Zachary's name was not the only change he had to deal with after the summer. Forever known as Bailey now, he has to adapt to the changes brought by life in junior high school. As his inner feelings go up and down throughout the seasons, his relationships with peers and family follow close behind.

Images question

I've been working on some artwork for old and new stories, and was wondering if the size/file size restrictions were still in place from the old FAQ post? That's all I could find digging around, so I was curious if anything had been updated on that front. Or if there's a new way to post images. It's not a problem trying to meet those sizes on my end. Again, simply wondering.

Revisions and Retcons

I've been going back and reading through some of my previous work. A few glaring mistakes stood out to me that I corrected asap. Then I started noticing little mistakes. A wrong pronoun here, or the wrong use or spelling of a word. Before long I felt like changing a few things in the story overall. It got me thinking...

Volume 1 of Tight Knit is now complete!

First off, I'd like to apologize to anyone who has been waiting for the conclusion to this story.

I really don't want to delve into the personal aspects of it, but for the past year I've been dealing with some things. I kind of got sucked into something that I wish I had just stepped away from at the start. Instead, I allowed it to eat at me emotionally, and I regret not devoting that time wasted to creating something more fruitful.

Heads Up

I thought I would give a little heads up to anyone following my ongoing stories, and for newcomers to them as well. First of all, I'd like to thank anyone and everyone who has shown support and encouragement. I've had some rough patches, and times where it looked like new writing would never come. So I truly appreciate anyone who stuck with, and continues to stick with my stories. Especially the Bailey saga. I'll try to keep new updates coming with it, as I enjoy going back to those characters.

The Bailey Saga

This is simply an organizational page for the Bailey series.

The story begins with The Summer of Bailey.

Then proceeds into Seasons of Bailey; going through Autumn, Winter and Spring respectively.

Then the story continues with All American Bailey.

Hopefully this will make it easier to follow the order of the story.

Finally caved

So I consider myself rather efficient in keeping healthy. I try to eat right, exercise (maybe too much). Sometimes I have issues sleeping, but it always seems to be "enough" when I get it. Over the years I've adopted too many feminine beauty regimens to register myself on the male side of the gender spectrum.

Jesse is the typical teenage daredevil. When he pulls one daring stunt too many, everything changes. Suddenly he's thrust into a world full of secret societies and magic. Only time will tell if he embraces the changes, or returns to the life he left behind.

Congratulations to the Kansas City Royals!

The Kansas City Royals have won the World Series 4-1. They came back to beat the New York Mets in the 12th inning of game 5, 7-2, after the Mets had a 2-0 lead for 8 innings. Hats off to the New York Mets for playing a hard-fought series. They were a class act.

On a side note, the Chiefs won in London! Good day for KC sports.

Bailey's first day back at school
sees her navigating the halls,
as well as past friendships and rivalries.
Will it be too much for her to handle this year?
Or will she break through barriers,

Loathing your own work

I'm just curious if any of you have ever gotten to the point where you really hate something you've written? Like every time someone mentions it you cringe. Or when fans of it ask for more, you wish you could travel back in time and slap yourself and say, "Don't write that you idiot!" Any of you feel this way, or is it just me?

if anything is going to seem normal again.
However, as Bailey is letting things go,

His first ballet serves as a backdrop to finding out new things

Seasons of Bailey: Winter - Part 2

BaileyWinter2600.png
Bailey is stuck in a world becoming evermore confusing.
When things feel so right, he feels so wrong.
Even when things seem so positive around him,
Bailey feels something is horribly wrong beneath the surface.
It may be the beginning of a winter slump,
but perhaps there is more to it than that…
