Finished the last few tweaks on Beauty tonight, I think.  I’m going to let it sit for a day or two for a cold read and then make final adjustments and do my first pass edit before sending it off to M.L. for her thoughts on the revisions.

In the meantime, I’ll likely get cracking on the final chapter of Lowborn.  I think I may actually start it tonight, since the young one has taken a rare trip to bed early.

I’m probably going to work on a couple of how-to’s for Lit whenever I’m not feeling especially creative.  It should help keep me writing and in the groove when things around here aren’t conductive to fiction.  One will be a detailed document on the editing process there, which is hardly intuitive, and the other will be suggestions on how to choose categories for multi-genre stories.

Both are questions that come up frequently on the forum, so I thought I’d add something to the story file that might help.

Now, for a few minutes of downtime, and I’ll see if I’m awake enough to forge forward into the conclusion of Lowborn.

EDIT: ( a little later )  First 350 words of Lowborn 09 are done 🙂  May be more before the night’s over, but the chapter is now officially in progress on “paper”.
