So many stories, so little time!

    There are so many great stories here, & so many great writers! It's great too to see what looks like a recent resurgence of interest, with quite a few new stories being added, and older ones revived.

    I'd love to be able to read them all, but I can't. There's only so much time, & my poor brain would get confused if it had too many stories floating around in it at once.

    So for now I'm going to stick with Okan's 'Dragon of the East', Sotek's 'Union of the Wolf' , Lissette's 'Of the Knight of the Crystal Tower' & Exuro's 'A Dance with Daedra'.

    I'm sorry about any other stories I've started reading & commented on, & plan to catch up when I can. We're spoilt for choice here

    I can relate to this wholeheartedly. There’s been so many times when I’ve had to say to myself that I’m spending more time reading other members work and not enough time on my own.

    That's when the little wolf whispers in my ear. “Look!!! There’s a new blog, go on read it…” Then another hour slips past.

    Yeah, it's nice being busy and I love the increase in writing. Being a teacher, I read essays a lot and man, has writing changed since I was younger. Seeing people create stories is great. I like that they are being creative. That they're doing something else besides texting or watching TV. I try to be encouraging, but it is hard to keep track of them all. 

    There are story blogs that I'm still discovering. Some very lovely ones.

    This has been a great release for me. I love that others are enjoying my writing, but I'm really just entertaining myself and I'm glad I've got a platform to do it on. I'm a professional with my own business, and occasionally write articles for health journals, so to be able to write fluff just for fun is great.

    No one should feel obliged to read my stuff on my account, I'm having fun anyway!

    Yay I'm on a list (that isn't trying to kill me)! I'm almost done with the next chapter's draft too.

    Too much good stuff; I have to limit how many stories I follow as well. I'm caught up on your story, Soteks', and Okan's now; Lissette your next! I saw Shor started posting for 'Of Blood and Fire' again, that's another good story I started following awhile back.

    I'm an engineer writing fic, lol, but it provides a great counterbalance to my typical mindset.

    Undead squirrel? Awesome!

    Yeah, you guys have written some great stuff, but it is hard to keep up. Fortunately for me, I posted part of my story on the Nexus forums a while back so I've been able to copy and paste into these blogs. But I had to write a new entry to keep up just the other day and quickly realized that I had a lot more free time last year! Yikes! Lol

    An undead squirrel name Scuttles no less. 

    @Exuro- take your time. Mine is a slow burn. 

    @Andrew - if you can get through my first chapter, you're set. It is long, but it sets up everything.

    I had a read earlier of your last post just to get a feel for it, but yes, I will start at the start I think. I like your writing style so getting through it shouldn't be a problem.
