I know I know, you may have thought I'd forgotten, but I have not. A lot things were going on and loads of things wanted my attention. Now we have the holiday period as well. Busy busy busy, that's what we are!
I like to say a day should have more hours!
I won't keep you much longer with too much chit chat and I present to you that latest chapter in the SIW chronicles enjoy!
About Me
- Mokkelke/Tanja
- @ home, behind my computer, Belgium
- I'm a rookie writer enjoying the flow of words sprouting out of my fingers. Sometimes it goes easy, at other times it's a real struggle. I love and crave any kind of feedback, good or bad. I write when I can, but a husband, two kids, 4.2 cats (aging from 15 years to 4 months) do take up most of my time. Yet I found the time to try out something I never thought I was good at. I started writing. I came to love it and enjoy the new friendships I've made with fellow writers I simply adore (well I like the writers, but adore their work *grins*)

A New World Awaits.
Here we are with an update for NWA. I know these chapters aren't as long as SIW's but I like them this way. this is the 85% final version, I'll be sending it off for final editing but I'm already handing out a big thank you (with accompanied freshly baked cookies) to Jazcullen for working her awesome to the point magic, thanks sweetie!
If any has suggestions for plots or characters they are most welcome, I'm writing this as I go along so if I like the idea I might be able to work it into the story.
Now I'll be going ack to SIW for a chapter, so stay tuned for more soon!

Yay the update you'll been waiting for. More Chris.
Think the title explains it self. i know it isn't as long as the normal chapters, but it felt right to keep it as it is. You could see it as a filler, but a needed one.

Musings
I can officialy say chapter four for Chris in SIW has been shipped of to the editor for final proofing, once I get it back I'll submit it asap to Lit and upload it on the blog.
It was a bumpy road, a lot was going on, the halloween contest, the family getting sick(me included), the muse that got kidnapped by Jazcullens muse (she came back with a tan, so I hope she enjoyed her sunbathing and sipping cocktails at the beach time!)
Now I'll work on a new chapter for NWA. Slowly I'm getting back on track!

Halloween outcome.
I didn't win anything, but that's no biggie. I've enjoyed the ride and will probably join again someday.
The three that won had nice stories as well.
But as much as I've enjoyed this now it's time to get back to my Whelan brothers and Justin and Silvia. I've been neglecting both. Well not really neglecting but it seems my muse was kidnapped by JazCullen's and both our muses have headed of to the Bahama's sipping cocktails at the beach! Just hope they return pretty quickly and don't get up to much mischief, those two together....I don't even want to think about it LOL.

*Drum Roll* The new story starts here.
I'm glad I can finally give you the first chapter of my new story "A New World Awaits". This was aspired by Ho-Z, whom most still know as the overly cute man Pepper introduced us all too(I bet he's blushing already just thinking of all the attention she gave him)
This is the introductory chapter, it lets you see a bit of both main characters and lets you see a glimpse of their issues, desires and feelings.
A New World Awaits. Chapter One.
The lyrics used are from the following song :
I hope you all like this first chapter, don't hesitate to comment on it, the more feedback I get, the more I can incorporate into the story and make it better.
Big thanks to Ho-Z for making this little gem possible *big hugs*.
I will publish the story here first, this is the version I get back from my personal ace proofreader Jazcullen. She does such a wonderful job that I sometimes wonder why I send the piece to an editor afterwards *grins* she's that good. Anyhow I'll be writing this together with SIW, taking turns a bit, so I'm not promising updates every week, BUT what I start I finish, just bear with me and all will be fine, eventually.
Enjoy the exclusive read!
Cheers

Halloween update.
I'm so excited! The story is doing so well, at least for me it is. I'm getting nice positive feedback, public and privately. Also got the so desired "H" so for me the contest can't get much better. The two goals I had are met and it's only going for three days.
So now the rest of the month can be a rollercoaster, as well for me as for the other authors. I'm cheering for my girl Cedar, she isn't able to win but I sure hope she ends with a damn good score!! You go girl, you made a bad demon be so lovable, only you can make that happen!(and a hottie as well dangit!)
Now skip forward to october 29 and we know the winners!

