Apr. 29,2011 - The Dark Crow's final chapter has been posted and no Jack Crater updates this week. Next week, I promise. No further stories besides Crater will be uploaded, unless you demand more. Apr. 2011 - Hi, guess what? More apologies as I am late in uploading my site once more. In case you haven't noticed, I think I might finally be burning out a little bit, hence why I've slowed on my writing. In fact, I will release the final chapter of the Dark Crow novel/first draft and then, I will solely be working on the Jack Crater Trilogy for the site. There will not be any more stories for some time as I am going to take a break and read a lot of classic science fiction. And maybe someday I will work on that Insect-Man screenplay I promised by the end of April, but I haven't started it yet and its not happening for Script Frenzy. Any thoughts, questions, concerns, direct them to my email and I will respond in a timely manner. In the mean time, enjoy what I have written thus far and the rest of Jack Crater. Mar. 2011 - Hello and apologies for no updates for two weeks. I decided last week to take the week off, but I was going to update the site to let you know. My apologies for not getting around to it. But this week is updated and we're back on track again for now. Later. Feb. 2011 - Hello, y'all. I just wanted to apologize for the lateness of these stories. Last week and even Sunday, I tried uploading, but couldn't get on the server due to a bad connection, I guess. I just got an email from angelfire explaining some changes they made to their site, so, maybe that affected the server. Either way, I am back and the stories are updated and hopefully will be updated again by the end of this week. Later, and peace out. Jan. 2010 - Well, Hope you all had a Merry X-mas and a Happy New Years. I did and now back to work. This week I finally finished The Curse. It is done. Now, I may try to research and revise it. And that means I might only be writing for two stories a week such as finishing Dark Crow and the Jack Crater sequel. I must say, I sure could use another break, lol. Hope all is well and feel free to leave me any comments. Later. Dec. 22, 2010 Merry Christmas, y'all. That time of year again. Have to admit, thought about doing a holiday special short story of some sort, but decided against it. Anywho, some bit of updates. As you may have seen, last week I have finished the first draft for Jack Crater and the Planet of the Lost. Thank god, lol. Of course, where to go from here but revisions, right? Well, not exactly. After the New Years, I will start writing the sequel, Jack Crater and the Ship of Slaves. Also, I am close to finishing The Curse as well, but maybe another week or two before that is finished. And speaking of weeks, in lieu of the holidays, I have uploaded early with few stories and I will be taking the rest of the time off of writing until after New Years. When I get back, I will continue with the Curse, Dark Crow and as I stated, start Jack Crater's second outing. Anyway, hope everybody has a merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Haunekah (did I spell that right) and happy and merry whatever other holiday is celebrated. Peace be with you. Dec. - 2010 Okay, first and foremost I would like to apologize for anybody reading the Nanowrimo story for only writing and uploading a couple of chapters compared to my use five or more. After I got my word count Monday night, I took a little break from that novel due to late hours, snowstorms and working out. I promise I will get back to it quite a bit this week. I'm not finished with it yet. So, enjoy what I got now. Nov. - 2010 More updates as I feel the need for updates. I have both good news and possibly bad news based on your own opinions. The good news is I have added more stories from the past onto the website. I have added what I wrote for my first two nanowrimo adventures and an old unfinished draft titled Sea Monster from one of my two senior projects in college. That leads into the bad news. I would recommend reading the disclaimers on the Sea Monster Screenplay and the Insect Man novel. I have decided to halt production on those stories for now. The current Nanowrimo, Dark Crow and Jack Crater will continue until the end, but I would recommend reading my disclaimers for those other two for more information. Thank you and have a Happy Thanksgiving. Oct. - 2010 Hello, hello. I have returned. Yes, after the fun trip my computer took into oblivion, my friends and I managed to pull it out of the depths of despair and breathe life once more into this mechanical misfit. Unfortunately, there were casualties. All of my files were lost and I had to reinstall Windows XP. Luckily, I could pull off what I need from my website for the writing stuff. Anywho, I apologize for being incognito again. Let's hope this is the last time for a while. Next Friday, you will have more stories, I promise you and more. That's right, not only, am I going to continue writing what I've started, but I am also taking part in Nanowrimo this year. Check out the newest section for more information on that. July 2010 - Updates, updates, updates galore. My apologies for not having any activity for a month. Things have changed and I needed to take a break before starting anew. First and foremost the Super Villain Fighting Force series has been cancelled. Sorry for anyone that actually enjoyed those stories, but I got pretty discouraged with them and wanted to move on. I will leave what has been written on there for now. By next month, I will post the little bit of the next story that I had started for these guys before giving up. I decided to move on and as a result, I am now writing four different stories at once. Two are screenplays and two are novels. So, my plan is to write a chapter or excerpt once a day Monday-Thursday and then post a section of each different story by the end of the week. So, instead of a short story a month, there will be sections from novels and screenplays added once a week. The stories are Dark Crow (never thought that guy would have lasted beyond his very first story which I relocated to comic scripts under scripts), The Insect Man, Jack Crater and the Planet of the Lost, and Sea Monster. The first two are novels and the last two are screenplays. And while I am separating chapters for each novel, I will just simply add to the screenplay documents, so, you'll scroll down to see if it has been updated or not. I am also still working on improving the site, but it might take even longer before too much of a change is made. But please, any criticism for stories and/or web design is encouraged. Just contact me at mlloydstories@gmail.com. Thank you very much and I hope you enjoy these stories.
