Re: Writing Status
Update for June 30, 2022:
Due to a toothache from hell that's making it impossible for me to concentrate on proofreading, the posting of AC-17 is going to be delayed. Hopefully only for a matter of hours, but it could possibly be the 2nd before it gets posted.

Re: Writing Status
Update for July 1, 2022:
Agent of Change, Chapter 17, has been posted to PRM.
Agent of Change, Chapter 11, has been made public.
Agent of Change, Chapter 18, is about halfway done or so, so has a not trivial chance of being ready for posting on August 1st, but I make no promises.

PS: I now have meds for my "toothache" (which is probably a sinus or ear infection). It's not gone yet, but at least I managed to get the chapter proofread...

Re: Writing Status
o.O I appreciate the sentiment, but why should summer writing be different from winter writing? (All three days of it, here in Hell, er, I mean Florida...)

Re: Writing Status
Fewer hurricanes to distract you, but the bugs always seem larger in the summer there. Hell is hell, but some distractions are more easily avoided than others.

Re: Writing Status
Yeah, about the hurricanes:
I happen to live just north of Tampa Bay. The last time a major hurricane (Cat 3 or higher) hit TB was in 1921. We don't really sweat hurricanes here much. (Which just means when that nasty Cat 5 comes through, Tampa's gonna be GONE, but... *shrugs*)
As to the bugs... I stay indoors. The bugs aren't yet big enough to chew through the inch of wood that makes up our doors. Any bug that can chew through the eight inches of cinder block that constitute our walls... you know what, if they're that tenacious, they can just go ahead and eat me. I don't think I want to live in their world.
Mainly, I have to contend with my mood, which right now is somewhere south of foul. I've been sick, had to deal with an idiot pretending to be a doctor, and just generally don't feel like there's a point to my existence. All of which means, I'm not writing.
Nevertheless, I appreciate your good thoughts.

Re: Writing Status
We just had a hurricane pass by us here,(hurricane Darby) and it had 40-50 foot waves flow over the top of one of the condo’s… destroyed the rooms in the building. Can look up on YouTube “hurricane Darby Hawaii†.
Pretty interesting to see how much damage there is.

Re: Writing Status
Yeah, I saw the video of the wave. Didn't see the damage, but I can imagine.

Re: Writing Status
Ours was downgraded from a cat4 to a tropical storm by the time it passed the island. Crazy shit. Home your writing muse comes back and the doctors stop being so shit.

Re: Writing Status
While technically that is true, I have only posted in the top like 10 people? And that’s not sayin much. I guess I’ll have to get my wife to call me a blotto now.

Re: Writing Status
You are the #7 most talkative forum member. Having said that:
#2 is Bridget.
#3 hasn't posted in 2 1/2 years.
#4 is dead.
#'s 5 & 6 are authors. Well... #5 says he's an author, but he hasn't finished anything in like a decade, so...
So... yeah, kinda puts your position in a little more perspective.
...what? #1? That's some asshole named "Eric Storm". Not sure who he is, but he REALLY can't shut up...

Re: Writing Status
As an infrequent chatter, I’m curious if there is a page listing the ranks or is it pure whimsy.

Re: Writing Status
It’s pure whimsy. Since when has Eric ever done anything logical. I mean, besides that one time at the place with that thing… was pretty logical I think. Of course there was booze involved! What kind of blotto would I be.

Re: Writing Status
Can do a user list search and go by number of posts to see ranks. Unless you are asking about a page that lists the number of posts required for each rank then I don’t believe so.

Re: Writing Status
No, there is no page within the forum that lists those numbers. The various levels were selected by me when I set up the site, but those numbers were basically arbitrary.
For the morbidly curious, the ranks are as follows:
Tipsy - starting rank
Inebriated - at least 10 posts
Wasted - at least 100 posts
Completely Blotto - at least 250 posts
Lush - at least 1000 posts
Needs AA - at least 2000 posts

What if we're sitting in the corner quietly getting shit-faced while giggling at everybody else? 🤔
