And we’re at 7100

Up to 7100 words on SOTM 17, which should be right around 3/4 of the chapter.  It depends upon how long the sex scene that’s coming up ends up running.

Also finished the new ending for Lowborn Ch. 06.

Kind of a toss-up where I’ll go when I get back from the weekly trip to the store.  I have a little “interlude” plus a sex scene coming up in SOTM.  I can get Lowborn 07 started.  I have yet another third pen name story pretty much congealed.  I also have an awful beach story that I might LST3K for the Summer contest.

Just have to see what strikes me, I guess.  Probably drop a line later tonight to say what it was.

One down.

I did a bit of writing on SOTM 17 and Lowborn, but I was in the mood to write smut yesterday, I guess.  I put the finishing touches on that story in my third pen name this morning.

I’m going to take a nap since the young one hasn’t got up yet, and then see about finishing the addition to Lowborn before diving back into the scene I’m writing in SOTM.  Not long after this scene is some more hanky-panky, so I can keep that smut-writing thing rolling there *laugh*

A day off… Maybe

The boy’s up and about tonight, unlike the last two nights where he went to bed at a decent hour.  I was just starting to breathe a sigh of relief at him getting on a decent schedule, so him staying up again has my muse sitting in the corner in a huff.

He is starting to look a little droopy-eyed, though.  If he drops off, I may dive into something for a while.  I’m about to hit a little action sequence ( And I do mean little.  It’s going to be a real “Roar!”, “Eeek!”, -Magic-, “What just happened?” sort of thing ) and that requires a lot of visualization, which will require me not sitting here irritated at the boy fighting to get off a schedule again.

After that, it’s a little plot teasing, then a mixture of character development and sex, and finally the closer that ties together the beginning of the chapter.

I think I may read back through the last chapter of Lowborn I wrote tonight and refresh my memory on that.  Might even put a couple of paragraphs for the next chapter down, just to get it started.  Having a document saved — no matter how miniscule — seems to give me something to push toward and motivate me.

Watching my latest story in my third pen name.  It had its run at SOL, and now it’s enjoying a good showing at Lit as well.  The feedback from my writing is always encouraging.  Maybe that will help me get over being irritated at the young one *laugh*

EDIT — Just read back through Lowborn Ch. 06, and I don’t like where I left off.  The chapter is a little short anyway, so I think I may be finishing that one rather than starting a new one.  I changed my mind about how the next scene is going to go down, and a little more added to this chapter will give me a more exciting cliffhanger.

Another 400 or so.

Only managed to get another 400 or so words written on SOTM 17 today, but I did a lot of musing on the upcoming scenes at work.  Weekend is coming up, so I’m hoping to have the opportunity for a flurry of writing like I did last week.  That could very well put this chapter close to, if not completely done.

Finished my cold read of Kindred, and alerted ML that it’s ready for hacking and slashing.  Got back Ride from Roust, and it’s in the queue at Lit for the contest.

Off to relax for a bit, then I’ll probably write a little more — either on SOTM or a third-pen name story that I started.  Depends upon which one is singing to me.

6300 on SOTM 17

Finally finished that scene that’s been getting bits and pieces for a while now — basically since my last little flurry of writing motivation.  The next jumps to the witches three, and then comes back to Danica and Marlena for some… interesting interaction.

After that, it’s a cliffhanger related to the opening scene of this chapter, and it should be done.  It’s quite possible that this will be a longer than usual chapter.

Sent “Ride No More” off for final editing.  Odds are that I’ll have it back in short order, and get it in the queue for the contest.  I’m sort of delaying Kindred a bit, both so I could work on SOTM, and so it will come out after the start of the contest.  Sort of spread out the steady climb of numbers and stream of comments that always makes unleashing a new story worthwhile.

Plus, I should have at least one in my third pen name to enter as well.  This contest should provide plenty of long-lived positive feedback to pump me up for more writing.  I think I’ll actually write on that one a little before I go to bed, and start back fresh into the next scene of SOTM tomorrow.
