    Still going in spite of life

    A reader kindly poked me today to inquire how I was doing since I haven't posted anythin on my stories or blog for months now. Real life slammed me pretty hard after my May update and writing has been at the bottom of the list. Just to detail a few of the incidents, I've been cleaning up a flooded basement, taking care of sick kids (three hospital visits; thank god there aren't bills to pay),

    Checking In - May 2018

    It’s time for the monthly check-in. This month was far more productive than the last so I’m feeling pretty good. As usual, you can find more after the break.

    Checking In - April 2018

    Greetings! I’m a few days late but it’s time for my monthly check in. I had high hopes for March but life with young children has a habit of altering those plans. Heck, I'm even three days late posting this blog! More after the break and the statistics.

    Checking In - March 2018

    Hello everyone! February has ended and so it is time for our monthly check-in. It’s been a weird month and not quite as productive as I’d hoped. Fortunately, the reason for that lack of productivity isn’t an issue of inspiration. More after the break.

    Checking In - February 2018

    Hello everyone! It’s time for the monthly check-in. The past month has been educational to say the least. As a result, I’m making a few changes to the way I approach these updates and what I’m going to include in them. More after the break.

Formatting Adjustments · 6:53pm Jun 5th, 2017

I suppose nobody will be surprised that this is a post about the website update. It’s startling and it’s clear there are still some bugs to work out. I’m sure I’ll get used to the new look which does have potential but there are one or two headaches I can see for writers. I have nearly finished Chapter 34 of Finding a Place but publishing will have to wait until I figure out how to fix the formatting.

The main problem I’m facing is the elimination of author-controlled indents. Indentation is now entirely in the hand of the reader in the format box where we can control the font and text size. I’ve used that as a trick to isolate thoughts in most of my stories but now I need to figure out a new solution.

I hope I can find a method that doesn’t make my stories harder to read but at the moment I’m a bit stuck.

Edit: For the moment I’m going with 6 white colored underscores, like this to get the indent. it might look a bit odd if your background isn’t white, but at least it’s something I can find and replace later if necessary.

______Indented for your convenience.
