Working on Driven Heart Ch. 15. Luckily most of the shortcut keys are familiar once I rest the program to function like the older version. Takumi's P.O.V. is flowing easily from my finger tips also. It will be an interesting chapter once I get the feel for the nuances of the new program.

Although semi raw, I posted Chapter 14 of Driven Heart. I am having to learn a new writing program since the old version is no longer compatible with Windows 7 even using the compatibility wizard. As of yesterday, grammar and other tool checkers flat stopped working. I apologize for any awkward sentences or run ons that might be found in the text for the moment. Once I get a better handle on the new program, I will be sure to revise and replace the Chapter 14 section. Thanks for everyone's patience.

Went and bought new writing software. Have it installed now. Time ot learn the new shortcut keys. **Facepalms** I hate it compatibility for older programs start pahsing the faves out of commision on purpose!
-
I am absolutely infuriated with Windows 7 at the moment. It has decided my writing program is incompatible and has locked me out!!!!!!!!!!! Talk about viral mouse supported arrogance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Navigate to the executable, right click, and set the compatibility mode to XP or earlier. That'll fix the problem
-
Sadly I was running the program on compatibility issues earlier since I've had the program since Win 98 second gen. The latest defender update has decided that if I roll back I can't get online, so I had to go buy new writing program today to keep the computer working. >
I totally hate having to learn new shortcut keys, yet I will never use Word cause it doesn't have my fave options.

*Head desk x5* I have no idea why, yet my muse has gone into deep cave hiding. Looks like I must use Japanese mythology to get it out of the cave now. Even my vile lil plot bunnies are limp for the first time in 5 years.
So disgusted right now. -
kurahieiritr came about because I am an on again and off again internet user. My hardcore recluse moods are to blame I suppose. I can go two or three years off line, so I have lost several screen names because I was not paying some internet carrier for service. When I whipped up this screen name, I was into watching Yu Yu Hakusho. Kura as in Kurama the demonic fox, Hiei being the fire demon, and I am a writer of course. I can have a very demonic temper cause I am Irish/Viking/Amerindian with genuine red hair that truly does reflect my inner passion. So subtle spinning of the demonic tone from Yu Yu Hakusho seemed appropriate. In the main archives here and at FFnet, I added JIO which are my full name initials for Josie I. Oden. Please do not make Josie & Pussycats cartoon cracks about my first name. I've been hearing the oh so very tired list of wise cracks since the 1970's. I have used this screen name, or azdesertlupine for several years and can't recall the majority of names I have abandoned since the early 90's. azdesertlupine is Arizona Desert Lupine, an endangered subspecies of the equally endangered Kincaid Lupine class of wild flowers found in the Saguaro National Monument West and the Ironwood National Monuments around Tucson Arizona. It was the first 3d beaded floral sculpture I ever designed.

My desktop changes with whatever specific fanfiction I am writing at the moment. For now I am using an Initial D fusion of two different Manga book covers that I merged through Paint to create a semi-romanticized feeling desktop background to inspire my plot bunnies at all times. I always hide my desktop icons and such so my screen is the picture alone. I uploaded the picture since I do not know how to do the whole screenshot deal at this time.

Wow, there are so many diverse reasons for ever shifting sigs. Mine is simply my fave joke about my own fanatical writing addiction. I blame my plot bunnies as being whip cracking fiends due to my frequent writing sprees. Then I list the various places where my works of writing and/or artwork can be found. Since I do frequent updates and such on those sites, they got added to the sig for everyone's convenience when they bother to read the link info.

A: I for one saw a guy holding some woman's trash can when I read it. It is very amusing to see correctly spelled typos. I am notorious for producing such typos that are spelled correctly. I kind of have to rub the back of my head and pretend not to *facepalm* as the anime fans tend to say. One of these days I should dig out some of my correctly spelled and completely wrong word used typos to share

I made headway on Chapter 14 Driven Heart. I also did more editing for Ryan's novel. I actually feel like I got something done today, drivvel and all.

Initial D Yaoi Keisuke x Takumi- Rivalry Revealed Series
Kurahieiritr replied to Kurahieiritr's topic in Yaoi-Male/Male
Chapter 13 of Driven Heart is posted. Chapter 14 is fairly close to the rough post acceptable status also. Thanks for the feedback Raymy. I am grateful for your idea to help get Keisuke's inner chaos coming across better. I hope to have chapter 14 up in the next 48 hours. -
Who else in this forum has days where the muse is never satisfied with anything written? It all feels like blah, blah, slop when you read it over.

Author: kurahieiritrJio Title: Driven Heart; Prequel to A Rivalry Revealed Series Summary: Determined to put his gangster past behind him, Keisuke joined the Red Suns with a dream of becoming a professional race car driver. Yet everything Keisuke has planned for his future starts collapsing when Ryosuke sets his sites on conquering the Akina Speed Stars where Keisuke faces an unforgettable opponent. Feedback: I adore receiving concrete feedback that lets me know specific repairable story problems. I interact with reviewers in my review reply thread for all my series posted in the Initial D archive, or in PM when reviewers prefer to contact me in that way. I am doing revisions on the rest of the series and replacing chapters because of previous reviews I have received. I have put the URL to the review replies and chapter updates at the bottom.

