Richard is cleverly disguising his autobiography as fantasy.Wow! That was a lot faster than I expected. Which is a very nice surprise. I hope my very few faithful readers enjoy them. I have a few more chapters to rewrite and type, then submit.
Also, I have a story posted elsewhere. I think its considered fanfiction, so I didn't even try submitting it here. Genevieve is set in a MMORPG. The game is free, but they do ask for donations. "No cash? Submit an article!" So, I did. Enjoy.
January 2007--Well, Wyvern Project 5 is due on 31 January. When we started, it seemed so far away. Now, its so close. I doubt my stories will post in time. Oh well, its happened before. Maybe next time I’ll meet the deadline.
Its been a busy year. I started playing Medievia, a MMORPG. It consumed a lot of my time. Then, I took an online class through the local college, called “The Art of Fiction.” We tore apart short stories, looking for rhythm, flow, timing, characterization, plot, and other things. Most people took the class, like me, to help them develop their own writing skills. Then, there was a two week vacation out to my parents for a reunion. I picked up a part time job at the local hospital, in addition to my full time one there already. My son is in second grade, so he has science projects now, and social study projects, and more homework. My daughter is in kindergarten, with a little homework. And, today, my wife goes back to college full-time, along with working part time at Home Depot. *sucking in air*
That’s a lot. At least for me. I’m very sedentary. I’d be a couch potato, except I don’t have a couch in front of my computer.
I started “The Green Land” at work, several years ago, on my lunch break, but never posted it. Then, I got the invite for WP5, and was given permission to use it, since it wasn’t a completed piece yet. I decided I needed to go back and fill in some of the background story first. Seven chapters later, (five of which I’m posting 22 January 2007,) and I’ve finally reached the point I started at work so long ago. Its been fun, and just about over.
Thanks to my friends for their patience, and their impatience, prodding, goading, and whining. (Specifically you, Sandy. :P)
And thanks to the Mods for the Golden Phoenix Feather on chapter one. That was too cool!!!

If you comment on my stories, I will do my best to comment on yours. What I really crave is comments on internal cohesion. Did I change tenses, character names, holes in the story or unexplained jumps in logic, and other incongruities. Thanks for paying attention.

Then I got caught up in your tale... I'm intrigued! Hopefully I'll get the chance to see it developed, it certainly looks promising. I enjoy the flavor of the story, it stands out from the crowd.

I can only tell all the nice peoples who left comments; thus, you are one of the chosen few who gets to read it before it goes up on Elfwood (feel special yet?)
