Back From the Land of Chaos

Or Michigan. So I was gone for most of the month of July. Just got back this last Sunday. Weee!

My LiveJournal won't let me sign on, either the site or my connection. I'm blaming my lame connection. *shakes fist at Hughes Net* It's been like this since I got back, so I guess I'll be writing here a lot more. :)

I'm trying to get back in the groove of things--writing-wise. I didn't get anything fun like that done. I did read about six books while there though. Okay, I really don't want to sound like a tool, but, damn, my Kindle is the bomb. I couldn't very well lug around the Game of Thrones books could I? Speaking of, I put reading that on-hold. Lady Cat sucks and I do not even want to deal with her. Oddly enough, I traded off on reading between Michio Kaku and Josh Lanyon. What? Don't judge me!

So I'm thinking even just clacking away on this will help get me in the zone. It's helping. I don't feel like such a WOW zombie. Maybe after this I'll squeeze out a fan fic... Oh, speaking of, I stumbled across Transformer fan fiction. Slash. Sometimes with the pairing of Sam and Optimus Prime. Sometimes between the bots. See, and I thought Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles slash won for the most disturbing slash fan fic ideas I've ever seen. Nope.

What's in a Name

The more I think about it, the more I am leaning toward publishing stuffs, m/m or otherwise, under my real name. I mean, I like this name and all, it has sentimental attachments to it, but I think it'll just be a headache in the long-run publishing one story under one name and another story by a different one. Ugh. And anyway, it's not like I'm ashamed of my books, whatever genre they happen to fall under. I work my ass off for any idea and am proud of what I have created over the years, even the crap stories. Or whenever Lacey had me write for Demian. *shudders* Heh, no offense, Lacey.

It also has me feeling a bit like Dr. Jekyll. I don't know who I am anymore!! :P

However, saying that, I will still go by this name, since my readers know me by this one. I don't need to add to any confusion, do I?

"Jesus" Pronounced Backward Sounds a Lot Like "Sausage"

So, there is some exxxxxxciting stuff going on right now. Well, at least I think so. I'm finally getting off my bum and getting my whole CreateSpace thing up and running.

Yayz!

What does that mean? Well, for one thing, it means that AIF and all the other fun stuff is going to get pulled from Fiction Press soon. Also, that means I am going to have to seriously think of a new title for AIF, 'cause it doesn't make sense. Honestly, when I was writing the book I had had this whole scene in my head where something or other is likened to an indigo feather. And then I forgot what that something was, never to remember even an inkling of that thought, but never retitled the piece. Shhh, don't tell. Let them all think I was being artistically obscure. Or something.

I have some other ideas that I will be working on soon.

Fun times are ahead.

Links!

Hello all!

Just thought I'd tell everyone that, as of now, one can find some of my stories here: http://www.fictionpress.com/~cocoreed 'Cause I'm a dork and failed to mention that earlier...

ALSO, I have been looking around again on Createspace and what not and I don't think it is going to take me nearly as long as I thought to get things cooking on there. Which is sort of a big deal if I put An Indigo Feather up there. Just a friendly warning or something to readers.

Welcome

Years ago, I joined with a writer that goes by the name Lacey Grey on her website Gamble With Fate. We specialized in stories featuring lgbt main characters. I had just entered the genre and was able to evolve my skills and turn out some pretty swell stories. Sadly, college caused both of us to go on hiatus and soon GWF was closed.

I am back. It has been long enough and I think this is as good a time as any to start up my original writing once again. What say you? Ready for the complete works such as Blood Red Storm, or more of the New Earth Series? How about more Lyre Westreach?

Be patient. I'm almost ready to begin again.

Happy reading,
Coco Reed
