Still writing on SOTM 15. I’ve passed Ch. 14 through my first pass edit, but I haven’t sent it off to Roust just yet. I’m still hoping to get a fair distance into 15 so I can try to get on something resembling a posting schedule.
If you take a peek at “Blackhawk Hall”, you’ll discover that it has a brand new edit, now live at both SOL and Lit. It’s the same story, just better! I’ve brought the word choice and sentence structure more in line with current work.
I’m also in the process of editing Casting off Convention for the same reasons. I’ll probably do Queen Alicia and King Thakkorias as well.
I know everyone would probably prefer that I use that time for writing, but working on the edits actually is one of the things I’ve found that keeps my juices flowing so that I can write. I’ve went through a lot of long dry spells, and working on the edits keeps my hand in, which seems to allow me to pick up new stories and keep working.
I’ve also started on a new story starring Mindblind, which will happen at about the same time as CoC and Merchant Princess.
Don’t forget about my contest enteries, linked below. Also remember to vote only once. Don’t down-vote other stories to try to improve my standings, either. Multi-votes and troll voting are likely to result in all of your votes vanishing with the Lit vote sweeper comes by. Just don’t do it.
Speaking of troll voting, I have a new one. Someone went through my whole list and 1 voted everything *laugh* The Hoover will get them all eventually, because the pattern is so obvious. The amount of effort people waste to 1-bomb stories is chuckle worthy. If you’re out there, trollio — HA!
