Mommy and "The Oncoming Storm"

[d8rkmessngr]

Sometimes, it's really hard to sit down and write.

Sometimes, I feel like "Why bother?"

But I reread all your wonderful words of support...

And I pick up the pen again.

Just wanted to say: to my lovely readers, you thank me for writing "The Oncoming Storm", but I am thankful for you for reading it. Your feedback astounds me still. They uplift me when really, I want to cry because the words aren't coming out right or fast enough.

The sequel is never far from my thoughts. Sometimes, it's intimidating to write it up against it's sibling TOS. But it'll get done. Proper, with all my love for the readers, for Janto, for this universe. I'll get it done. I promise.

In the meantime, thank you for sticking around, for recc-ing, for reading, for being you.

All My Love,
mommy

I am so excited. :D

Hey, did I ever end up sending you the link to the .pdf I did of TOS? I know I asked for permission to make it, but I forget if you ever ended up with the finished product.

Dude.
That's a sodoff great big huge file there.


And then sue wonders why I haven't made my own copy. Sweet Monkey Jesus.

I was focussing on SPAG, consistent font and formatting and making sure it was all in there in the right order. If you want to try to make it smaller, feel free.

Nono; I recognise that it's a sodoff great big huge file in general. The few times I've tried to put one together myself have actually managed to crash the computer.

And since I tried this on all three of them, you can imagine how much it takes to crash them all.

I had separate word docs for each chapter, and got Acrobat to combine them that way. I'd tried having doc files of the story in the past, but if I put more than a few chapters in a file it'd seize up on me.

I wasn't being snappy, by the way. If you do figure out a way to make it smaller, go for it. I know it's likely possible; it's just text after all, with nothing more fancy than bold and italic.

Oh yes! I'm staggered at all the work you've done for it!

Hey, no problem. It was a lot of work, but it was fun. Whenever I tried to put the whole of TOS in a doc file, it crashed my computer, so it was just a matter of my own convenience, more than anything. :)
