Backup Procedures

Way back in the day I participated in National Novel Writing Month (nanowrimo).

I worked on a story called Backup Procedures.

Think of an alt-history future-pulp on other planets humans travel to via submarine.  Where humanity's allies in this universe are a race of large crab-like creatures and a demonic-looking all female species which is not actually demonic but created from humans and a race of eldritch old ones.

Never finished it.   Didn't even get to revise it like I promised.

And I'll admit my track record is... well time, time and time.

But I'm thinking maybe I could start with a short story to get back into  the 'verse

More Backup Procedures

Added a new chapter today.

Another chapter will come up on Tues

Notes

Didn't get to talk about my breaded wings, but I did manage to get ch7 and 8 of Backup Procedures on the other site.

Outage.

I was planning to have the next two chapters posted last night, then my internet went out.

Was out for both desktop and laptop, had a strange area of sites that were down and loss of functionality. First new sites would not work, then everything but messanging and ftp was down, then it was just ftp, then it was everything. Then ftp and google came back, but google was only for one tab.

Needless to say nothing I tried actually did anything, and it took a while for me to get my engineer urges of "fix and win" down to where I could give up and read instead (Shane by Jack Schaefer, very classic end there). On the upside I didn't actually loose any sleep over it.

And turns out it was something I couldn't acutally fix.

The Chicago Sun-Times says that this outage hit the Chicago- region, Northwest Indiana, parts of Michigan and Minnesota and began about 1930 CST and was fixed a little after midnight.

Ah well, will post the chapters a bit later tonight. And the breaded wing recipe hinted at here.

And More Nano

As a reward for meeting my Nano goal of 50k words in one month, there's been some releases.

Chapters 3 and 4 have been updated with versions that have fewer boneheaded typos.

And chapters 5 and 6 have been posted.

Crossposted

Nano stuff.

Well, I don't quite have content up but soon.

Meanwhile here's the site.

Can't talk...

Nano'ing.

Have managed to keep up the pace so that's good, but it does take alot of work.


Meanwhile here's somethng to read until I get some chapters cleaned enough to put online.
