Up to 10,300 on Heart, and finally have these two shirtless.  Doubt the rest of their clothes are going to last much longer.  The young one is out like a light, so in a few minutes, I’m going to eliminate the various noise makers in the house, crank on Chrono Cross to cover the rest, and get down to business.  I’d like to have most of this scene finished tonight, while I’ve got the chance.

I’m aiming to have it done and ready to simmer by Thursday, which will allow me to get it in ML’s hands over the weekend.  Then it’s a matter of when she can work it into her schedule.

How painful the review is will determine how long it is after that *laugh*

I’ll most likely get to work on SOTM while Heart is simmering.  I find it best to write something else while I’m letting a story sit, because it helps get the tale out of my head, allowing me to find errors and clumsy passages with more ease when I pick it back up for the final read and first-pass edit.

I remembered that I wanted to add one scene to the end of Ch. 17, so that will be the first thing I’ll do, followed by starting 18.

That story I was thinking about putting in the Earth Day contest in my third name is really better suited for just a normal story.  I just don’t feel the theme as I think about it, so I’ll probably shelve it until after the contest is over.  A couple of other ideas in that name will also probably get cranked out, as they’re more or less fully formed.

I may very well use those stories as breaks while waiting on ML to finish the content read of Heart, though.  The major writing plan during that is to work on SOTM and Lowborn — whichever is striking my fancy at the time.  The stories in my third name are good alternates, because they’re so vastly different ( and require much less concentration ) helping me clear my head.  They also get to the sex quick, meaning that I’ve got naughty bits to write when I’m more in the mood for that than plot or setup.

Anyway, let’s see how far I can get tonight, shall we?
