New Fanfiction Schedule

I now have seven works in progress posted on fanfiction.net, four of which are
"Another World" fics.
"23rd Precinct" [story arcs begin and end, but the nature of this fic allows it to go on ad infinitum. ]
"Dante's Troubles"
"One Careless Moment"
"Revealed Relationships"

In addition to my "Another World" stories, I'm working on:
"Chloe, My Love"
an AU Bonanza fic
"The Poem"
an AU prequel to "The Waltons"
and
"Unsuited to Each Other"
an AU Katie Rose and Stacy Belford story.

It's hard, sometimes, juggling all these fics, so I've decided on
a posting schedule.

"23rd Precinct"
will be posted on Sunday (in the evening)
"Chloe, My Love"
will be posted on Monday
"Dante's Troubles"
will be posted on Tuesday
"One Careless Moment"
will be posted on Wednesday
"The Poem"
will be posted on Thursday
"Revealed Relationships"
will be posted on Friday
"Unsuited to Each Other"
will be posted on Saturday.

Of course, I will be working on all of these fics throughout the week!

Working on a Fic

I wrote a new fanfic today, a double drabble,  but I haven't posted it because, well, it just
doesn't work within those limitations.  It needs to be fleshed out and built up.
The funny thing is that I've had the ending planned for several months.

B Is For Brighton Beach

I've just discovered this book, which was published last year.

Of course, I went right to smile.amazon. com and, to my utter delight, saw that they had it
on Kindle... at a very low price!
CLICK!

All through the book there  are places I've been so many times.
Asser Levy Park, which I called "The Big Park" when I was a little girl.
The boardwalk.
The Ezra Jack Keats School (known as P.S. 253 when I went there.)
And, most meaningful of all to me, Guardian Angel Roman Catholic Church,
unnamed in the book because it is on the J page along with the Jewish Center
across the street.

This book makes me feel so happy, but at the same time, a bit homesick.

I'm just sorry that I didn't know about it last year.... I would have gotten a physical
copy for Mom.
She would have loved it.
