What a nightmare!

I went to do something that should have been simple tonight.  I was going to add the chapter image for Lowborn Ch. 01 to the “My Work Extras” page.  Should have been simple.  Drop in a couple of lines of code and done.

Not to be.

After wondering why it kept coming up with errors and staring at the two new lines forever, I decided to check my single quotes.

When I did this page, I had to go through and replace every apostrophe with the html special character, in order to avoid conflicting with the code markup.  It took frikkin’ forever, but the code finally saved.

Something in the last update of the software had gone through and replaced all those special characters with single quotes again!  AAARGH!

So, I went through and replaced them with curly single quotes this time.  Fortunately, it worked.

From the user side, the page was working fine.  It was only when I tried to save those two new lines that the software picked up on the error it had created.

I had to do this on other pages, so I’m probably going to have to go through and check every bloody one of them.

Anyway, after that fiasco, I put the two lines of code in, and the chapter image is finally on the page, awaiting the release of Ch. 01 on Lit.

As to everything else, I’m getting a little writing done, and Lowborn continues to move through the editing queue.  Eight is in Roust’s hands now.

Just had to vent :p

Editing rolling right along

The editing on Lowborn is moving along nicely.  I just finalized chapter 6, and chapter 7 is in my editor’s hands.

My most recent story as RR posted unexpectedly after only three days, so there’s a chance that the first chapter of Lowborn could go up tonight or in the wee hours of the morning.  If it does, as soon as I notice it, I’ll put it in the queue at SOL and get chapter 2 into the queue at Lit.

I’ve written a bit more on SOTM, but the young one kept me from getting much done on that front this weekend.  It’s still moving, though.  The scene I’m on and one that follows after have been in my head for a long time.

I also finished a scene and a chapter in an E&V MILF camgirl / nerdy virgin story called “Jackin’ Jill” that I’ve been writing in dribs and drabs for quite a while.  Not sure how many chapters it will be, but it’s getting closer.  I’m hitting some major points of the greater story arch now.

Lowborn Ch. 01 in the queue

The first chapter of Lowborn is in the queue at Lit.  I was planning on Sunday, but got too nervous about it hitting on the weekend *laugh*

Still calculating the submission date for Ch. 02, though I’m leaning toward having it come out at the beginning of the following week.

It will go in the queue at SOL either when it posts at Lit, or on Thursday.

On another note: I have almost 2k words written on SOTM 19 🙂
