Well looking at the downloads I see that not to many people have read many of my stories or at least not from this forum. Am I bitter, well maybe a little, however that is not going to stop me from writing more stories and posting them. I am nearly through the 2nd draft of Sara and Dorothy case and do take my time to best clean each story up so that they are easy to read still I am not perfect.

Any how please stay tune for another case to come soon.

Well, I've been rather busy this last fall and winter...
(New apartment, painting, wallpapering, laying down floors... all kinds of fun... not to mention moving into it... )

There's barely been time for me to read a few of my favorites, actually.

Also, I use a Mac(iBook) for surfing from home, and it doesn't have M$ office...

That is good point. I guess I could post the stories in .txt format as well but it may loose some context when I use special text in the stories. I know that google has a reader for .doc documents.

You could post them as simpe .html files (don't use M$ office to generate them, though) or as .rtf?

How might I go about doing that as I use MS Word as my main word processor. Also how would I go about changing the doc to a html?

Well I am now back into the groove of editing. I got one story printed and triple spaced so that I can now edit before typing it again and then posting it. I am not thrilled about the story but when you spend so much time with one it starts to drag you down. HOWEVER the one I am in the first phases of editing (from notebook) is something I am really enjoying A WHOLE LOT. I hope to get both stories done soon and they should be posted soon as well. It just depends on how much the real world intrudes onto my writing world.

Well I finished writing the first draft of a four part/chapter story and am now on to the edit phase of many of my stories. If I can get these done soon with being distracted by witting another Sara and Dorothy story then I could get these out there soon (I hope)

Well I finished the 3rd edit and am on to the 4th edit of Sara & Dorothy Case: Trouble From China town.

This has been one my hardest stories writing and editing because I was not to enthused about it. So when I finally get it done I do hope people will enjoy it anyway as I did put a WHOLE LOT of work into it because of the nature of the story I had to change things around while editing to make it more sense for other stories in the Sara and Dorothy Cases.

Any way stay tuned to it soon coming to Planetfurry I am hopping before the month is over.

BIG UPDATE

I got an artist to do a drawing for me of Sara and Dorothy and it is pretty close to what I see them as. (am always looking for other artist perspective)
Anyway here they are

If you have read my stories you know who's who.

Well here is another story I have finished. This one I enjoyed a whole lot. I am not sure why that is so but I do hope you all will enjoy reading it as much as I had writing it.

well i liked it, i did find some continuity iisues, not with the story mind you but with some of the wording. all the word(well form what i could tell) where spelled right, just in some spots it semed to be jumbled or missing the word intended.

great story, great idea, allaround great.

Thank you so much. I have been trying to get it better and it seams the more I write the better i get at make the stories.

Continuity wise they are not supposed to tell a complete story I leave some parts up to the readers imagination.

Well last night before going to bed I finally finished the 3rd phase of my editing of my "4 chapter" story that I have been working for some time know. So know it is onto the last part before the story gets posted. I had made my self a deadline of getting this phase of editing done by the 31st.

Sometimes having a deadline is a good thing. I am going to set my self the deadline of having this story done by the end February. This next part is most likely the easiest of all as it is mostly just making the changes I have already typed.

So anyway look forward to Sara & Dorothy Cases, School Days Case #1522
to be posted as I finish each "chapter".
