What happened to Nikki?

You may be wondering, given the complete lack of anything from me over the last couple of weeks, or you may not have even noticed. For those that might care though, I just happened to decide to enjoy my holiday break with very limited access to technology.

I took a break from writing, from facebook and spent some time just enjoying life.

Don't worry though, I'm back now and still the same old me. I'll be writing again very very soon.

One L or two?

Ok, so this is a bit of an odd one, but something that I have been noticing and had to comment on. Ever since I've been posting the Nikki and Sammi story, I have been referring to installments. It's funny because I work across a couple of computers and environments and clearly I've run into an English vs American English peculiarity.

I'm used to American software constantly trying to change my s to z and am somewhat immune to it. I know the American version has an aversion to the letter U as well. What I didn't realise was that the American's also have an aversion to putting the second L in installment. Even as I write this on my iPad I can see blogger screaming at me that there should only be a single L.

Whenever I write on a computer set to English (UK) though, it tells me that my instincts around two Ls is correct.

As an Australian, brought up on a diet closely aligned to UK English rather than American, but who has lived in Canada I can get a little interchangeable with some things (like my constant use of the word panties - a topic of its own) but there are some lines that must be drawn. I struggled when I first taught myself HTML because I couldn't get things to centre on the page. When I worked out I had to center them, it became easier, but no less confusing!

I've decided that I don't like the single L version so from now on, two Ls it is! I've even just checked dictionary.com and it agrees that the preferred form is with two.

Glad I got that off my chest!

Next Installment

So after yesterday saying that I wasn't quite sure when the next installment was going to be posted, I pulled my finger out and made sure that I wrote something.

It's up, so check it out over at my erotic story experiment page. Be sure to vote for what happens next!

Slow

Yes, after a flurry of activity, with two books in pre-release, I've been a bit slow. I am keenly aware that I haven't posted a continuation to Nikki and Sammi's story over at my erotic story experiment, but hope to do so in the next day or so.

Next Installment

I don't know if I need to announce each time I put a new part of Nikki and Sammi's story up, but just in case, I thought I'd belatedly let you know that I added to it here

What is Nikki Writing?

Just because I am sure that you're wondering, I thought that I'd give you an update on the things that I am currently working on. Hopefully it whets your appetite.

So there are a couple of things imminent, both to come out under the Nikki Dark moniker. A sleep walking based quikki and a longer story that is actually a request from one of my biggest fans. It's a different area to what I normally write, so hopefully it tickles a few libidos! I'm pretty sure that people will still like it.

Both of these are currently being beta-read and just need editing and cover art before I get around to publishing them.

The other thing that has been mentioned here recently that I've been plugging away at is ComicCon Bingo. So far there's almost 12,000 words down for that one. I'm certainly enjoying writing it, though I can't say for sure where it is going to finish. THat's one of the things that constantly surprises me when I write. I can start somewhere with a reasonably fixed idea of where it is going to go, but then it is like the characters take on a life of their own and lead me somewhere different to where I thought. It keeps the writing fun.
