Erica Jane

So I actually wrote something...

I lurk the /r/WritingPrompts SubReddit. Yesterday they had a very intriguing prompt that I actually wrote a little thing for. No fancy word processor, I used Reddit's reply box to post my bit. But it's the first thing I've written in almost 4 years. I just hope someone likes it over there. That would be nice.

~And so it goes...

A little blathering on about writing, stories, anxiety, depression and other joys...

This morning I was listening to an old song, Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here." And it made me want to post today. Not sure why, but it definitely made me think about posting something here today. Several weeks ago, I asked Erin to re-publish my stories. My old laptop's hard drive failed and took everything I'd written and posted here, and a lot of other material as well.

BLARG!

So... I'm angry. Those of you who know me, probably know I have anger issues. I joke about it and say I'm Irish (which I am) and that I've got the stereotypical temper (which I do). I have a hard time getting past anger. I don't forgive easily. I hold grudges. Maybe I'm being petty. I don't know, and I just don't care.

This is why I'm leaving BCTS. For how long? I don't know. Maybe for good, maybe not.

Vamps

After Sophia Giordano was killed while trying to make her first kill as a vampire, police took the teenager's benefactor St. John Westchester in for questioning by detectives Sean Murphy and Tómas Matias.

*Note: The tag Sixth Terra is what I'm using for the world that Athena's Wisdom and stories like this share.*

So, I'm not doing well.

Okay... So I'm feeling like crap; mentally, physically and spiritually.

I'm sick again, and while it's just strep, my doctor is wanting me to get chest x-rays to make sure that my weirdo pneumonia isn't coming back.

I have one friend left in the real world. He's dealing with his mom's stage 4 pancreatic cancer. And, he doesn't know about Erica Jane. So the friends I have, the ones I can really talk to are the friends I've made here.

Right now, depression, anxiety and the pain are just kicking my ass. And I think I'm losing it.

I'm a geek girl who grew up learning to read from comicbooks. It ruined me for life. I've been a superhero/science fiction/fantasy geek ever since. I really hope you enjoy my stories. I love hearing from the people who read my work so feel free to send me a PM!

Athena's Wisdom - Issue 2

*** Author’s note: I’m absolutely overwhelmed by the positive response from y’all here on BC. I’ve always had a serious lack of self-confidence when it comes to my own writing. Thank you so much! Hugs to all of you who read and enjoyed Issue One. ***

*** At the end of Issue One, Archie had been handcuffed to his hospital bed by an agent of the Department of Metahuman Affairs. What happens next? Will Archie be arrested? Will Pap and Archie make it to Washington? Will Agent Rick Manship realize that most people call him Dick? Read on fearless reader! ***

Working on Athena's Wisdom

One of the things I'm wondering about is if I'm making Archie a little too broken here in the beginning. I mean, yes part of writing fiction is torturing your characters for fun and profit. That said, I wonder if I'm being too hard on Archie too soon.

Things aren't going to get better anytime soon. Archie's story has some miles to go before it's done.

Just wondering...

First of all, I want to say Happy Thanksgiving to all the American members of Big Closet. I hope all of you are having a great day with friends and family. For everyone else in other countries, I hope you're having a great Thursday.

I'm about to have a giant feel sorry for myself moment. So, if you don't want to read that, you've been warned.

Another holiday, and another one spent alone. I was supposed to have a house full of friends today. All of them canceled for one reason or another.

Athena's Wisdom - Issue 1

*** Author’s note.   This started out as a Whateley Fanfic, but I decided that there’s just too much baggage there.   So this is going to be a new superhero setting that I make up as I need. ***

So, this is how it all started.   Beth made me promise to put this all down.   Here it is.   When I push deep into my memories like this, it becomes really immersive.   At least I won’t miss anything.   Now here we go.   

How I became…   me.
