Dear Readers and Authors,

The following authors submitted their Short Stories for this Thanksgiving Event.

ACFan submitted his migraine-inducing story called TaDaoaSMiSwtbInkIhtIfotPD-AC. The name alone gave Santa a headache. Why the extremely long title, twice as long as TSL's longest title? ACFan decided to write a Short Story that tackled all of the event's themes, and somehow he succeeded. It is worth a read.

TSL submitted another one of his alcohol-infused submissions that again featured Wild Turkey prominently. Yes, both versions of Wild Turkey. TSL swears that no Wild Turkeys were harmed during the creation of his Short Story. Oh, you want to know the title hang on a sec while I consult the Library of Congress. Oh yeah, here it is Thanksgiving At Denny's® Again! ~ TSL

I apologize for forgetting to post this on time, however, the EggNog has been flowing freely here at the North Pole.

Happy Reading,

Dear Readers,

This may or may not be the news that you want to hear, however, it is what it is. Or as would say, "Que Sera, Sera!"  I was doing some plotting/planning the other night, actually around 2:30 A.M. of Chapter Twelve when I realized that I had screwed up royally. I was introducing things into that chapter that either hadn't happened yet, hadn't been built yet, or... Well, hopefully, you get the point.  So, for now, Chapter Twelve has been renamed Chapter Fourteen and has been put on the back burner.

I am now working on Chapters Twelve and Thirteen subtitled Project Obfusco. If you would like to get an idea of what those chapters will be covering, then I suggest that you go back and re-read Chapter Eleven. These chapters will add a lot of backstory, construction, and detail that is necessary for Chapter Fourteen and beyond. 

I apologize for even another delay, however, this isn't my fault it is all Alexander's fault. Okay, Chris and Jane share some of the blame as well.

Happy Reading,

TSL

Hey all;

Just an update for those of you wondering about the future of the CSU.

We have NOT given up on it! Real life jobs going crazy, on top of a few of us suffering from medical issues that have had us in and out of medical care, has limited our time to write considerably. Personally, I just had circulatory issues in my leg save my life, as when I went into the ER they found that a viral infection had caused major fluid buildup around my heart - a VERY bad thing to find! I'm recovering, and they are pretty sure that I'm out of danger, but that still is affecting my stamina and how long I can sit in one place.

I have been doing my annual review of my own writings - the best way I've found to not only keep the characters fresh in my head, but to also watch for things that their later actions might cause to happen. The storyline for Brotherhood of Love is an example of that, as DJ and Tanner grew into the positions that they now hold, and they have started passing that on to their own new family.

Currently, while I do have some partial work done on multiple stories that I write, I don't have anything that is ready to call it a chapter. There are a couple that I want to wrap up the current books on before I start Memories Book Four, and a couple that I've decided can run alongside it. Brotherhood of Love is probably going to run as a companion to Memories Four, while CSV-DSM needs to close Book 2 and prepare for a Book 3 that will tie it in better with other resources in the Midwest region. there's a lot to juggle, but it is falling together in a way that makes sense in the long run.

Keep your eyes open, because there will be more coming!

Also, I did manage to write a submission for the current writing challenge, and yes, I did the one that covers ALL topics! Call Antonio for temporal tranquilizers once you've read it!

Dear Readers,

I have been remiss in not telling you that our newest author Watz was injured in a car accident several weeks ago. He received some shattered glass in both of his eyes. I am happy to announce that he is fully recovered and that his vision is better than before the accident. He no longer has to wear glasses and that must have made him very happy. I know it would make me happy.

When you drop him a note about The Draycott Boy, wish him well as well.

Happy Reading,

Dear Readers,

You have an early Thanksgiving present with this week's Feature Author, Art West and his many stories, including the Major Family Saga/Universe.

Art is in the final stage of recovery from some pretty severe illnesses and multiple surgeries. So please let him know your thoughts on his stories, and drop him a get well email as well.

If you can spare a dollar or two that would be an awesome way to keep the site up and running. Just click HERE!

Dear Readers,

I reposted my Short Piece of Prose Dear Mommy & Daddy, as I added an image that I believe portrays the emotion behind my writing.

Please let me know if it conveys the emotion correctly.

Happy Reading,
