~A Bitter Swallow~

So, I decided one of the issues I have with my writing is the fact that I'm making most of it public for everyone to read. This makes me more nervous and unhappy with it. Yes, there is a way for me to keep it private. But I like to just put it out there once it's written there. The private area is hard for me to go back into and edit/work on later. Just like this one is. But I never write anything on here that I need to think on and come back to. Nor do I have any reason to keep them private :)

To remedy this, I decided to move all of my stuff over to Microsoft Word. I was reluctant to do this before, because I was afraid of my computer crashing, and losing everything. Or not being able to get into Word. Or using another computer.

I made a deal with myself that anytime I add, change, write, etc on that story- I will save it on the website. If I change any of the ones I've already posted, they will be reposted in their updated form. However, there will probably not be anything new for awhile. Everything else I will save in the private area, so that if something does go wrong with this computer, I will still have access to everything I've done.

But that is aside from the point I originally came here to write about. While going through my website and transferring these files over, I came across an old story I was starting to work on. It was my main story before Bone&Silver. It, too, is a good story. But a bit risque, which I think is why it was so easy for me to switch over all my energies to B&S. After seeing it again though, I feel those neurons firing up again. I suppose I will be going back and forth between the two. Hopefully I won't start getting them mixed together!

On another note, I also noticed that when I go back through and do the spell check on my website- it's not saving the changes I made. I type rather fast, but my spelling gets horrible when I'm in that zone. So I rely on the spell checker to work for me, so that I don't have to worry about that proofing. Apparently that isn't the case anymore, so I apologize for the horrid spelling and grammatical errors. They shall be remedied!