Halloween contest entry!
Ok, I've submitted it just a few minutes ago and I'm putting it up here as well. Now crossing fingers, toes and legs it will get nice reviews. I am expecting a few that will say it's too short, but I like it the way it is.
If you read it here first, please do go to the Lit site and vote/comment there as well(make sure to stay on each page for a minute to make sure it's a valid vote, we all hate those sweeps they do at the end of the contest)
I really had fun writing this little thing, only took me one evening and then a day or two to work out the kinks and enhance the theme and incorporate some welcome feedback.

Work, work, work
Well can't really call it work because I enjoy writing. I've hinted here and there I'm working on another story as well. Those of you reading "Wheels of Steel" from Pepper Pace (click name to visit) know a nice young man, Ho-Z (click name to visit) has encouraged her to write about this. After a while we got talking and he "challenged" me the same way. I got intrigued by it and found myself being very interested in trying to write something that he will approve of.
Now I know I'm working on SIW mainly, but this story kept pushing forward in my mind so I decided to start writing it. I'll be taking turns, a chapter for SIW (those tend to be longer hihi) and then a chapter for "A New World Awaits". Those chapters won't be so long (can only make the story last longer to read ;-) )but it will make it possible for me to write the two at the same time. Only downside it that the updates on Lit for SIW may take a bit longer. As for the new story, once I get edited chapters back I will post them here on the blog first before submitting them to Lit and ER.
The "Archangel" story I started here may take a back seat for a while because of this, BUT I will finish it, that is a promise, I hate leaving things undone (and well Remedio is a hottie in trouble).
That's me done with updating the masses. I hope to finish the first chapter of NWA today or tomorrow.
Cheers

Chris's chapter
Next chapter is done, well almost, fine tuning it now and then it will be ready to be shipped of to my editor. In the meantime I'm working a bit on my other story 2/3 into the first chapter, going nicely, better then I would have thought.

Working
I'm about to finish the next chapter about Chris, I must have a thing for showers!
Been groveling all week to try and get this one done, but as they say there is light at the end of the tunnel, i just have to find that tunnel first.
Also counting the days towards the Lit, Halloween contest, I'm entering and getting scrutinized by all the others out there. I like the little piece I wrote, I see it as a sweet brief glimpse into the mind of someone. It's written in the 1st person, that was challenging as well(thank goodness for friends and an ace editor to pick out the the wrong tenses of my verbs!*big hug for them*) But the piece is ready and only needs to be submitted now.
Working on another story as well, together with Ho-Z, can't reveal much about that yet, but it's a challenge to get it right, one I'm coming to like very much. I'll be working on that once I'm done writing about Chris and the last brother,Ed. I know there should be two more stories to complete the SIW bunch, but they'll have to wait. I'm going to work on this little project first then. The fingers are itching already, but I won't start, yet. I want to keep my focus(that is sometimes already hard enough to achieve LOL).
Also if any of you find something that could be added to the blog or made easier/handier, don't hesitate to leave a comment about it. It's a continuous work in progress =)
cheers

Small update.
The next chapter for Chris just went live on Lit and ER. As you see I am uploading as fast as I can. I hope to be at the same spot by Friday. Then if I update on Lit I will upload here at the same time, meaning you can actually read it a few days before it goes live on Lit and ER. (Don't forget to vote though, we all love those little H's)
Chris' second chapter.

SIW on the blog.
I'm reformatting the first story and I'm slowly adding the finished chapters on the Blog. You can read it here as well, got to Lit or EroticaRepublica (advisable if you prefer to have it in PDF format)
Just check on the side bar for any additions. So far Chapter one and two are added, rest will come in due time.

Chapter 2 for Chris
Has just been submitted. Anxious to see what they make of that one. Chris ain't Nick ;-) and the story develops at a different pace. Also has other things to deal with then Nick and Fran had.

Halloween!
Halloween story is ready for submittal. Got it back from the editor today. I like this little piece I wrote, only needed a day to make the first draft which was 75% spot on. Thanks to my fellow guildies we scrutinized it and made the final version. I'll post it here as well once it goes live on Lit.

