Celtic Bard: Blog

Sorry about this folks, but I did warn you that real life would be intruding on me for the next couple of months. I tried to get this posted several days ago but work and real life got in the way. Having said that, Rage-Part III: Candy has been submitted and should be up later today or tomorrow. This one is from Candy's point of view and shows what she was thinking the night it all went to hell at Exposé. It is going to be the first of at least two stories from Candy's point of view, the second is sexually graphic enough that I may only post it to SOL. That one is only just started and may be a while before I get it posted.

That is all for now, check out Rage III and hopefully something new will be forthcoming sooner rather than later.

I know, I know! I am overdue to post something I promised to post . . . again! Unfortunately real life intrudes upon my plans far too often for my comfort. Fear not, I have finally managed to get Rage-Part III: Candy entered into the computer between visits from out-of-town relatives, the entire golf world descending on the city, taxes, and work. I will try to get it submitted tomorrow; it is too late to give it one last read-through tonight. Consider this in the nature of an update for those who curse my slow posting schedule.

I know it is a week later than I promised some of you, but I was unaware that most of Rage-Part II was still in handwritten form and it took me a few days longer to type it up than I thought. And then I had to edit it. That being said, Rage-Part II: Outliers has been submitted and will probably be up by tomorrow, later tonight if the Webmaster is rockin' his magic tonight. Part II continues the story of the bouncer from Part I and begins the fantasy/sci-fi (not sure how to classify this one) elements of the series as well as gives some of you who wrote to me after Part I some satisfaction in the way of answers about FitzKiern's past and family.

Since my muse is still whacking me upside the head about this one, Rage-Part III: Candy is completed but in handwritten form as well. Meaning, I will have to type it up and edit it yet but I will endeavor to do that this weekend. Don't count on it being up on the site, however, until next week.

I really am trying to get back to the two open projects as well as getting more of In the Darkness Falling completed so I can start posting it, but my muse is a twisted wench with a mad-on right now about Rage. I will try to steer things in other directions, but Rage-Part IV is already in progress, though that one may have to only be posted on SOL given the explicit sexual content of it. I may try to edit it for Finestories, but I think that would defeat the purpose of the story. We will see.

That is all for now. Enjoy Rage-Part II and bear with me as I try to work through my muse's peculiarities.

I have just submitted the first story in a new series called Rage. Part I should be up by tomorrow and I will work on getting Part II edited and posted ASAP. It is about a bouncer who has a medical condition that causes him to produce the same chemicals that get released during sex whenever his body triggers an adrenaline rush when the fight-or-flight instinct kicks in. It first manifests when he saves his older brother from school bullies and makes him high as a kite afterward. Since modern man frowns upon berserker warrior types, he channels his rage into more acceptable avenues which allow him to feed his rage addiction. Unfortunately for him, his life is so much more complicated than he knew and a bad night at work shows him just how not simple his world was about to become.

I came up with this one while driving to my sister's house and listening to the radio. I can't for the life of me remember the name of the song (something metal, I think) but I know "rage" was in there somewhere and it was something about someone sending the singer into a rage. I have been working on this for a while now, taking me away from other things I would rather be working on, but the size of the anvil of inspiration my muse hit me with when sending this story to me was big enough to have crushed the car I was driving at the time. In other words, this one would not let me be. I have finished the first two stories in the new series and hopefully that means I will be able to work on other stuff now that they are out of my system.

I was hoping to have the next chapters of Future Distorted and Anomaly of the Fates out by now as well as more work done on In the Darkness Falling (the sequel to Enter the Darkness), but I have had no urge to pick those up because of my concentration on Rage. And, unfortunately, I am about to get really busy at work between the end of March and the end of May-beginning of June. I will endeavor to get one of the unfinished stories' new chapters out before then, but my muse has been a bit on the bitchy and uncooperative side lately. For some reason she seems to have a wicked mad on and Rage is the result.

That is all for now. Enjoy Rage and hopefully your favorite unfinished project will be out soon.

I know it has been a few weeks since I last posted something, but I have been a bit busy of late and Mother Nature has been a bit bitchy, causing the loss of ability to use the computer or even have lights by which to read and write. I am working on stuff, but none of it is in imminent readiness for submission. I do have something new that has been getting the most attention from my muse lately that I may begin posting perhaps as early as this week. I am also working on some of the stuff In Progress as well as projects that I have written about here previously, but none of that is ready either. So, as the title asks, abide in patience and you will be rewarded. That is all for now.
