(Update: 21-05-2021), I’m in the process of moving Hosts, but I’m also dragging all this old tat over with me (for prosperity), because you never know, years from now – the data miners and text diggers might find it amusing. A less amusing fact: is that all of my old download links have been removed.

Finally its finished. The time of 3 o/clock, and the date of Saturday the 13th of July, in the great and glorious year of 2013; That date, is etched in my mind, and will be till I have to ‘shuffle of this mortal coil.’ re-spelt for the modern eye.

True meaning. From Hamlet’s ‘To be or not to be’ speech in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, 1602:

“What dreames may come, When we haue shufflel’d off this mortall coile, Must giue vs pawse.”

In Shakespeare’s time ‘coil’, or coile’, or coyle’, meant ‘fuss’ or ‘bustle’.

And what a fuss, and bustle it was as well, and the relief I felt on Saturday was earth shattering.

I started this fuss on Saturday, October 1, 2011: In that dammed NaNoWriMo Competition. That is; write a Novel within a Month : A novel by the way, is considered to be the minimum of 50,000 words.

Currently (Origins) stands at 216,631,000 words, which is according to the Word: word counter, and that represents 468 pages.
I simply can’t believe it that’s many! – But there you are.

This marathon has been 652 days.
Or 1 year, 9 months, 13 days.
Or:-
56,332,800 seconds
938,880 minutes
15,648 hours
652 days
93 weeks (rounded down) I was compelled to go on line and hunt down the specs:-

I felt I was close to it in the New Year, and then in Easter, but it wasn’t to be.

Whilst I have your attention. I would like to take this opportunity, to say a huge thank-you to Lisa, John, and I’m still in a quandary about your most generous offer. Chieko, Keith, Pauline, and there are many more, to which I’d like to thank you all for your support over the last year.

Nitty Gritty:-
I’ve placed (Origins) on my (Download Page), this has been created to stop the Bots form sucking my stuff of my site: the Password is 12345: Simplolz. Currently, it will reside there with (Five and a Half), but it needs a major rewrite.
It does go on a bit for young listeners, I’ve also been told that it goes into in too much depth, which means I’m going to have to pare it down at some point in the future.

To start with, they’ll both will be in ‘PDF’ Format only.
In time, I will put them on feedbooks.com, and from there, I will be able to offer them out in various formats.

I won’t be putting them on Amazon, nor Smashbooks for the time being. The Trolls that prowl around those sites, are just to harrowing to deal with, and frankly; I don’t need the grief of those self centred egos.

I may try the Gutenberg Press site. They offer a free Sci-Fi section for Authors to offer there Books out to the general population, but even they seem a little high brow, lets see.

If you have a suggestion please let me know.

Other things: Big Sigh! – Echo’s is finally being compiled, but to my surprise, its going really well. I’m already one third of the way through it.

Thanks for reading, Jessica: Praise be the ORI.
