The trilogy of early Devan stories is finally complete 🙂
You can head on over to my Web Shorts page to check out Devan: Deflowered, and if you missed them, the previous two shorts in the series as well.

Hope you enjoy them, and I’m finally feeling some creativity again. I’ll probably post more about that later. It’s been a long couple of months. Ugh…
A week off to rest, finishing the last of the things that needed done with the new car, and coming back today to reduced hours ( should be back down to around 40-45 for a while ) has me in much better shape.
I have the last story of the Devan trilogy for the Web Shorts page back from editing, and I’ll be posting it soon. I’m going to try to finish my Earth Day story, even though the contest is closed to new entries, because it isn’t quite Earth Day yet. I really hated missing last year, and I’d like not to repeat that. I’d overcomplicated the story a little, which is what kept me from finishing it in time for the contest. Now that I’ve pared it down, I’m hoping I can get it done in time for Earth Day.
Naturally, I’m going to try to get the next chapter of SOTM moving again, and try to get frikkin’ Lowborn finished so I can post it after all this time.
I’m on vacation next week, and I’m going to try to get back on track. Even though my hours at work have dropped a little, the last month or so have seen an exponential increase in daily aggravation. So, every hour feels like two or three.
Ugh..
Anyway, with a week off, I hope to rejuvenate and try to get back to writing and working on the website.
I upgraded a lot of the underlying software today. Appears to have gone off without a hitch. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Have that first draft of Devan:Deflowered ready for editing. I’ve just been too tired and beat down to do it. Should be able to finish that and get it posted next week on the Web Shorts page.
Otherwise, my focus for the short term will be the next entry in the Magic of the Wood series. I really hated missing Earth Day last year, and I’d like to avoid repeating that.
Just finished the first draft of “Devan: Deflowered” for the Web Shorts page here on the website.
Also have about 2800 words written on “Friend of the Wood”, which I hope will be this year’s Earth Day story for the contest at Lit.
So, after my long zombie period, I’m finally getting some writing done. Going to chill out for a little bit, and then get back to the wood. I’ll let Devan sit for a day or two before I go in to do my first pass edit.
Just took a very large step toward completing work on “My Worlds”
The backend utilities to update the Characters database are officially complete 🙂 This represented the biggest challenge and the most code in the whole of the “My Worlds” section. Everything from here out – from a coding standpoint – is simplicity.
Of course, I still need to go through and enter at least a decent number of characters for launch ( Only have five in there for now, and most of their listings are incomplete placeholders for testing purposes )
What’s left before launching the new section:
Add plenty of characters to the database.
Fix a decent number of maps and get them in the database.
Finish coding front-end display for “Danica Info”
Code back-end utilities for “Danica Info”
Update old docs, create a few new ones, and get them in the database.
Design the “Misc.” page front-end display.
Code back-end utilities for “Misc.”
Load the database for the miscellaneous stuff.
Going to take a little break, relax, and enjoy the accomplishment for a few mintues, and then see about finishing that third Devan story for the Shorts page.
