Well, I am back. Dingoleap phantomstar57 Mosspool mintedstar/fur ᴛᴜᴇsᴅᴀʏ Mᴏᴏɴ - - Katanaheart ~Sapphire~ darkfeather88 ✨ ιηνєяѕєяєαℓιту / everyone who has been here! As I have discussed, I do plan on moving on from Curse now and focusing on non-clans of the valley content for a bit. BUT I do have all of the chapters of Curse split up and on their own documents now, so this weekend I will be trying to upload the rest of the chapters and bringing Curse on Fan Fiction . net back to life with a weekly uploading schedule. Also, I have plans for doing a CURSE READATHON for Spring Break, but it might need to be pushed further back as A. I suddenly am going to the coast on the 7th? Haven't yet decided if I am going to go with my family or not. And B. I REALLY just need to focus on getting the Curse page back to it's original glory because it pains me to know that people can't read all of Curse at the moment. If you are curious, my two main projects for this month will be STARBORN and AN END OF GODS & DUST. Starborn is going to be at least 20 chapters if not more, and An End of Gods & Dust is going to be an 8 part short story. Nothing too crazy going on here, but both of them are a nice change from the Clans of the Valley series and I recommend both to my readers who have enjoyed Curse! (: I'm thinking May will be the month that DARK SIDE OF THE MOON will make it's return, and June will be the month the WANDERER gets posted for the first time on the forums. I may do some one-shot drops to warm myself (and readers) back into the world and these characters. I've been doing some expansive work on the history and lore of the Valley and there's been a few new stories with new and old characters that need to be told. Yes, one of them is a Darkmoon story. And yes, another talks about one of Shadowface's ancestors from about ~ 70 - 150 years ago. It's going to be fun. :'D AND BEFORE YOU ASK; yes I will be juggling all of this with 1. re-writing Curse into Evergreen, 2. Finding a job to supplement my income, 3. Trying to be more social offline and 4. Helping to move my parents and myself into a brand new house in about a month or two. I don't know if I can do it, but I have to try.

WB Shadow! One thing about writing is-there is always something waiting in the wings. . .I have two that I am trying to work on now, a third in rough draft, and a couple of others just mere notes in a notebook. Hope I live long enough to finish them all LOL
And that does not include the NEW BLOOD tales swirling in my head.

Why hello there, Shadow! Phew, that sounds like a lot, but I have every faith that you’ll manage!
As for moving house, well... as someone whose moved 11 times in 18 years, the absolute best advice I can give you is on each box, write what you put inside it! Otherwise when you unpack, it will take forever to find the things you’re looking for.

Trust me, nothing is more frustrating than desperately needing the laptop charger, or your dog’s vaccination records (or your own vaccination records), or that one specific thing that you really, really need but not being able to find it. While you’re pretty sure you put it in a box labelled ‘kitchen’, there there are at least ten kitchen boxes.
So yes. Label your boxes!

Alright so, of course, my internet connection has been acting up on my writing laptop. I do not have microsoft word on this laptop so I can't easily switch. I instead did some writing this weekend, which I can forgive myself for.
Curse is being re-uploaded to Fan-Fiction.net. I might upload there every two days to a week. Hopefully that will get my rear in gear to fix this page already. x.x'

Alright guys I am headed to the beach for about a week tomorrow morning! I'm super excited because I tend to get serious writing inspiration whenever I go to a new place. I will be active on here as I will be staying at a relatives house that has wifi and a great porch to write on. xD
I already have my copy of the Evergreen draft packed, my writing laptop, and several of my plotting/brainstorming journals. I hope I can get this front page situation on the mend tomorrow evening when I reach my destination. O.O Also, another upload for Curse is going up on fan fiction . net tonight.

Unfortunately not Dx Grey overcast skies, and cooler weather than what we were expecting. x,x' The ocean felt like an ice bath.
AND INSTEAD OF WRITING STUFF FOR STARBORN I'VE BEEN GETTING TIDECALLER VIBES THIS IS NOT OKAY Not to mention wifi was super spotty yesterday. It's working great tonight!

I’m not surprised you’re getting Tidecaller vibes, though! You’re by the sea, after all!

*throws computer against a wall* WHY. ISN'T. THERE. AN. EASY. WAY. TO. POST. CHAPTERS. AND. KEEP. ALL. THE. FORMATTING. I've literally re-done the front page but then when I checked to see that it would look alright it ERASED HALF OF THE HTML AND LEFT THE TEXT FLOATING IN MID AIR. So I undid all my work and now I'm back to square one.
I just want to copy and paste...I don't want to have to go through EVERY SINGLE CHAPTER and put in italics and erase spaces. That's the main reason for such a hold up. Literally I cannot and do not want to commit the HOURS of my time it will take to sit down and code everything onto this new layout. It's too much!!

That's the main reason for such a hold up. Literally I cannot and do not want to commit the HOURS of my time it will take to sit down and code everything onto this new layout. It's too much!! I know that feeling!! When I take a Wordperfect chapter of a book and copy and paste it into the final Word doc before the final draft is made, it does not transfer the italics! UGH. My Felakoon characters are telepathic so they speak mind to mind which I mark with * italics*. So I have to go through ALL the text in Word and redo the italics. THEN it changes all the italics I use on ship names. UGH. Pain in the buttocks but no other way that I know of. Only good thing is I can put in the * and the ship names into the Find and replace feature and it helps find them all to change. But dang with a book that is over 600 pages its a real pain in my buttocks, esp when in WP each chapter is as separate file but the final Word.doc is one HUGE multichapter file. If not for the find and replace feature I'd really be ripping out what is left of my hair. Here I've noticed it will do weird things like center the text and won't obey the Left justification tab unless I go into the coding and try and find the little stinker responsible for the change. And here looking for *italics* Its a pain because there is no "find" and replace feature! It would be nice if little formatting things like italics goes with the copy and paste.
