SOTM 17 in Roust’s hands

Just sent off SOTM 17 for final editing.

I just added the lightbox image library to the blog, so let us see if it works, shall we?

Here’s the image I’m using to advertise Ch. 17 in my sig at Literotica. WARNING: NSFW!

SOTM 17 Pic

Working like a charm 🙂

I’ve also written some on Ch. 18, more on Lowborn, and got a good start on that potential Nobles Next Gen story.  Going to get back to one or more of them once I post this.

I also posted some new maps of Xantina’s wood and the surrounding area on the forum, utilizing the custom modern house symbols I’ve made.  I like it much better than the default medieval fantasy style houses.  Also posted a closeup of the area around Kia’s house, just to show the detail that’s actually present in these maps when you zoom.

(Which will come in handy when I start doing region maps.  All I’ll have to do is zoom right into an area and get to work on finer details )

Off to write some more.  I’ll let you know when Roust finishes the edit, when the chapter goes in the queue, etc.

First pass edit on SOTM 17

Wasn’t in a writing frame of mind tonight, so I went for editing instead. Just finished my first pass edit of SOTM 17, so I’ll be sending it out to Roust this weekend.

I think I may experiment with submitting early on Tuesday this time, aiming for Thursday. The last two chapters posted on Wednesday when submitted on Monday, so we’ll see what happens. Not sure if that will be next week or the one after. Up to Roust’s schedule, how much work the first draft needs, and my own schedule.

I actually spent most of the day with a story running through my head. Long ago, I created a character for my PnP game called Suzanne, and I wrote a backstory for her. A modified version of that ( Halloween, Erotic Horror most likely ) was kicking around in my head all day long. I’ve wanted to write it for a while, but some recent things I’ve done in planning for SOTM actually sparked the best outline I’ve had for it to date.

It would be called “Flesh” and set in Danica’s world. As I said, it would probably be a Halloween contest story. Running parallel to that, I had some ideas to perhaps finish yet another Halloween story — the next in the Arts Ardane series, starring Danica, called “Barren Harvest”. I’ve been puttering with that draft for two years running now, and never finished it because there was just something off.

Think I may have it figured out, now.

With all the ideas and started files I have kicking around, I always have something to work on. Don’t know what was up with me tonight. I could have wrote plot stuff in SOTM or Lowborn. I could have written set-up in that Nobles Next Gen story. I could have written smut for Jackin’ Jill. Nothing was singing to me.

I considered working on the layout for the next set of pages in “My World” but that idea gave me the blahs as well. Likewise working on the header pics for the inside pages of “My World” Didn’t feel like mapping ( or building symbol catalogs )

At least finishing the edit for SOTM finally gave me something productive that I felt like doing tonight.

I’m going to work on getting the advertising image to put in my signature at Lit for SOTM 17 together for a few minutes, and then hit the sack. With some luck, I’ll feel like writing more tomorrow.

Bouncing around again

Yeah, it was another one of those bouncing around nights. I wrote a few paragraphs on SOTM, a few on Lowborn, the first couple of that potential Nobles Next Gen story, and some on Jackin’ Jill.

I’m getting close enough on Lowborn that I went ahead and started working on the images I use in my signature at Lit to advertise new stuff. They usually take a few days, so I wanted to at least get the layout and image choices together.

Which reminds me that I should get to work on the one for SOTM 17, since it’s getting closer to release.

Just sort of scattered tonight, and can’t really concentrate. Bouncing around at least kept me busy and got some wordcount under my belt.

Little bits

I sort of jumped around tonight. I wrote a bit more on SOTM 18, and got the beginning of Lowborn 08 down.

I also wrote a bit on that new Les story. I’ve decided that I’m going to leave it all in one category — Mature. It’s still going to be a multi-chapter story, but just not category hop. Using the catch-all of mature lets me throw in all kinds of sexual situations without going outside hte bounds of the category.

She’s a cougar camgirl, and he’s a nineteen year old virgin who plays White Knight in her chat room. The story is called “Jackin’ Jill”. Now that I’ve decided to make it a Les story, I whipped up a cover image for it tonight.

The nice thing is that it ( and Lowborn ) are already in my story database, simply awaiting links to Lit and SOL. I had the foresight to add a public bit to the databases, allowing me to enter in stuff and keep it hidden until release, at which point I can just switch the bit, and it’s available for public viewing.

Okay, bed time.

SOTM 18 moving

Finished the scene where I’d left off last and a brief villain/foreshadowing scene in SOTM 18. Also started the file for that Nobles Next Generation Nude Day story, though all I have in it right now is my placeholder description.

It’s in the site updates, but I finished the cover for LST3K Ep. 06: Witch Season tonight as well.

Experimented with the city level part of the new mapping software, and it’s learning curve time again =P Getting a little bit of a hang of it, but will probably take a couple of days. I’m going to work on Danica’s hometown first, since that’s a pretty small place. Once I get that done, I’ll probably start sketching in Montbank, the town Zoraster has under his thumb. ( A frequent location in Danica )

Trying to get the basics down to produce at least one map at each level, so I have something to show off, and use when building the templates for the “My Work” page.

On other fronts, that one story I mentioned is absolutely migrating to Les. I believe it might just end up being a category crossing multi-chapter — my first. The first chapter will be in “First Time”. The second is probably going to be anal, then the last will be FFM Group sex.

Off to bed. Getting close to a reportable percentage on the next chapter of SOTM, and I might try to finish the first pass edit of Ch. 17 tomorrow in preparation to get it posted.
