The Jackal of Thoughts
K. Olsen: Back on FanStory. Trying to just focus on one project, which is going to be The Lioness of Shadi. It is going to get a huge amount of expansion and rewrites, so it may be reposted bit by bit. |

K. Olsen: I swear I really am still breathing. I am very sorry if I owe you a response. I have been working , studying for the nursing entrance exam, and sleeping. Not much else. After next Friday, things should chill again and I might even get some things replied to. (I hope!) |

K. Olsen: In the run up towards publishing, I want to post chapters of a story called Heart of Flame, but generally I am told the chapters are too long for the site. I have no idea how to thread that needle, because I feel like they are the correct length for a book. |

K. Olsen: I have like ten chapters of Light of the Heavens that I could put up, but I have mixed feelings about how they have come out. |

K. Olsen: Undergoing transcranial magnetic stimulation for the depression now. Who knew firing a powerful magnet through your brain could reprogram it, along with the migraines and muscle spasms? On the bright side, starting to feel better and getting back to writing. I'm looking forward to reading as well. Thank you very much to anyone who needs it and I hope you all have a great day. |

K. Olsen: Dealing with my crushing depression by going through old works and cleaning. Writing is a little hard right now, so I apologize to anyone waiting on anything. |

K. Olsen: Map for Within the Bone is on Twitter in inked form if anyone wants to see it. You can find me @OlsenWriting. |

K. Olsen: If anyone goes looking for Beneath the Iron and cannot find it: I am submitting it for publication through Draft2Digital, and the rules of Amazon say it cannot be fully available elsewhere. If you?re curious, send me a message. The first five chapters will be available on Wattpad for as long as I am able, albeit currently in less-polished form. |

I have often had pieces here pubbed elsewhere - since this is a 'closed' site and only available to members, most publishers/journals/etc, don't consider this to be published on the web. Thanks and good luck! - | ||

K. Olsen: So, I suffer from severe depression and it has bit like no other bug right now. To deal with venting some of the darkness, there will be a drabble coming out. I have no idea how long it will be and it is not a priority, but if you like the darker side of fantasy, it will be there. |

And the dark twist on stories is always interesting, especially when it's based on real feelings or thoughts. - | ||

K. Olsen: So I am having something of an inner debate, and it is vicious, over bringing a work onto FanStory for critique. I know it needs it and I always appreciate it, but there are two main points of contention to get past. 1) I do not know how well it would function broken up into isolated chunks where you do not get to know characters or plot in a continuous way and 2) two of the romances and the protagonist are not straight. I am not sure how it would fit here. Thoughts are welcome. |

There is however, a writer called Sarkems who has set-up a 'long story club' If you click on 'social' at the top of your screen, there is a 'club' option. The fact that your characters are gay is neither here nor there. Many of us are not religious either, but that doesn't deter most of us from reading spiritual poetry/prose. tracey - | ||

K. Olsen: The fact that Fanstory cannot deal with apostrophes in titles or profile posts drives me a little crazy. |

K, When I share things via my iPhone, I can be assured all my apostrophes will definitely become strange symbols. Once I figured out what caused it, I learned to avoid contractions in that setting - using 'I am' instead of 'I'm', etc. I don't know what situation you're speaking of for sure, but maybe that will help? [And to all you folks who suddenly receive odd, stilted language from me - now you know! I'm on my phone! haha] - | ||

K. Olsen: The next chapter of ?The Lioness of Shadi? is under construction. In the meantime, I may start putting up chapters of another story that?s almost complete. It?s sitting at 32 chapters right now and I?ve worked hard on it over the course of the last 7-8 months. So if stuff materializes, do not be alarmed. |
