Had a major flash of inspiration, and I had to let it run wild.  I’ve had far too few visits from my muse of late, and I wasn’t about to argue with her when she started singing.  This will be an entry in the Lit Valentine’s contest, which starts on the 20th.  It will have at least a 24 hour exclusive there, so that I can garner as many votes as possible before I release it anywhere else.  I know some will only read on SOL, but if you’re willing to take advantage of the early release and leave me a vote, it would be much appreciated.  The votes determine the winners in the contest.

The story is set in my fantasy world, but there aren’t any characters you’ll recognize from my other stories.

Okay, I finished a couple more scenes on SOTM 11.  It seems to be flowing again, and I’m building up to some pretty good action scenes in the near future.  Magical combat, armies at war, marauding goblins…  Just a few of the things in the near future.  Let’s not forget the demons, either.

Just thought I’d drop a quick line to say that it’s moving, since I didn’t say anything for so long.  Sorry about that.

So much for keeping up, eh?

Sorry, I’ve just been having a tough time with lack of muse, real life, and my computer being a pain in the ass.  I’m hoping I have some things sorted out now.  I’m working on some stories in my other pen name, so my muse is at least returning.  I looked at Ch. 11 of SOTM and ended up deleting half of what I wrote while my muse was packing for her trip to wherever she was going.  I believe I have it pared back to a point I can work from again.  I simply was writing complete crap there for a while, and those who read me deserve better than that.

I’m going to put on the Chrono Cross soundtrack later tonight and open up Ch. 11 to see if I can’t get Danica to speak to me again tonight, and I’ll do my best to update again with more regularity.

Meanwhile, Laresa has earned another gold star with Ch. 24 taking the March Category nomination for Chain stories at Literotica.

Keep your eye on my alternate pen-name for a story or two in the near future.  Hopefully, that’s a harbinger of new work coming out with this one as well.

Apologies, everyone.  I hope a few of the anonymous people catch this.  My muse simply went on a long vacation without even leaving a note.  I couldn’t write anything that didn’t make me gag for a couple of weeks, so I finally put down my pen for a while.  I’m working back into it slowly.  I have a story almost finished in my alternate pen name, and then I’m going to return to SOTM and see if I can get it rolling again.  I’ll try to keep updating here a little more frequently, so y’all know I’m alive.

SOTM 10 is out at Lit, and in the queue at SOL.

Work on 11 continues apace, but I’ve had a couple of days of little sleep, so it isn’t flying like 10 did.
