Danica 19 Editing Complete

I have the corrections for Danica 19 in hand from my proofreader, so I’ll be finishing it up and submitting it tonight.  It will go in the queue tonight, so somewhere five to seven days from now, it should be live at Lit.  I’ll post a link here as soon as it hits.

I just finished Sister’s Shadow, Chapter 2, and I’ll be sending it off to my editor momentarily.  Keep in mind, this will be a Storiesonline exclusive story, so if you want to read it and you’re from Lit, you’ll have to venture over there to read it.  There’s one more chapter in the story to go.  I’ll keep everyone posted on the progress.

I’m also in the midst of working on two more LST3K stories.  I have some offers of help to riff on them this time, with some excellent ( and hillarious ) commentary examples from Falling to Fly at Lit.  This one is going to come out good with some good quippage from her 🙂

I’ll probably build a web presence for LST3K, seperate from my fantasy stories.  Already have an initial title graphic, as a matter of fact, and a lil’ bugger to put other places.

I’m also working on the map of Egoria, at least the wide view.  I’ll put more detail into each of the duchies eventually.

Danica 19 Finished

Danica 19 is DONE!  I just put it in the hands of the welcome soul who has been proofreading all my work at Lit ( and providing me several hours of corrections once I get started on them *laugh* )  Once it gets back, I’ll go through any suggestions offered and get it in to Lit.  I’ll post here immediately after I submit.

Sister’s Shadow, chapter 2, is underway as well.

Off to bed, I’m spent.  LMAO

Danica 19 almost finished

Danica 19 only has a couple of scenes left to write.  I’ll probably finish it tonight, but I’m not going to give great odds on it passing through the spell-check and final read process.  Maybe, but I wouldn’t count on it.  Even if I do complete my editing process tonight, I’m going to pass it through a proofreader who has recently begun going back through the entire body of my work and catching things for me.  All those fixes will appear at Lit eventually, but there are a lot of them, at least one in every posted story, I believe.  Thus, the final submission date for 19 will be up to when he can finish the proofread.

Sister’s Shadow continues to move, slowly.  I’ve been concentrating on Danica, when I had time to write.

For giggles, here’s something I just released.  It’s not Fantasy, but Humor.  I’ll probably do more of these in the future, and likely create a special website for them as well.

The Tale of Benjamin Royson

If you’ve ever seen Mystery Science Theatre 3000, that is what this story is.  Spoofing really cheezy erotica with witty commentary.

F’N Work!

Old news sent off to the cache

Okay, I’ve been having a nightmare at work.  Long hours, and they’re trying to railroad me on my FMLA reduced work schedule, writing me up on attendance in the process.  Needless to say, it has been killing my muse dealing with them.  The DOL is involved now, on my side, and making me feel a little better, but starting back to work tomorrow may be a muse killer again.  It’s not over just yet.

Danica 19 is about half done.  Half of what is done was written yesterday, and more will go down today.  Likewise, I’ll probably write more of “Sister’s Shadow”, the next Arts Ardane, today as well.  That story will be a storiesonline exclusive.

I have a new reader going through and pointing out *numerous* errors in the older chapters of Danica.  I’m going through making the corrections as they are found, glad to have another set of eyes catching all those bugger ups.  I’ll start submitting them to Lit eventually.

Apologies for the lack of news, for those waiting, but I didn’t even have the mental capacity to do this, let alone write, for the last week or so.

Lots of stuff off for editing

I’ve had a very productive weekend.

My Halloween story is done.  “Harvest of Blood” ( title change again ) is in the hands of a couple of people for first reads.  I’ll see what they think, and then proceed from there.  Even if it doesn’t get entered for Halloween, it will certainly get posted as Erotic Horror.

“Laresa’s World – Outlaw’s Redemption” is back from editing.  All I need is the preceding chapters to get in my hands so I can tweak it a little based upon those chapters.

“Queen Alicia” is finished, and now in the hands of Roust for slicing and dicing.

So, with all those backlogged ideas out of my head:

I do vouchsafe that I, being the mightiest knight on life, shall take immediately to horse and ride forth into the face of a quest that surely would cause a lesser man to quaver as though striken with cruel eld, turning and fleeing as if a beaten cur, there to fulfill the destiny that hath been lain upon mine broad shoulders.

In other words, I’m going to be writing full-tilt on Danica 20 in just a few minutes 😉
