I don't expect to be able to do much in the next month what with NaNoWriMo chasing me to get approx 1700 words done per day.  I'm going to use Chapter 1 to Chaos Theory as the starting point of my soon-to-be novella (hopefully), so if I won't have time to spend reading and commenting, I will at least have some updates to make.

Speaking of which, if you haven't read them yet, check out my two latest stories.  The first is a request from Brandi called Hidden Consequences.  Anyone who's seen or read Interview with a Vampire will see the similarity in the way the story's set out, but I promise (and Joelle will be happy with this) that that's where the similarities end.  No vampires here.

The second is, of course, the prologue and chapter one to Chaos Theory.  Just hover over the title to read the blurb for the story.

 

Authors I adore!

Alice 'Muffin Girl' Smith is just incredible. What else can I say about her?

Becca Lusher is quite simply amazing.  I don't know how she writes so much, but her fingers are gifted, in both quantity and quality.

Brandi L. Weaver is one of those I've met since I got back to Elfwood.  And she helped make it all worthwhile.  Check out "The Hunted" if you want something to read.

Caitlin Waggoner’s series Of Fencing and Facepaint is addictive. Highly imaginative, some great characters, and a never-ending plot.

Chris A. Jackon has already been linked by half the people on Elfwood; if you're one of the few that don't know him, you won't regret it. It's easy to see why he's published.

Damien R. Tauri was one of my first and best friends on Elfwood. Although he's been absent for some years now, Black Things and Meal of the Day are great reads.

D Joelle Duran is perfect, as a writer, commenter and friend.

Jamie A. Hughes is one of the best editors I've found here. Luckily, her skills on others' writing translates to her own - she never fails to amaze me.

Jessica Andreotti's series 'Jacob’s Tale' makes for some compulsive reading. But she has so many excellent stories up you'll get lost within minutes of entering her library.

Matt Summers is both a mod and a writer. And he’s excellent at both.

Patricia *Bunny* Saw is an amazingly creative Aussie teenager (nice to see another one in the woods). It’s hard to choose a favourite from her pieces... perhaps 'Borne Away' or 'Such Resolute Faith', but they really all deserve a mention.

If I forgot anyone out or left out a nickname that you want in your name, drop me a comment and I'll correct my mistake.

As a last link, I fully recommend everyone to visit Arin i Asolde's LiveJournal.  She's an actual teacher, who writes a minimum of 1000 words a day, but on top of that, leaves a rant once every day or two on some aspect of writing, whether it be 'escaping Tolkien clichés' or 'making an ordinary person your hero'. Besides being humorous, they help a lot in writing more realistically and escaping those clichés so often prevalent.

Your stories rock and you are a fantastic writer. You are going to be on one of my watchlists for checking updated stories. I'm really curious about what you do on the other side of the world. From 2003-2004 I taught English in northeastern China, and this fall I'm going back for about six years to study and teach, and I'm really curious about you.

I love your description in Behind Blue Eyes. It's a lovely piece.
I wanted to thank you for your tips, I would have responded in the tips, but am having a bit of an argument with the Extranet and my library account... I've been considering fleshing Ocean's Peace out more. It was quickly written for a contest on ElfTown and inspired by my husband's music, specifically two pieces, Ocean's Peace and Rose.
Here is another that was written for the contest, a different prompt though. http://elftown.lysator.liu.se/_Burning%20The%20Unknown I'll be getting it in my library, I just don't know when...

Wow... if you get Christmas wishes in here in 2007, I think that will be a new record -- three years of christmas wishes on one page!

I hope you come back to us now and then-- you're missed!

Happy Holidays!

:-) Ben Cameron replies: "I'm not sure whether that's something I should strive for or not 2 I managed to complete my second novel this November with NaNoWriMo... if I get around to editing it, I might become active again on Elfwood.

Thanks for dropping by, and happy new year."

Merry Christmas, Ben! Wishing you all the best in 2007. =)

Hey - we used to know each other a few years ago, until I dropped off Elfwood (and apparently you did, too?) I was wondering how things were going with you, and what in particular I should read. I'm going to head over to Hidden Consequences and Chaos Theory like you said in your bio, but was just curious 2 Hope you're doing well!

:-) Ben Cameron replies: "Yup, I remember you. I sort of dropped off from Elfwood, came back, dropped off again and still trying to work up the impetus to come back.

What to read... to be honest, I don't know what's in my library any more. At the very least, everything there is at least two years old. But I'd say Hidden Consequences for sure, and not to worry about Chaos Theory since I wrote the entire story 14 months ago and have still only edited one chapter of it..."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BEN!

I hope you have a great day and a lot of fun!


If you happen to see this note--swing by my art page when you have a moment. I think you might be pleasantly surprised as to who's showed up to pay me a visit lately!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, Ben! I hope it's wonderful and that you get a chance to kick back and relax. =)
