I know people are chomping at the bit to have book II done. Well, I’m happy to say it will be done, I’m almost finished with the last chapter.

That being said, I’ll be adding a few other chapter to other stories long dormant for those people who have stuck with me. Most of these new chapters will be only for them for a while as I owe them some type of pay back.

Now, on to what I think everyone wants to know. The next book is actually roughly planned out. I’m not telling you much about it as Most of what happens in it I want it to be a surprise.

 

I am going to attempt to be more productive. It’s been a long time since I’ve put anything out. I want people to keep in mind, I’m a truck driver, It’s a very stressful job and a very time consuming job. It’s not that I don’t want to write, it’s that by the end of the day my brain is just about fried and I’m tired and have to go to sleep so I can get up in 9 (10 hour break, but you have to be up early to get food and such done before day starts.) hours to do it all over again.

 

When I do get a 34 hour restart, guess what it’s not a 34 hour anything, usually I crash and get up the next morning which means I have about 18 hours to do clothes, restock food, which I haven’t been able to do in a while, clean up the truck and again I’m exhausted and just wanna relax. It’s a terrible cycle and that’s the theme of my life now.

I took 3 weeks off last summer at Sir Winston’s place. guess what I was wound up so tight it took me pretty much the whole time to unwind. I got nothing done story wise and basically goofed off the whole time, there was a bit of work involved while I was there. I promised myself I wasn’t going to stay out for 6 months and such and let myself get wound up like that. I’m trying and I’m actually scheduled to visit SW this next month.

That is if i get out of the 3.5k hole I’m in because of the holidays and light freight. So, I’m pushing myself to do so. To be honest with those people who are still subscribed, even though I’ve not put anything out, you all have pretty much made it so I can survive out here right now. That $40 – $50 a month has been a life saver and I think you from the bottom of my heart. I will make it back up to you, that I can promise.

So, I guess that is pretty much all the news I have for now.

Changes…

February 20, 2013 in General Information, Site Improvements

I have Promoted Monkeynish, BMW and Cassandra to be able to pretty much run everything that has to do with users on this site. Just remember guys you have a lot of power that will be new to you and when in doubt, ask Sir Winston or me.

I have also changed some of the roles on other users as I don’t know what they have been doing or even if they’re interested in remaining active here.

Now, planning on the next set of books for Chronicles of Atlantis has begun as I am pretty close to finishing up the last few parts of book II.

Just a small update for everyone, have a good day.

Clean UP!

January 26, 2013 in General Information, Site Improvements, Uncategorized

I just cleaned up the User DB, 3880 users down to 630 or there about.

I know I probably got some honest people, however I know I didn’t get anyone with a subscription.

I have put into place a new way of letting people register, you now have to be approved…
This means if you use a name that even looks remotely like a spammer name like dskjhgflsd123241 or viag1200 or anything along those lines expect to get denied. Use something simple that doesn’t make you look like a spammer.

If you get rejected you can try again with a better name. I might make an appeals process for this in the future. right now I’m tired from all the deleting I just got done doing. Something else that takes away from my time for writing…

I’m once again going to allow registered users the ability to post replies and such to the site. I’m really trying to NOT go to a full on pay site…

Update

January 26, 2013 in Euthara, General Information, Site Improvements

Tales of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. I’m still alive and kicking.

I’m working on new chapters and a continuation of the Atlantis series. It is going very slowly though as I have very little time to write with work and all.

I’m considering turning this site into a paysite… now before you go getting all upset hear me out.

I’m getting tons of spammers and have pretty much removed all privliges from normal users as they can only read now. I have 3800 people on the user database and i know 3000 or more are spammers. I’m thinking of doing a you must register to even read on the site for like $2 a year. Of course there would still be levels inside the site but this should stop the spammers.

I’m asking those people who still are here what they think about this. Those of you who have stuck with me through thick and thin. I thank each and every one of you even though I know you have gotten the raw end of the deal because I’ve not put anything out in a long time. I’m working to correct this.

I’ve also take the store off line as it was having problems and until i can sit down and correct those problems it’s just an added headache for me.

Thanks for all the support please leave feedback on the $2 a year thing.

Finishing Touches

October 14, 2012 in Euthara, General Information, Site Improvements

Morning folks after spending the last three hours deleting stupid spammers has me looking for ways to stop it.

Anyway, I’m working to finish the last chapter of Euthara. No, I’m not going to promise anything. You all have to understand I have a very tiring job now and I can’t just sit back and write anymore. As much as I want to put a chapter out daily it has become very hard to even get a chapter in a year. When i get time to relax I take full advantage of it. I sit down and unwind, I don’t think about trucking or writing or much of anything. I spent three weeks at Sir Winston’s house and the first week and a half was me walking around in a haze. The last week and a half was me finally unwinding and then getting ready to get back to it.

I know a few of you still have subscriptions and have received nothing for this in the past year. I’m sorry for this and I am grateful you have stuck with me this long. I’ll work to get something out for you all.
