Musician, writer, progressive. Retired guy. Outgoing, gregarious recluse. Skeptic. You can find my books on Amazon if you spell my name properly.
Please sign me up. I'm a guppy, or at least I was last year. I don't know if I've rejoined the group when I rejoined SinC this week.

Abandoned fiction? No, certainly not. I do get grumpy from time to time. But I've just finished the edits on two new mystery novels. Not sure how soon they'll be available. Maybe as soon as June.

Thanks for the memories....

That looks promising, thanks ... but after I select it, it appears nothing has changed.

The reason I keep giving it up is because devising a solid plot is NOT a gift I have. Plotting is hard, and more often than not I fail. I have wonderful characters and smoothly flowing scenes, but the big picture is a mess, and wrestling with it for days I don't find a solution.

I don't care much for the bluesky interface, so I spend almost no time here, but here I am.

Thanks. I emailed him last night, but no reply this morning. Assuming he's somewhere in Europe, he has had all day to notice the email. (I'm in California.) I'm hoping he will respond.

The download page on their website still shows 2024.1.2. I'll give it a try again tomorrow.

Thanks. That seems to work. As Sherlock Holmes once said, "It's child's play once it's explained to you."

Where do I drag? I tried dragging yours down, but no matter where I click before dragging, nothing works. (I'm on a PC, not on my phone, if that matters.)

I loved "The Night Circus" until I got to the end and realized that the two men who trapped the lovers were just plain evil and were never going to be punished for what they did. That kind of put me off.

I have occasional word-finding issues (not often) because I'm old. That doesn't stop me. I lose motivation when I start to feel nobody gives a darn about what I'm writing. Currently I'm staying motivated by working hard to write something commercial. Money is a good motivator.
