Writer Mick: Blog

Hi All

The second chapter of Passion of the O'Dells will post Sunday morning. I forgot to turn on the comments and when I did, I got two nice comments and a grammar correction to one of the commentators from my editor Coullpert! The man is indefatigable!

I've also posted the corrected "A Plan Comes Together" and I'm still hoping that "Friends and Family" will get up to an 8.00 score since it's sitting at 7.99 thanks to the one person who gave it a 6 after the first chapter!

Normally, I don't fish for score too much. But I thought that "Friends and Family" was one of my better efforts. It was as fun to write as "A Dark and Stormy Night".

If you have a Valentine to celebrate VD with, I hope you have a great time. Have a little extra fun for those of us who have lost their V's.

Hi All

So here I go and rework "A Plan Comes Together" and I proudly post the edited and corrected version and then I get an email from a reader known as Red Dog, telling me that I screwed something up!

And he was right!

No matter how carefully I read things through. No matter how good an editor is. Something always slips through.

Red Dog, thank you for reading and for the really good catch. It makes the story make better sense.

I've posted the corrected and re-edited corrected and edited version, but looking at the time, it might not get posted until Friday morning.

I love my readers!

HI All

Well, I took a few minutes to look over "A Plan Comes Together" and like most of my older stories, I found errors and misspells and other stuff.

So I edited it and did the spelling corrections. I submitted it this evening, so it should be up tonight or tomorrow,

Thanks for reading and I hope you like it enough to improve the score.

Hi All

So I was so impatient to post the first chapter of the new O'Dell book, I went and posted the unedited chapter!

The corrected and edited one should be up shortly.

What a doofus!

I suck!

Hi All

Today is the day!

Valentine's Day - doesn't affect me.

Super Bowl Day - Go Chiefs!!!!!!

The Passion Of The O'Dells - Chapter 1 - Gets Posted next Sunday!!!!!

NO WAIT!!!!

I CAN'T WAIT! CHAPTER 1 POSTS TODAY!!!!!!!

Now this is the first time that I have begun posting a story that is not finished. However, at this time, I only have three or four more chapters to write for it to be done.

The wonderful Coullpert is the editor and has been a joy to work with.

The story picks up right where The Fortune Of The O'Dells leaves off. This book takes the O'Dell family up through World War Two.

I sure do hope you enjoy reading it as much as I'm enjoying writing it.

Thanks, in advance for your readership.
