of reasons that include rewriting the story with a different plotline, to expanding the story into a full-length novel, to it just wasn't up to my standards.
Story List:
1) The Device
2) The Chosen
3) Sell Anything On Craigslist
4) Getting it Wrong
Update On SB Sr III: The original plan was for 26 chapters and I would be done by Thanksgiving. I'm now starting Chapter 33 and have about five more to go. At a minimum, the ARC copy won't be ready until mid- to late-January.
Thanks

I had an old PC that crashed and had some of my early stories on it. I finally was able to save them. To be honest, I was a little scared of their quality, so I sent them to my editors to read. I was told one or two might be salvageable.
As a side note ... I apologize for my earlier writing. For many years all I wrote were business reports, which tend to be formal in nature. I didn't know what a contraction was ;-)
Thankfully, Bud Ugly is a glutton for punishment and cleaned up my story - The Device.
It's a story about a geek who lusts after another geek and then there are cheerleaders (that is mandatory for any story IMHO). Oh ... and there is a device.
If that description doesn't get you excited(more likely confused) ... LOL.
Five chapters. One posted daily starting on Thursday.
My editors and I spent way too much time on this.
Is it: Bow Chicka Bow Wow -or- Bow Chicka Wow Wow?
Here is the YouTube video the song comes from in the story.
