Haven’t been in much of shape to write or code from work and a rough weekend. I did get a few words down on Lowborn and SOTM, and tweak/add a little code. I’m pretty close to having the basics of the new website ready to launch.
Mostly, I’ve been doing data entry in the backend functions I’ve written to add content to the site. All of my work ( with the exception of a how-to up on Lit and the aborted CST3K pilot on SOL ) has been entered into the database. I’ve also created all my series/genres and descriptions, linking them to the stories.
I still have a few “Image Filtered” pics to create, as I use different size header pics on various pages. Eventually, I’ll have a default set, with templates that I can cut-n-paste images onto.
First day of the inspection is over at work. Last year, it was only two days. Not sure if the corporate visit will carry over beyond the inspection. Once both of those things are over, it will get much easier, and I won’t be coming home as physically and mentally exhusted.
Put the air conditioners in the windows today, so that’s another irritation out of the way + better sleeping.
Had an idea for a story for Nude Day. Have to see if it pans out. It would be a story about Wade’s father ( Kindred of the Wood ) and go back to when he was a young man, before he met La’isa. Odds are that it would be a one-shot story with a similar title like “Something of the Lake” because this would be the only history story from that branch of the family. Wade’s tale is in Kindred, and Dara’s will be in the Summer story. Both families are too intertwined at that point for my original concept of two side-by-side series.
Okay, I’m off to bed. Hope to have more to report on writing soon. Still waiting on Roust to get back up to speed and get SOTM 16 back to me. Perhaps I’ll have an announcement post appearing on the new version of the website when it launches soon.
