The first draft of Ebon is done, at just over 120k.  I’ve sent it off to the reader who suggested the tale as well as Daniellekitten for some initial thoughts before I start the first pass edit.

I’m about halfway into Blackhawk 05, and I can tell for sure now that it will go at least one more chapter beyond this one.  I’ve already put my challenge word in there, and I’m going to be using it again later in the tale because it fits perfectly.

Danica 16 is edited and ready to go when 15 gets approved.  After that, it will be a matter of waiting for me to finish writing instead of just editing for new parts to come out.  I’ve been so wrapped up in some of the side tales that I’ve fallen behind on finishing Book I.  As soon as I finish Blackhawk 05, I’m going to knuckle down and get Danica 17 finished.  It is all pretty much written in my head, so I just need to get it down on paper.  This will be good preparation for Book II though, because it will be a “read as I finish writing” prospect all the way through.

Still have those two Erotic Horror tales and another Arts Ardane slowly steeping in my head as well, and that sequel to both Blackhawk and Thakkor that will draw all the characters from both tales together in one place.  That one will also bring in a character that first appears in the core tale at the tail end of Danica 16.

That’s all for now, off to write on Bhawk05 some more and anxiously await the impressions of the two readers perusing Ebon.
