Expectations

Hi,

Thought I would just add more stuff to the sphere in which I live.

I will be talking about my process in posting my Jane Austen Fan Fiction entitled "Expectations" or however you properly show titles. I do have to look that up because in Chapter 20 when Elizabeth is having dinner at Netherfield Park, Blake and Darcy discuss Wordsworth and Cowper. A book name is mentioned so before I post that chapter I will need to check it out.

I find it still interesting to write and post a story. I doubt I will ever do another one though. this is too much like hard work and I am retired now.

I have made a few internet buddies-- beta's and regular commentors.

It seems HG is awfully quiet these days. No one hardly posts there anymore.

I noticed DWG has the donation button request on top of the page. While I contributed before I doubt I will contribute again until they make some changes -- namely show the number of views for the story. It would help the authors not get concerned over the lack of posts if they knew the number of people viewing their chapters. I do not believe it is that hard except it may put a strain on the processor. But again, until there are changes I will not contribute.

I joined yet another JA webstie - Austen Underground. Is it possible to have too many sites? I am beginning to think so. I do not understand why the spin offs but then I usually stay clear of "office politics."

I was the stage manager on a play our little theater group put together - or should I say a variety show since we had 5 one-act plays, 3 soloists and 1 comedian and 1 commercial (which was the funniest skit of all).

Unfortunately I picked up a cold, chills and fever. Still feeling down today. my meds are wearing off so I must go take more.

Tomorrow, I will work on Chapter 22 (finishing the draft) or maybe I will write the final chapter and epilogue.

night for now.
