PS: Today would have been my mother's 80th birthday. Damn I'm old...
PPS: Nobody pays attention. I screwed up the date on this post, and put 2019 instead of 2020, and no one caught it. Shame on all of you!

Re: Writing Status
Darthel, my mom's been passed for nearly 30 years now. There is no grief left. Truth is, I remember little good OR bad. She left when I was only 18, and I left home when I was 17. I have some memories, yes, but the only lasting effect on me is that Christmas is never as much fun now as it was when I was a kid.

Re: Writing Status
Happy to hear AC is going to be posted HOPEFULLY in the following week or two.
As for WAY moving slowing... well it’s moving right? Means it is still alive.
I actually planned too stop by and inquire how life was treating you today, then I got a notice 1 people posted on the forum and show up to find there was multiple posts and I only seen 1 notification. Oh well, my problem I guess.
My mother passed away the same day my wife and I started dating, April 1st, 2011. Sick joke right? Wife and I started dating that early afternoon, my mom passed that evening a few hours later.(She went peacefully in a coma)

Re: Writing Status
you will only get the one notification until you visit the forum. The email I got said “ Eric Storm has replied to the topic 'Writing Status' to which you are subscribed. There may be more new replies, but this is the only notification you will receive until you visit the board again.â€

Re: Writing Status
People subscribe to threads???
Huh.
(I have no need to subscribe, I visit this site about a half-dozen times on any typical day.)

PS: Given some of the stuff you've told me, Elessar... you should've spent the day with your mom.

Re: Writing Status
Yeah I should have spent more time with my mom. I flew in from California a few days before she passed and didn’t spend as much time as I should of. Also, yes I subscribe. I however didn’t pay attention to the fact that we only get 1 notification... oops.

Re: Writing Status
That wasn't a comment about how much time you spent with your mom.

Re: Writing Status
Not true. Progress is movement forward. As the opposite of pro is con, obviously movement backward is called CONGRESS.

Re: Writing Status

I haven't written a check in probably a decade. I don't even have a checkbook for my checking account.

Re: Writing Status
So typically I have the utmost confidence in the reviewers, but it has been over a week now(technically it's exactly a week), and they haven't finished the review.
Aside from me wishing the reviewers would hurry up, I hope everything else is going swimmingly. Warm weather, hot babes, that sort of thing.

Re: Writing Status
Warm weather.... well, this is a relative term. For the area... NOPE. It is currently 52º F.
Hot babes... HELL NOPE. No female has been in my home for almost a year now.
Swimmingly... NOPE. Can't swim anymore due to a vertigo problem in my ears.
I received the second-to-last review a couple hours ago. No idea when (or if) the last review will come in. I will probably post the chapter in a couple days.

Re: Writing Status
Anything's possible, but I wouldn't hold my breath through 2/20/2020 to see it...
BTW, today is the "most palindromic day in history":
US date (m-d-y): 02022020
UK date (d-m-y): 02022020
ISO date(y-m-d): 20200202
This overlap will not happen again until 03/03/3030.
Further: Feb 2 is the 33rd day of the year (another palindrome...) and there are 333 days left in the year (yep, one more palindrome!) THIS full combination (all three date styles as palindromes plus the split-day palindromes) supposedly will never happen again.
Eric Storm
PS: Thanks go to Matt Parker for giving me information to bore you with. Stand-up Maths (YouTube) (Don't even bother if you're not SERIOUSLY nerdy. This guy gets orgasmic about his math. The video talking about the date? That was 8 minutes long!)
PPS: Yes, I know you don't care. It's MY forum thread, so shut up! ROFLMAO
PPPS: If you're unclear what a palindrome is: it's a word, phrase or number that reads the same forward as it does backward. (For phrases, you remove the spaces and any punctuation.) Examples: "Malayalam", "Madam, I'm Adam", and... 20200202 !
Ha-ha! Made you learn something!
TL;DR: Well, what the fuck are you doing on a STORIES SITE if you don't want to READ???
