Don't get to(or it it too I have a hard time telling the difference anywho) depressed. Everybody has good years and bad years, but if you let it get you depressed then it will seem all your years are bad years. So just keep your head held high and do what you can when you can.

Archangel: It's "too" depressed.

"Too" is an adverb.  It means either "excessively" ("too depressed"), or "also" ("Hand me that clipboard.  The pen, too, please.").  If you can replace it with either "very" or "also" (and still make sense), then you mean "too".

"To" is a much more complicated word that can be a preposition, an adverb, or the lead-in word of an infinitive, so no simple rule can be developed here.  Basically, if it's not "two" (the whole number just after one), or "too" (see above), then it's "to".

Don't know if that will help or not.

As to the substance of the comments:  I said it was "kind of" depressing.  It's also somewhat heartening that I've started off better this year than last... ultimately, it's just a number.

I can only do it because I was so far ahead at one point.  Now, if I don't get on the ball, we're going to have a problem come June.

Update for March 29, 2016:

Agent in Place, Chapter 1 has just been started.

I have no idea when you'll see any of this story.  It's a new, somewhat less serious story than I normally tell.  It will be more sexual, less grandiose.  This will return me to my mind-control roots.  Despite being less serious, this is still planned for a 4-book series.  (Yeah, I just can't help myself.)



The Woodward Academy, Year 6, Chapter 6: November is progressing slowly.

Eric Storm

Thanks.  I feel as though all of my stories of late have become "serious" and filled with major issues and blood, death, violence, etc.  For a while, I've felt a need to go back to the style of story that I wrote in the first chapters of CAMP: Ron's Journey:  Light-hearted, not terribly serious, and more fun.  (Only, hopefully, much better written.)

Of course, such a story is, almost by definition, filled with more sex. 

I do hope The Observers series (of which Agent in Place is the first book) will be a good one.  We'll just have to see.  Given only two and a half more books of Woodward for me to write, I have to find something to fill my time with...



Eric Storm

Only two and half more books to Woodward, NO. J/k. I can't wait until I have a little bit of time to read some of the other stuff you have been putting up.

Update for April 14, 2016:

Agent of Change, Chapter 2 has been started.

Update for May 9, 2016:

The Woodward Academy, Year 6, Chapter 7: December is finished, and with the reviewers.
The Woodward Academy, Year 6, Chapter 8: January has been started.

Apparently I forgot to note it, but both WAY6-6 and AOC-2 were completed and sent to the reviewers over a week ago.  AOC-3 will be starting soon.

As of today, I have written over 90,000 words this year.  I am now "current".  In other words, I am on track to meet this year's quota.  This is the first time this year that has happened.

That up date is WAY cool for us WAY readers.
