Progress and a Thank You

I know I haven't been too productive since Martin and I got Frank working but things have been a bit crazy around here. First, Frank doesn't always cooperate (sometimes the video card just doesn't want to boot with the rest of the system). Second I've been really exhausted for the past three weeks. A little over two months ago Martin and Francine were trying to work out a choreography for an ‘invitational spectacular’ that is held every year, it’s sort of a year-end party for the local dance community. Francine is Martin’s mom, fellow choreographer, and my other dance teacher.

Martin and I have created Frankenstein's PC out of his old PC and some parts. The OS is in french and for some reason my copy of office did not want to install in English, so that's in German, but I have a working comp to write on again. Now hopefully I can get some work done on my serials, Novels and the last of the intro stories for the Hyperverse I've been trying to flesh out.

So hopefully, if I'm porductive this week, you'll all be seeing something from me soon :)

Computer issues and possible solution

I knew it was coming, I just hoped it wouldn`t be so soon. My laptop has been having enough issues with the memory and hard drive problems and various other problems with USB ports, network card, and a lot of the other onboard motherboard related hardware. Now the onboard video is going too. I`ve been plagued with various screen and graphics errors the past several days and It`s getting progressively worse, I can hardly see what I`m typing through the damn lines on the screen..

No Twice Removed this week

I had a good portion of the new chapter of Twice Removed written but I decided I didn't like what I wrote and that it wasn't consistent with what I want to do later in the story. Between that and some major depression I probably won't be posting it this week while I try to get my head straight and work on editing the first ten chapters of Raven's Blood for a bit of a break before getting back to Twice Removed and serials I need to post chapters of.

Thanks for your patience,

Hey folks just a quick word of apology. I was hoping to have the regular chapter of Twice Removed done on Monday and work well underway for the new chapter of Alex in Wonderland and Copycat's story in the Hyperverse. Sadly I've been stuck in bed sick since Sunday and it's taking me a while to feel up to moving, let alone writing or even thinking creatively. I do have the new chapter of Syryn's Song half finished but alas it too will have to wait until I'm feeling better. I don't want to try to right anything while I'm sick and do a half-assed job at it, my readers deserve better than that.

“I don’t recall ever calling myself that, but yeah, I moved some people in that school to safety,” I admitted. “It was really no big deal; it must be a slow news day.”

A word of warning

Just to warn you all, my laptop is at it again. Slow running and constant crashes are making it hard to finish chapters of the stories I'm working on and the the story I was working on for the February contest. So Twice Removed may be delayed and worst case scenario I may drop out of site if it dies again. This hard drive was a used one and I never expected the fix to last this long with all the other hardware issues I was having.

So if I drop out of sight you all know why, but I will keep plugging away for as long as I can manage.

*hugs to you all*

Has anyone at all heard from Sephrena lately? I don't recall having seen her commenting to anything lately and one of her last blogs over a month ago mentioned her health problems. Does anyone know if she's okay? I know people got concerned for me when I dropped out of sight for a while and Sephrena is a big part of what makes BCTS great. Maybe I missed something while I was offline all that time but before that it was unusual for Sephrena to go very long without commenting on something so I'm getting a little concerned.

“Sorry, my alien overlord doesn’t let me go to parties,” I answered sarcastically.

I'm how old?

Ever since I started my transition I've been very young at heart, in fact if you asked my ex wife she would say, every time, that I act like a thirteen or fourteen year old. I personally blame my second puberty. I'm afraid less, I get more out of life, I have goals, and I'm in touch with the real me. A friend of mine sent me an online test that tests your mental age so I thought I'd see if my ex was right. The test measures things like how emotional and mature you are and such, so it's a mental age test and not an intelligence test.

I was looking at my account details earlier today and I was shocked to discover that I have gotten over 5000 kudos in the year and a half or so that I have been on BCTS. It came as a bit of a shock to me with as much time as I've had to spend not writing since I started here due to health or computer issues.
