I guess I should mention my writing.

I've mentioned in my profile that I write fiction, and it's been suggested to me that I post some of my stuff here.  I don't know that I'd post anything big, but some of my shorter stuff is possible.  I have been known to crank out poetry, usually from the depths of depression, and have written (as mentioned in my profile) a few bits of fan fiction.

As a general rule, I don't care for fan fiction.  I've seen too many pornographic, badly written ones.  By badly written, I refer to both the story and the writing itself.  I don't care for explicit sex - a personal preference, I know - and I'd like all the spelling and punctuation to be correct, and I really do not want characters acting unlike themselves.  I once stumbled across one in which Harry Potter was coupled with Draco Malfoy.  My brain still hurts.  

Most of what I write is ostensibly romance.  I've gotten grief from jerks because many of my characters are Cherokee and I'm not, but I don't see a problem with it. Gene Roddenberry was not an alien, after all, and  I  research like a madwoman.  In fact, my current project is stuck at the moment on a very trivial bit of research, something I could fudge on.  Cindy could quite easily say "I think the place has been abandoned."  It's not even important to the story!  It's a bit of back story for a secondary, maybe even tertiary, character!

Anyway, I've already completed "Ghosts", in which Danny and Megan take their Internet friendship further.  There are literal and figurative ghosts running around.  The current project (Seventh Son) is actually a prequel to "Ghosts".  It's about Danny's mother connecting with her Cherokee roots. In the process, of course, she meets Danny's father.  I've got ideas for more Stillwater Farm stories, too!

I've been told my best work is a piece called "Regrets", which I may post here.  Some of my readers have clamored for me to fill in a twelve year gap between the main story and the epilogue, but I'm stuck.  Olivia won't tell me about those years.  (And if you've read "Ghosts", this is the same Olivia.)  I wrote another I'm hoping to expand into a Stillwater Farm novel, but I am really unhappy with the resolution.

That's what I write, besides this blog.  What I write seriously, anyway.  ;-p
