Honestly Kid

Originally this was a way for read­ers to com­ment on the seri­al­ized story as it shaped up, rather than limit com­ments to spe­cific posts. Even though the site is chang­ing a bit, I see no rea­son to plunge this stuff into dig­i­tal depths just yet.

All of my non-fiction posts are open for com­ments, but you can com­ment gen­er­ally on the site, my fic­tion, etc here and refer and/or link to spe­cific posts as you see fit.

    A brave soul…good luck to you, friend.

    Just begin­ning to read… Will keep going so long as it holds me. If I catch up with real time at some stage I’ll let you know, and then you’ll know at least one per­son out there thinks it’s all worth­while. Unless I never do…

    I’m curi­ous to know how you came up with the name Luke Bettis? To be hon­est– it’s not all that com­mon of a name. The rea­son I’m ask­ing is because my name is Luke Bettis. And read­ing these sto­ries, is a lit­tle weird for me.

    Luke,

    Thanks for reading.

    As for the name, I just made it up. I usu­ally start with char­ac­ters and then start think­ing of names. I try to rely solely on what­ever comes into my head. I don’t use baby nam­ing books, phone books, Google, or any­thing like that. I do some­times inten­tion­ally refer to places and char­ac­ters from leg­end or lit­er­a­ture (for exam­ple, Luke is bib­li­cal) or try some form of word play (Loof). Most of all, I like all of the names in this story to sound like names peo­ple might have in the ‘real’ world. You are proof that I’m on the right track in that department.

    Thanks again,
    Dan

    Hi Dan,
    Mr. Sneed reminds me of someone…hmmm.…well we’ll leave that as it is. Laura Rose told me to Google your name and low and behold here we are. I’ll be read­ing more. This is very engaging…you know I like a good mystery!

    I thought an update was in order. I’m cur­rently half way through and still read­ing once or twice a week. So I do think it’s worth­while, and I’m glad you started up again after a break recently… keep going!

    Hey, I think I know you. Impressive work here. I may go back to the begin­ning and even­tu­ally try to catch up too.

    Considering how much work is involved in the set­ting up of this site and the writ­ing of the story you really don’t mar­ket much do you?

    There are a few of us blog­fic­tion­ers about these days so you may want to step out into the com­mu­nity. Try http://blogfictionwriting.blogspot.com/ for a start (not my site).
