Some of you may remember me from when I was an author here in the past. I deleted my entire Diary when I was fed up with all the negative feedback. Well, the responses from my "fans" have been overwhelming so I decided to repost them again. It will take a while as I want to edit them for mistakes and grammar which seemed to be source of irritation for many people.
For privacy purposes this time I won't be listing the dates for my diary entries but I don't think they really mattered. Instead I'll be numbering them in order for those who want to know which ones to read first. Some of the early ones tend to rehash past experiences (another source of complaints) but as they get older I depend more and more on people having read the previous entries to understand the context.
For those unfamiliar with my Diary, I started writing short snippets to use while chatting back in my college days to avoid having to type the same things over and over again. As time went by these grew until finally someone suggested I post them as stories.
While I try to keep the plot on track, of course I have to change many personal details - names, locations, descriptions, etc. I try to stay consistent although at times it's difficult but you would be amazed to what lengths people parse what I write to see if they can figure out who I am and where I live!
In addition I usually have to condense what happened or I'd be writing novels! So Call these the "Reader's Digest" version of the events (OK, I'm showing my age!). Are these true? It won't matter what I say - only you can decide for yourself.
One more thing... complete index of my diary is in the preface to the first diary entry.
