Well I just discovered that just as you can't reply on posts older than about a month, you also can't edit them, so unfortunately inserting links will not be possible...unless you're aware of another way? Well, now I truly understand how the Blockchain is forever!
Boy do I ever know what a labor of love is. The novel I was seeking your advice for, which actually turned into two books, took me over three years to produce and I spent more time with my characters during that time than I did most of the real people in my life! I laughed, cried, fought, and struggled alongside them, thrilling moments when a part of the plot fell into place and I danced with joy, agonizing moments when nothing seemed to want to work together, then victory dances when that was overcome, haha! A rollercoaster ride of epic proportions, and I have to tell you that I love talking to someone who knows what that means and feels like! I can tell Alarm Clock Dawn is a labor of love, there is just something about books that the author is heavily emotionally invested in that comes through, as a reader I develop a connection to characters from such stories much more quickly than others.
I will definitely look through Charlie Shrem's posts, thank you for the tip!
As for The Playground Series, they are short stories, and the first time I ever wrote anything in the first person. If you're interested, and when you have time, definitely no pressure or presumption on my part! I appreciate every moment of time you've taken for me.
I'll also include the link to the last one I posted as that contains links to the previous episodes. Episode 1
episode 9
Thanks again eric!
My pleasure! I think you're correct about not being able to edit the older posts. I can totally relate, ACD, took me a total of 8 years, off and on. Writing a novel is like bootcamp and totally emotionally draining if you're putting your heart into it. I'll take a look at your short stories later today. Enjoy your Sunday and feel free to reach out at any time with questions.
