Just finished my first pass edit of MP and sent it off to Roust.  He’s usually pretty quick on the draw, so I could have it in the queues as early as tomorrow evening.  No promises, but it should be soon.  It will come up at SOL before Lit, because I haven’t been delaying this series as I do with SOTM to release simultaneously.  Lit’s lag time has decreased quite a bit in recent months, though.  Shouldn’t take too long for it to clear the queue and hit the New page there either.

Wrote a couple more scenes for SOTM 14 last night, and I’ll probably write a couple more tonight.  It seems to be flowing well, and I’m getting ready to hit another part of the plot that’s well established in my head.  As soon as I launch into that, I might just be able to keep rolling for a while, and keep fairly regular chapters coming.

Here’s to hope!

Also have the bare bones of an idea for the Lit Winter contest.  Just have to see how that goes.  It will be another piece of the holiday lore of my world, a bit like Harvest of Blood, Grandfather Yule, and While Cupid’s Away…

I’ll pop back in when MP is moving into the queues.

Old news moved off to the cache.

Still struggling with time, lack of sleep, and motivation.  I did finish the final chapter of Merchant Princess just a few minutes ago, however.  I’m going to let it simmer for a day or two, and then work on the edits.  In the meantime, I’m jumping back into SOTM while my juices are flowing again for the time being.

I’ll post up when SOTM 14 hits any milestones.

These two – I swear! Well, the naughty bits ran long in the “final” chapter of MP, so the wrap up is actually going to happen in Ch. 06. I have them back in contact with home already in that chapter, so this will be the final chapter *laugh*

I have Ch. 05 off for editing, and I’ll put it in the queues as soon as I get it back. No delaying until I’ve finished six.

UPDATE: Ch. 05 is now in the queue at both Lit and SOL. I scheduled it to come out tomorrow at SOL, and it should be out in 4-5 days at Lit. If you’ve been waiting for sex in this story, this is your chapter =)

I’m about ¾ done with the final chapter of Merchant Princess. Just a couple of scenes left to wrap it up. Still working on SOTM 14 as well. Finding a little more time to write the last few days, and a little more time to sleep so that I’m coherant when I do it =P

I’ll drop another line when I finish MP.
