Barren Harvest is in the queue

I put Barren Harvest in the queue at Lit.  Hoping it will post at midnight, but it should be up in less than 24 hours.

Hope you enjoy it!  As soon as I see it post, I’ll add the info for it to the website, and put it in the queue for SOL the next morning.

Barren Harvest in Roust’s hands

Barren Harvest is off for editing.  So, barring any complications, I’m on target to submit for a Thursday night release.

Working on my other one now.  If I get it finished ( likely ) that will be two new tales in Danica’s world coming out within the next couple of weeks — one starring the lovely lass herself 🙂

Editing started on Harvest

Just finished my first cold read of Barren Harvest.  Made a few wording changes and added some scenery spice, but I’m otherwise happy with it.

I’ll do the nuts-n-bolts first pass edit in a little while, then get it off to Roust.  Since it’s been a while since I’ve mentioned it, this is the next in the Arts Ardane series, as well as a Halloween story that gives more details about the Harvest Festival in Danica’s world.

After that, I’m going to get back to Flesh.  I’ve been mulling it over, and I might just change it up a little.  I hit a snag last night where I was having trouble dealing with how the characters would react — as well as feeling as if the story was dragging.  There are a couple of neat scenes that I really like, but I’m having trouble getting them to flow with the overall story.  I may just have to scrap them and save them for another tale.

Just have to see what happens.

3500 and rolling along

3500 words on Flesh and moving nicely.  There’s only a little more to the build-up of this one beyond what I’ve written.  It’s going to come to a head fairly quickly — and nastily.  It is horror, after all.

Probably start editing on Barren Harvest tomorrow after work.  I’m still aiming for a Thursday night release on that one.

Working on Flesh

Well, I had a brainstorm on Flesh just as soon as I said I was going to let it stew for a while *laugh*  So, it’s underway.  With only so much time left to submit ( 20 days isn’t much at the rate I write sometimes :/ ) it will probably be the only other major story I submit.  The Wood series is just going to have to wait a little longer, most likely.

I’ll probably begin the editing process on Harvest tonight, aiming for a Thursday release.

Back to work.
