  1. Anyone else ever just feel like pulling everything they have posted or is it just me?  I feel like it might just be me...  Hmmm...  Probably is...

      Yeah.  Keep fighting through it all.  I would say I'm surprised, but it's probably something everyone goes through.  And I don't think there's any good answer to fit everyone, just push through the minefield.

  2. Thinking of doing a penname change. Just feel like it’s time to evolve from the old CloverReef. I mean… I’ve been CloverReef for… about a decade I guess. It probably seems weird to some people, who are perfectly content identifying with one pen name their whole lives, but for me, as I grow and shift, how I identify tends to grow and shift too. 

    I do have a pen name in mind. But I’m debating whether I should wait until I finish posting my current chaptered story or not.

      In my not so humble opinion...  If you feel the need to change it, then that's something only you can decide, ultimately.  However, if you feel that you've worn out the name or that it's time to "grow", then wholeheartedly, do it.  The pen name should reflect some part of you within it, whether it changes every few years or not at all.

      I mean, you know mine.  It reflects me.  So, let yours reflect who you are :).  And, whether CR or something different as can be, people will find your works :).  As for now or after, if you feel the need to change it now, you always have my backing :).

  3. And now...  for the next five weeks, tough days ahead...  Lots of bad memories...  Not sure how much writing is going to get done on any of them now :(.

      I hate working nights, never get to answer people right away... :(…

      DP: Regarding morselized penis...  Disturbing...  Yet, once again shows how reality can be stranger than fiction...  And I have a great number of strange things the cops would suspect me as a serial killer for...especially with my search history...  And apparently being a writer only goes so far when researching Nazis...  And rape...  And getting away with murder...

      BW, I'm sorry to hear that :(...  It's good you have the great memories, though.  Still, I understand...  And sure, let's be tough together :).  :hug:.

      Thanks, DP.  Most of them can be run over, shot, and put through a woodchipper a la Fargo style...  The toughest one...  Don't want to lose that one :(

      Well, you know what I think of the review and your works...  And Yeah, wholly agree with PC's description...  Your writing, characters, and situations are well done, fleshed out, and intriguing.  Don't let...  that... discourage you...  And, as always, here if you need reminding...  ;).

  8. Well, first time for everything.  Here's to the first non-Original story I've done in a long time and first I've posted on here...

  9. ... How to tell when you'retoo tired to actually post a new chapter on here?  When you add the chapter to a oneshot and don't even realize it until you're actually awake again...  You win this round, exhaustion, you win this round…

    On a positive note, it's all corrected...  I hope...

      DP, no, no, no…  It’s the writers writing the villains from previous experience who have the most fun...  I mean <glances shiftily around>, no, I don’t have bodies in the backyard...  No, never…  I don't know what you’re talking about...

       Ah.  Yes, that can definitely be a problem when you’ve got into the minds of your protagonists…

      Lol.  Ah, the brick wall...  I've headbutted it a few times, but I think that might be the problem in my case ;)

  13. The biggest problem with proofing and editing is that I change so much!  LOL

    1. Tcr

      Tcr

      Since apparently I'm late as always (maybe I should have that as the title tag thingamajiggyjig)…

      First one I posted, took almost a year to do...  And every chapter I'm just like "Do It!  Do It!" (Yes, I put on the Emperor Palpatine gravelly voice and command myself to post) and still takes a few minutes of arguing with myself.  Now I'm just like  (curled into a fetal position in a corner) "There's a review!  There's a review!  There's a review!"

      As for editing and changes...  Yeah, been there...  Actually, going through a massive upheaval of one I'd like to get published...  Man have I changed (@CloverReef and it's all your fault!)

      And I probably don't have near as many tales of "Huked on Fonix", but I've seen some who've really needed an editor...  

      As long as you're having fun and enjoying writing it, you'll fit right in with the rest of us asylum escapees…

      (Really gotta work on my rambling...)

      Yeah.  Been there, done that, bought the summer t-shirt and ballcap in the middle of winter...  I think staring at the computer and having your mind blank is actually worse, at least to me...  (at least posted wrong, someone will still read it...  And be confused...)

  15. So, I think I'm absolutely insane (anyone know a five star hotel with a nice white padded room, those good suits that hug you, and dining arrangements?)...  One series I'm prepping to send for a publisher, two Halloween oneshots, four works on the go and posted here...  And another one I just started…

    Yep, I'm nucking futs!

      I'm pretty sure I checked insane on my registration...  Off kilter...  Bizarrely creative...  Must have missed strange.

      well now, so far, BW, you’re King of the Crazies ;).  Not sure how you do it all...   Hopefully the publisher's good :).

  19. Does anyone else ever just read a book and start comparing characters?  Or am I the only crazy one?  Admittedly, the toaster does tell me the Oven hates me, so maybe... 

  20. Sigh… trying to come up with a Halloween story without creating another multi-chapter epic.

      JayDee:  LOL.  I like your thinking, you’re promoted.  To what?  I don’t know, does it matter?  A valid point, I must admit.

      DP: Yeah, I know that problem well.  It’s why I have trouble making the oneshots… And usually make them around stories I already have…  Because (like Into the Shadows and Hunted), they become something else entirely…  And I kick myself because I have yet another idea that I have to work on…  lol...

  22. Well, the creative side just dive bombed into the ground with a nuke attached to it.  If onlybad news would stop coming my way...  Or RL would dive bomb into the ground...  Either or...  I'm not picky... 

  23. So, NineStar Press has offered me a contract to republish Ghost’s Sight… :happykitten:

  24. So the dark beast has struck again... My archnemesis, Self Doubt, is back... :( .  I wish he'd fuck off...  Jump into a fiery, raging volcano...   Or something... At least let me kick him in the nuts...   Just once...
