I wrote a few words today.
Kaylei blinked and she was standing in line. She looked around and noticed she was in space. She was standing on an open platform which appeared to be floating in space, trapped in between people in front and behind her. She couldn't see past the ladies standing ahead of her or the ladies who stood behind her to tell if the platform was connected to anything, or if it was literally floating in space.
A little panicked, Kaylei tapped the shoulder of the lady who stood in front of her. The lady turned her head to look at Kaylei with an irritated expression on her face.
"Um, sorry to bother you, but um, where are we?" She felt her face grow hot at how foolish she sounded, but she had to know.
"We are in line to enter Kreidel Station," the lady said before turning her head back to its previous position.
"Kreidel Station?" Kaylei said. "Am I dead?"
"Of course you are, dear," a voice from behind said. "We all are."
"But I don't want to be dead," Kaylei said. "I'm supposed to go on a date tomorrow."
"Maybe she'll die, too, and you can have that date soon," the voice from behind said soothingly. "You know it will happen eventually."
Kaylei felt like screaming at the awful cheerful lady, who was way too cheerful for a dead gal. But she held her feelings in because she hated making a scene.

Good job, prolificwriter. I just noticed that I haven't posted in a few days now. I had a busy few days with a rush job translation that needed to be done by Friday (and in this case, the customer should have noticed that they needed a translation of their degree and class transcript longer than four days before the deadline to apply for a scholarship). Plus, I slipped on the stairs and sprained my ankle and didn't feel well. But I still wrote fiction, 1013 words on Wednesday, 1024 words on Thursday, 1020 words yesterday and 2700 words today. I also designed two covers for a new series and wrote the introduction, afterword and other ancillary stuff. I have a character who is a writer, Richard Blakemore, the protagonist of the Silencer series. He's a pulp writer in the 1930s who dresses up as his own masked vigilante character to fight crime. I always knew that Richard wrote other stories in addition to the Silencer stories (which are explicitly not the pulp stories Richard writes about the character, though we sometimes get glimpses of them) including a sword and sorcery series in the vein of Conan, Jirel of Joiry and Fafhrd and Gray Mouser. So when I wrote a series of sword and sorcery stories, I decided to have some fun and pass them off as a lost 1930s fantasy series by Richard Blakemore with myself as the editor who rediscovered and reprinted them. So the stories need an introduction and an afterword to clear up that I made up both the stories and the lost pulp author. Richard Blakemore also needs a bio and an author photo (which I took from a 1941 Sears catalog). Not sure yet if I'll push the charade even further and start a blog in his name. |

Firstly, sorry about your ankle. *hugs corabuhlert * Secondly, I love your lost stories idea, as well as your author vigilante character. He seems super cool!!!! You should totes do a blog if you're up for it. Also, great job on completing your rush translation job and still finding time to write fiction. You are a shining star of consistency and admirable hutzpah! |

Thanks for the well wishes, prolificwriter and K'Sennia Visitor. The ankle still hurts a bit and I'm limping a little, but it's much better now. Immediately putting up my leg and using a bandage whenever possible really helps. Glad you like the lost pulp writer idea, K'Sennia Visitor. I will put up at least a perfunctory blog for the writer/character, if only to make sure that people googling his name won't find only the British historian and American marine biologist who share his name. Besides, I can use it to promote the books. Writingwise, I wrote 2642 words today and formatted the first two Thurvok sword and sorcery stories. |

Published the first two stories in the new sword and sorcery series and wrote 2729 words.
Meanwhile, I am having problems setting up an Author Central page for Richard Blakemore, because I'm listed as the author introduction, so when I claimed the books in Author Central, they were merely added to my page and I was never prompted about the pen name. I e-mailed support to ask about this.

Hope AC gets back to you quickly. I've had communication with them, except for when they refused to delete my profile. I had two authors on one book, but I didn't try adding it to two author profiles, so hopefully, it's allowed. I remember when I co-wrote a book with someone once I had trouble adding the book, and I think I just gave up on it cos I didn't care that much.
*dances the happy publication dance with Cora*
And hurraaays on new words for both of you.

Thanks, K'Sennia Visitor . 2588 words today, plus I finally persuaded Amazon to give me an Author Page for Richard Blakemore and myself. Richard now has a blog, too, though there isn't much content there yet. Now I only have to persuade Smashwords. |
