Brain Drain Day

A brain drain day, so it felt, my sassy KitKats, since the Kougar wrote her bloggie for the travel theme at THE PINK BLOG. She also revised the next chapter of CURSES WERE STRANGE BEASTS for the Dorchester/TextNovel contest, which will be winding up the end of September. And, of course, the next flash installment of COURTSHIP ON ANOTHER EARTH for her blog.
Good thing, she has some other prowling stuff to get done tomorrow where penning won’t be utilized. Her mind needs a respite.
Maaowwing also, moi received her final edits for STALLION OF ASH AND FLAME, along with the release date. Yippy! It’s right around the corner. Later, she’ll make a formal announcement.
Oh, those commas, though, they’re still causing mucho problems!!! Where they were added last time, now they’re not supposed to be there in the Kougar’s manuscript.
Personally, this Big Cat author doesn’t have a huge problem with how commas are used, with rare exceptions, as long she can understand the story and the style of use is consistent. Oh meow well.
Who would have thought commas could cause such consternation. With everything a writer has to contend with in creating a story, this seems like it should be low on the totem pole. The Kougar knows her comma use in BRANDED BY THE TEXANS is all over the map, simply because she doesn’t know which way to comma jump.

CURSES WERE STRANGE BEASTS
~ Chronicles of an Earth-bound Goddess ~

CHAPTER FOURTEEN ~ Lock, Stock and Cock

“I can’t,” Keziah muttered into the strangling silence.
“What am I going to find, if I run your fingerprints?”
“Nothing.” Thunder-Force Man wouldn’t find anything. He wouldn’t find her. No driver’s license. No ID of any kind. She didn’t exist in the system. Computers were notoriously easy to purge. A few drabs of power, a few directed pulses to the bits and bytes. Gone, gone in less than sixty seconds. “Nothing,” she repeated. “I’m a very bad girl... but I’m not in your Big Bad Brother police system.”

Happy Courtship on another Earth

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...

Part 262 ~

Sylva decided Marina could be right. “Too much stress. Not enough food. That could be.” For a long moment, Marina eyed her from corner of one eye. “I can only imagine. I’m also bettin’ Zeke and Grant are okay or those abilities of yours would be firing up.” That caught Sylva’s serious attention. “You’re probably right. I’m sensing things are getting worked out. Whatever they are.” Marina eased back and lowered her pistol some. “My own hackles would be raised if Grant were in trouble. I could switch on his talkie device, listen to what’s goin’ on. But that’s invading everyone’s privacy.”

Zeke wanted to shake his head in disbelief. Still, he’d heard Matt, the Long Walker’s devotion to Stella in his voice. It wasn’t hard to believe they were married. Zeke trained his gaze on Stella’s brother. “My sister didn’t say one blessed word about being married. Yer lying.” Matt stood tall, straightening his shoulders. “As long as you’re gonna take me to Stella, I’ll go as your prisoner, if’n these two allow it.” Zeke glanced toward Ranson for his reaction. Ranson nodded, indicating they were probably on the same page. “You’ll be going back alright, Mister. That baby needs a Daddy.”
