Deviation Actions
Like a lot of others, I tried that Mashup Contest by writing a little one page piece on what my third spin of the contest gave me. Which was: Spock, at Litchfield Pen, being a hipster! It was tricky trying to make that into any sort of acceptable storyline but I managed. Not great but acceptable. Then waited to see if I'd get a badge?
And waited, and waited and had come to the conclusion that I'd screwed up somehow when what do you know...... there it appeared this morning! Woo hoo!
Now why I'm so pleased with a simple little badge I have no idea? It's not like it's going to make any difference and I have others anyways? But there you are. I guess we humans just like to have a little acknowledgment once in awhile that we're doing all right and are appreciated! Especially in these days of meanness and cruelty that just seems to radiate from far too many in the political and business elites!
So thank you DA for my little badge.

Just a wee tip!
For those not familiar with my DA Home page. I have always designed my webpage for the 16 x 9, widescreen, full frame (F11) viewing standard. Be it a laptop, monitor, tv or whatever. Obviously you can view it in any ratio you or your equipment prefer. But for ease of use and overall composition. It will always look its best as close as possible to the high definition, widescreen, 1080 x 1920 pixel standard.
Finally a decent home page!
After a couple of years of steady improvements, I think I've finally managed to build a decent home page? Attractive but not overbearing, informative and complete without being needlessly complicated. Plus a background pretty and simple that won't distract from the main works. And everything easy to update as needed. Yes I think I can live with this for a while?
Milestones to Celebrate!
MILESTONES TO CELEBRATE! Back on Aug. 17th, 2017, I posted Part 1 of a little tale that I called 'The House on the Hill' and which I figured would probably be about a dozen episodes long and take maybe three to four months to complete? Boy was I ever wrong! And now on the fourth anniversary of what came to be called 'The Charlotte Chronicles' it has morphed into a two volume series of over 212,000 words and ninety-nine parts and I'm nowhere near the end! Though as Winston Churchill once famously said, "It is not the beginning of the end but it may be the end of the beginning," as I labor on to finish out this second volume of this series called 'Charlotte's New Home'. Guess time will tell? This is not the only milestone I will be celebrating this weekend either as it is also my tenth year on Deviant Arts. And I have now recently passed the 150,000 pageviews mark, have also passed the 150 deviations mark and have now reached 500 watchers to top it off as well! All of which I
My continuing storylines will be delayed!
Just a heads up that the next few parts of my "Charlotte's new home" series could be considerably delayed! As I've had to spend all of the last month or so updating and configuring a brand new computer system. Not to mention hours upon hours learning all the quirks and new features of Windows 10 and last but definitely not least coping with and recovering from cataract surgery on my left eye which made reading and viewing the monitor a difficult thing to do. So bear with me until I get caught up with my writing. Which hopefully will be before I have to get the second eye done? At which point it will start all over again....... :slow:
