It's a good outlet for especially literary experiences to keep them from overwhelming my other stories. Thanks to that, I see no reason why there couldn't be two dozen Alan stories eventually, but I can't know where he'll end up...<br /><br />(by the way, shoot me an e-mail - DavidalBarron at gmail.com - and I'll set up a coupon code on Smashwords for you to get the other two.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12701186474452272514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039670737739959567.post-87979323542160959322011-01-19T06:21:31.838+07:002011-01-19T06:21:31.838+07:00OK, one more comment.

I've thought about doing something similar myself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039670737739959567.post-10257423104725938272011-01-19T06:20:36.203+07:002011-01-19T06:20:36.203+07:00And yes, I know, there are two other stories out. ...And yes, I know, there are two other stories out.

And all the while I'm thinking "I'm wasting time, why aren't I writing." It's quite odd, and merits study.<br /><br />Jeff: The next two Alan stories are bracket outlined and in my queue. Once those are done and up I'll collect these first five into a "Volume I". When I have ten, I'll make a "Series I", to distinguish the two 5-packs from the 10-pack, and so forth from there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12701186474452272514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039670737739959567.post-19964850702051850942011-01-18T02:14:29.551+07:002011-01-18T02:14:29.551+07:00Good job on getting stories up.
