I've just finished a small revision of "A Charmed Life," cleaning up various errors in punctuation, continuity, and consistency. The underlying story is unchanged, this was more like a fresh coat of paint and a few upgrades here and there. I can't see making any other major revisions at this time.
When I finished ACL last month, I tried to express here in the blog how thankful I was for Graybyrd's help and guidance since February, but what I was writing never looked right. Thankfully he contacted me before I'd gotten too far into the story to change course; he also let me continue to make the decisions on where that new course would take Jeff and company. In fact, other than some early suggestions about Jeff's character, the vast majority of the suggestions he made while ACL was being written were related to the story's structure and not the story itself. I was able to find the writing style I did through his guidance, knowledge and patience. I look forward to working with him on my next story.
My last blog entry was also lacking any meaningful thanks to you, the readers. I am glad so many of you enjoyed the story. In reading some of the forum posts over on SOL, I have also been humbled by your recommendation of ACL to others. I thank you all for voting on the story and for emailing along the way.
Two of the graphics projects I mentioned in the last post are finished, being simple one-offs, but the third is more than just a graphics project and could stretch for some time. While I do have a good start on my second story, this blog entry is the most I have written in weeks. I hope to use a lull in the project to return to writing, however briefly.
