My muse has ADD

*laugh*  Yeah, my muse went off on a tangent last night and started writing another summer story in my third name.  Once something gets in my head like this, I can’t get it out, and have to write it.  It’s at a couple thousand words right now.

Came back to Blessing this morning, after closing out the scene I’d started on the other story last night.  It’s rolling forward now, past the transition that was giving me fits.  Getting that imagery of the BWCA flowing that I love about this story, and working my way toward the next bit of action that advances the story and pushed my two protagonists together.

Now, back into the world of the Wood.

Another ready for editing

Got that summer story in my third name finished, and I’ll probably do my first pass edit on it tonight.  Should easily be ready to enter into the contest early next week.  No way I’m doing day one on a Sunday.

Did a little more work on Blessing, now that I have the other story off the plate.  Moving along, and it’s up to 3k words now.  Just finished a scene, and getting ready to move into the next one.  A little interlude before the next bit of action starts, tossing my two main characters together.

As always, I’m working on Lowborn and SOTM.  I may pause on Blessing here in a bit to get the rest of the next scene in SOTM done.  I think it’s gelled well enough to flow, which should bring me past the slight sticking point I was at.

Lowborn is still giving me a bit of a fit.  There’s several things I want to accomplish with this final chapter, but I want to get the flow right.

Back to work.

More brainstorms.

The title is far more literal than I’m letting on *laugh*  I figured out an important story element for Blessing today, and that’s going to get that story moving forward.

I actually decided to change the POV on another story I might write for the summer contest in my third name as well.  Just think it will come better from her POV than his, and the one I’m almost done with is his POV anyway.

Did some musing on SOTM and wrote a little when I got home as well.

Unfortunately, I’m having one of those nights were I can’t close my eyes to visualize without getting drowsy :p  Trying to wake up a little and see if I can’t get some wordage in, but it’s a tough fight.

One gold, another almost

Got back that story I finished recently from editing, and it’s ready to roll.  Almost done with my summer story in my third name as well.  Had an idea for another, but we’ll see what happens.

Working on Blessing and SOTM.  Still in bounce mode, so everything is moving forward, but nothing is leaping forward.

Still getting there, though.  Better than I’ve been doing for a while now :p

Bouncy, bouncy *laugh*

I’m bouncing around between three things right now:  Blessing, a summer story in my third name, and SOTM 18.  They’re all moving along, and it seems to be what’s working for the moment.  Every one of the stories is at a different sort of point, and my unpredictable muse seems to be able to latch on to at least one of them every time I come back from a decompression break.

About to hit some action in SOTM, which should be fun, and pump up the word count, bringing it closer to release.

May update this or add a post later, if there’s any major progress on any of the stories.

As I said earlier, I’m beginning to build some momentum.
