Pause 2 is posted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To quote: “As you can see, these bits and pieces are not readily usable in the overall reconstruction and restoration of the original text. Nonetheless, even if these short pieces do not provide a ready context, they may, in their ways, provide a welcome relief. As they say, “A bit can have its place,” which is why we pick up the pieces. Enjoy these, Sid.”

Please stop by this Saturday, August 13, 2016 for the Second Pause in the progression of “The Do’s Series” netnovel webwork.

This Second Interlude follows Segments 11 to 20 and occurs at an uncertain time beyond the New Days when researchers are excavating and reconstructing the original words of the “The Do’s Series.”

As part of this laborious and time-consuming task, postnote fragments have been discovered which do not appear to be part of the netnovel itself but may have contributed to the generative process of observing the story and recording its contents. Please consider these notes and the other supplemental materials that will be forthcoming before we move to the final stages of the novel.

Enjoy the thoughts contained in this Pause 2, and rest your mind and body in anticipation of what will, with good hope, be discovered, formed and presented to you in the future segments of this novel.

Grandpa Jim

Start the music, pass the pizza and enjoy the story.

This is the newest story in “The Do’s Series” netnovel.

Every segment is a world premier for that chapter.

This Segment 20 completes the second part of the book.

Now, we move to Pause 2 and some new background materials.

All of this is new and what you see next week hasn’t been written yet.

So, we look forward to spending more time with you.

Enjoy this Segment and prepare for the Pause.

God willing and the Creek don’t rise.

There will be more soon.

Until then.

Grandpa Jim

I hope you can be here Friday, August 5, 2016, for the 20th chapter of “The Do’s Series” netnovel. This is, of course, a world premier. And, please, enjoy all the chapters of this emerging novel while they are still available for a freeread on the Internet right here at Uncle Joe Stories.

After this chapter, you will see an updated List of Names and, hopefully, a map of the New Days world and a Glossary that more broadly addresses the terms, the places and the people in the first 20 chapters.

We look forward to your reading Segment 20 here this Friday,

Grandpa Jim

“Has the Whole World Gone Mad? — Comin’ Through The Rye”

This is the latest and newest chapter of “The Do’s Series” netnovel.

Things are rushing forward, as they are in each of our lives, but there is still some time for some of us to spend some quiet moments alone together.

Enjoy this chapter, number 19. There is only one more chapter, number 20, before “Pause 2” and some hoped-for supplemental materials that will bring us to what may be the final chapters of the book — if things can be certain, and we’ve seen and read that they seldom are.

I do hope you enjoy Segment 19. It was a pleasure to see and to write.

May The Do’s be with you and guide you on your way, and may your day be full and complete and filled with good wishes made and received,

GrandPa Jim

It’s summertime.

Alas, the copy editor is on vacation.

So, be patient, things may not be so polished & right exact.

The next chapter, Segment 19, may itself not flow quite so tight and full.

Nonetheless, a Guppie Pirate approaches and LoveJoy patiently waits for a special arrival.

In the wings, the other gangly Guppie fidgets and flops with news anew.

While on Tower high, DawnRunner and StealthMouse meet.

And at kitchen table over coffee hot.

Well, wait and you will see

Who they may be.

If you be here

Thursday

Soon.

Grandpa Jim

Segment 18 of “The Do’s Series” NetNovel is up and ready for reading.

This chapter story will be posted on the homepage, available under the dropdown tab for “The Do’s Series”, and/or accessible from the sidebar on the posts page.

MirrorPuddle, The Waptilian Raik, visits RhineHold HuffSpot, the greenlands dwarflord. Is there a similar purpose to LoveJoy’s original visit to the dwarfmaster?

How many sweettreats can TidBit eat at one sitting, what does LoveJoy spy in the sky, where is HirschTruss, and what does the Dark Count intend?

Wherever you turn, the story waits for you,

Grandpa Jim

A dark stranger visits the greenwood. Is that a staff or a flying stick?

TidBit enjoys a new dessert as LoveJoy watches the sky for news. What will it be?

Truss awakens to a revelation and a query. What role will mercy play in the scheme of these things?

Stop in, sit down, draw up, read long and always wonder more.

Grandpa Jim

And catch up: The first 17 chapters of “The Do’s Series” are easily found above and beside to read, re-read and enjoy again and again or for the first time.

Read away.

Wonder where and how?

A Guppie spy working for Sir Richard?

Do Vilas really dance the night away, why do they?

Has the mysterious stranger really visited from over the rainbow?

Read, wonder, spy, dance, traipse, dash and thought away out here & there?

Grandpa Jim

PS: “GangleLegs” can be found under the “The Do’s Series” dropdown tab above or listings to the right.

We’ve come a long way.

Seventeen chapters, many characters and much happening.

A new character joins the mix.

A Vila chat over tea is an unusual event, to say the least — and more will be said (How did they learn of the new Pokemon game?).

Again the Mysterious Stranger interrupts Sir Richard’s deliberations.

Distracters, Disrupters and Interrupters: The story continues with these and more.

Who? Why? When? What next?

All here tomorrow,

Grandpa Jim
