Thanks guys! I’m looking forward to my writing block to lift so that I can continue writing. Or rewrite: who knows

Great to see you again. Time to tell us more about Tamara’s life?

I might manage to finally write Meaningful Gifts this year, so you might have smut from me before the year ends.  Fingers crossed, everyone.

There are lot of ways to run such a site, so my point is not it must be run like a social media management operation but more that you need to think hard about update frequency you will manage in the long run and design the contents of the page based on that.

A static site that promote self published books might be better if you don’t think you can keep a steady flow of updates over time. One way to have steady stream of updates is of course to publish new books or chapters...but that takes effort too.

I also think it is a good idea to look at sites for authors you like can give you an idea of what you are aiming for.

A website with a steady stream of new posts can be good for promotion, but it is also damn hard to keep such going if you don’t get interactions from the visitors.

Great with an update...I was not about to send a “are you dead” message, but was seriously considering sending a question your way since I was worried.
As for all your planned projects...might be good to focus on the story that provide the least writing difficulties. Your list of stories in work sounds like a massive commitment if you shall do it on fixed schedule.

@Thundercloud They know the secret handshake.

Wow...a button here on AFF to remove reviews on AO3!

As a software developer I am suitably impressed by the dragons that runs this place...

Thank ‘ee! I was going to get around to it at some point, just been a ways busy, thank ‘ee twice, in fact!
 I have to admit, the one bit where they take the line “ Saxon had grown a little bored of being in the kitchen, although like most dogs he was capable of lying alone for hours, dreaming of chasing rabbits today was just not that day.” and added the bold text, well, maybe readers really really needed to know that the dog wasn’t dreaming of rabbits right on that day. I like to imagine this creative soul, hard at work, maybe chewing a strand of hair and them BAM! inspiration strikes and those six words flowed onto the page.

Depends on how much you need to rewrite later...

Very important to know when things are real and not something we imagine. Sorry to hear they don’t have easy way to fix the issue, but medical science advance so who knows what might happen in the future. I hope things will improve for you even in the absence of a cure.

Good to hear that things have improved.

Decide on your preferred age and each time you have a birthday you turn into your favorite age again. There is risk that eventually your chronological age eventually will intrude on reality by giving you physical traits that does not agree...but then it is just to remind yourself that mental age is what counts. A friend has the explicit goal to turn 50 without becoming a grown up...seems to work wonders for her state of mind.

Myself I have decided to stay at the age of 42-ish for quite some while. The COVID year should not count...

10k words is still a very respectable length for a chapter.  No wonder it has taken you  time to get the ending written. An obvious plus side of more chapters is also that you get more reviews...

Sounds like it will be a looooog weekend for us waiting for the conclusion. :-)