SIW Chris chapter "2"
I have it back, edits being done, but holding it for a few more days, I'll submit that one coming Sunday.
(Halloween story is at the editor as well, so it's ready for when that contest goes live)

SIW Chris : chapter "1" posted
It has been submitted a few days ago now. But it seems with all the hype around the summer contest "regular" posting are being ever so slow. I was aware of it, so I knew it could take a day or so longer, but now it is getting a bit ridiculous. I want my chapter live, like now!!
phew, that was a relief to get that of my chest. Now I can go to bed and sleep. Crossing fingers it will be there sometime tomorrow.
LOL I should have complained sooner. chapter one has just posted. here starts another roller coaster ride for me.

Writers block or not?
Well, not to be precise, rather the opposite. Every time I sit down and tell myself "Now I'm going to continue with Chris" my mind tends to drift off to plots for the other stories in this series yet to be written. Any got a Valium spare so I can slow down my brain only a little bit?

Moving onwards
Chapters 1 and 2 about Chris are at the editor. I'm crossing my fingers. Once I get them back I'll be posting them within a few days of each other.
And now back to writing 3.
And now back to writing 3.
Reworking stuff.
Phew I'm done proofreading 330 pages for a fellow writer. Now I can go back to my own work. Really had to put it on hold since she has a deadline for her first draft to be ready.
I got two chapters 'finished', just making some small changes before I can ship them off to the editor, after my fellow 'guildies' give their stamp of approval. (I'm a perfectionist at heart, but they bring out the worst (in a good way) and I want it even better)
I did find the time to work on a little short story that I will probably submit for the Halloween contest on Lit. Will be my first, already nervous and it hasn't even started yet!!
Oh sometime this week I'll load up the first proper chapter for Archangel. You all will get the exclusive preview to it, I won't submit it to Lit until it is completely finished, so don't hesitate to leave a comment/feedback on it.

On hold
SIW is on hold for a few days. I'm helping out a fellow writer rereading her manuscript before she has to present to actual publishers, they wanted her to shorten it. That was a momentous task and now she wants to know if the parts left out don't "down grade" the story and if certain things need to be put back. Means I have some heavy reading to do; 240 pages of pure bliss hihi.
Once that is finished I'm going to adapt little things in SIW, make it better ;-)

Unpublished work.
Phew, I finally figured it out how to make it work, but I got there in the end!
I've submitted a yet unpublished chapter of another story I am working on alongside SIW. You can find the link on the left of the screen. I will submit the rest here as well. I see it as a little token of gratitude for you all for taking the time to stay up to date with my work.
When this story is completely finished I will submit it to LitErotica as well, but it's a work in progress, SIW still having my main focus for the moment.
I hope you enjoy this first chapter and feel free to leave comments and thoughts about it. Do keep in mind, it's a prologue, I know a part of it may be hard to read but will not reflect the rest of the story.

Writing.
It's coming along nicely, chapter 1 of Chris is at the editor, two is finished and is in the last stages of getting the kinks sorted and chapter 3 is started.
I even found time and inspiration to start on a Halloween story, mostly likely it will enter the LitErotica contest, will be my first, so I'm a bit apprehensive about it all hihi. It isn't a long one, but I believe it's a nice moment in someones very very long lifetime. It was a joy to write.

Updates
I've updated the Blog a little bit. I've added my links as to where you can find me or stay up to date.
Added links to all the published stories. Think it all looks a bit better now, bit more filled out.

Writing, writing, writing.
Second chapter finished and third one started. I even found the time to write a short story in between for Halloween. Think I need to take breaks more often, my head is overflowing with ideas.

new adventures.
phew Finally have the first chapter finished of brother number two. Waiting for a bit more feedback of "The Guild" and then I can send it of for final editing and after that submitting to Lit.
On to chapter two now =)

Yay and we add even more to our "connectivity".
Phew and now I add a Blog. Not sure if it's a wise idea, but I thought what the heck? I might as well.
Hmm what did we do so far? Not much really. I've started writing again and although I consider myself a rookie writer with only on published story (so far) I was surprised I actually missed writing in my "forced" absence.
I feel my mind is literally overflowing with ideas for many of my characters, how I can let them interact and let their stories intertwine.
The details have to be perfect, conversations need to be the same when they appear in different stories (one of those overlapping ones), thinking about it all it hurts my mind that I want to be such a perfectionist about it. But I dare say, taking my limitations in mind, I'm not doing that bad!!
Is not going to put on the new "Eels" and hopes to finish the first chapter for Chris Whelan.