Oh yeah!!!!!! Evil grins. Gotta love it when you read about one hot guy standing at attention for his wet dream of a date. Evil manic pervy laughter ensues.
-
Pittwitch, I concur completely with your brilliant response. Naked and sweating truly is the best part for all concerned. :clap:
-
I am back to working on Driven Heart today. Hope to get Ch 14 finished by evening, or at least ready for a revise and post tomorrow.

Ch 14 is partially written. Sadly, I now have a migraine starting and can't think straight. Oh well, I will finihs the raw soon s head stops pounding.

Wow! I've been here for a couple months now, and completely missed this thread until it finally popped up in new content. Waves welcome to the newest forum peeps. I see a number of Yaoi fans giving shouts. Hip Hip Hoozah to you all. Reading or writing about really hot men getting nasty with other sexy men truly is one of life's greatest pastimes. Suppose I should give a quick rundown on myself to stay on topic. I am Kurahieiritr. I am moving all of my fan fiction to AFF.net from FFnet because I got tired of inappropriate behaviors from the underage sector that haunts FF.net. I have the same screen name on both sites. I got hooked on anime thanks to the multitude of teenagers hanging around my home daily over many years. With all the kids entering the real world of late, I have extra time on my hands to focus on writing. During an average week I will write, revise, and post 3 chapters to one of the two ongoing stories I have posted at AFF.net. I have actual educational training and workforce experience in the Print Media/Publishing industry. (Psychology/sociology was my college minor to diversify in the work force) I was an editor/writer for a decade before a catastrophic stroke put me temporarily out of business. After recovering my wits and bodily functions, I went right back into writing as therapeutic rehab. I am focusing on anime fandoms for retraining myself in the necessary techniques. I leave toned down concrit reviews at the end of any story I read in hopes of helping other writers who say they wish to improve their own work. I know that few writers can handle a full blown editor's line by line breakdown, so I stay out of trouble by keeping my reviews limited to a "please use grammar/spell check features" type comments in the majority of cases. I am always happy when I come across other writers who have a thicker skin which allows me to swap beta services.

Initial D Yaoi Keisuke x Takumi- Rivalry Revealed Series
Kurahieiritr replied to Kurahieiritr's topic in Yaoi-Male/Male
I am finally back to working on both temporary hiatus stories in the Rivalry Series for Initial D. Added a new chapter to the Prequel story, "Driven Heart" this afternoon. I am going to focus on getting that novel out of the way for the next few days. I apologize to readers of the 4th novel, "As the Smoke Clears" who want to see new chapters ASAP. I will get it completed after I find the dratted notes I have misplaced. I had a very specific setting in mind and I can't recall the specifics without my little notebook. Never fear, I will find and get Smoke caught up soon. I may even have a 5th novel to write the way the stories keep writing themselves one after another. However, I will return to my write the novel before putting it up as completed habit. Thanks so much to all the people who have read and reviewed my stories to date. I genuinely appreciate every drop of concrit feed back I have received. -
Finally got Driven Heart Chapter 13 written, revised, and posted today. I feel so much better now that I am writing again..

It sure does. I do not jest when I say I get withdrawals. I was having them for 6 weeks as I did nothing but revision and posting. Shudders in memory.

I have discovered what you may already know. Editing spawns plunnies. A great many of them. I'm not sure if I should be editing or outlining.
-
Chuckles. I get a combination of the bunnies and plunnies. My plunnies are multitudes of unrelated animes. Thankfully, I have a knack for ignoring them in favor of getting the revisions done to spite all plunnies.
-
Some of my chapters hit the 5000 word range, about 11 pages. The people who like to read my chapters hate it if I write 3000, or 6 and a half pages or shorter, so I get yelled at. Then again, I think it all comes down to the specific writing style. My writing appeals to people who like character driven prose. A chapter will always reflect the values of the character. That will take a few extra sentences to make realistic. An introvert will have different type of chapter feel than an extrovert point of view will reflect. Most people do not write that way, so fewer words work for them. However, if I forget to ground the character inside every word, I am in huge trouble. ROFl.

http://www.theawl.com/2013/06/dox-dox-dox Everyone should read this article. It is long but holds great truth about the modern writing industry's loss of clout over a decade..

The most profound truth of modern publishing: "I actually think it would be possible for old-school print outlets to pay better if they wouldn't over-assign or if they didn't have super-fancy real estate in Midtown," Friedman said. "The notion that media is both a struggling industry and a glamour profession is totally ridiculous. If you're a struggling industry that's worried about declining advertising revenues, fucking pack up, move to Brooklyn, and stop triple-...
