I want to wish you all a happy holiday season, whatever holiday you may celebrate.
Personally, I celebrate Christmas. I have always loved the Christmas season, the lights, the music, getting together with friends and family, and of course the presents. I like buying them and opening them. I even like wrapping them to a degree. I suck at it, but I usually turn on a Christmas movie and watch it while wrapping presents. This year it was "The Family Stone". I'd never seen it before and doubt that I'll see it again. Next year I'll stick with one of the regulars, "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation", "It's a Wonderful Life", "Elf", or "A Nightmare Before Christmas".
In case I don't post again before next Friday, I wish you all a Happy New Year!!!

Stories in the works - 12/21/2015
It's been too long since I've done an update. Sorry about that. November and the first three weeks of December have not been good writing months for me. I think that after Christmas I'll have more time to write. I though that I'd have more time after Thanksgiving, but I was wrong. Anyway, here is what I'm working on.

Heather's story
I am nearly finished with the first major revision. Unfortunately it will need a second revision. I came up with a lot of great ideas while writing the first revision, little touches that will make the story more enjoyable. The second revsion shouldn't take too terribly long (once I start it). After that it will be editing. I will probably start posting parts as I finish editing them.
I fear that the size of the story will intimidate people. I tried to keep it around 30,000 words, but it keept growing. It is now over 55,000 words. There are a LOT of transformations in it that I know people will enjoy, but I fear that it has become my "Heaven's Gate". (A long, bloated movie in the early 80s). I have no idea when it will be done. My avialable writing time has been none existant for nearly a monnth now. I'm hoping for more time after Christmas.
Behind Enemy Lines
This is a story for the winner of my contest back in September, blackbladder. It is about the hostile takeover of an anti-tobacco organization from the inside. I have most of this story finished. It is handwritten in a journal and I have half of that transferred to the computer.
