Got everything done

Well, I finally have the burden of the spring cleaning off my shoulders.  Lack of progress on that was making me feel guilty and putting me off writing, but it’s finally all done.

Probably finish a short story in my third pen name before I do anything else.  Then I think I’m going to get to the long-neglected edit of Lowborn 05 based upon the first-read impressions.

From there, we’ll just have to see what strikes me.

Oh yeah, “Amber Lamps” is out at Lit.  Yet another mid-afternoon posting.  I won’t be posting any more stories at Lit that aren’t in a contest during the contest.  It’s obvious that it’s just asking for losing half a day on the New list and completely screwing any chance that anybody will read the damn thing.

New LST3K is LIVE!

LST3K Ep. 11: Earth Duh

Go read, vote, and comment!

Seriously, vote and comment — please! Lit put the screws to me with a mid-afternoon posting, and it isn’t even visible on the NEW page yet! I need all the help I can get to get this one in front of readers.

Do it anonymous if you’d like. Hell, leave bad comments if you’d like *laugh* I’d much rather see people adding their own riffs to the story, but whatever you want to post is fine with me.

I don’t beg very often, but I’m going to this time *laugh* Any SOL readers, feel free to make a one-time crossover and enjoy me making fun of a really bad story.

Amber Lamps is also live at SOL and in the queue at Lit.  Here’s the Cover Image

Amber off for editing

Finally decided that there just wasn’t any better ending for Amber, so it’s off for editing.  That will probably put it in the queue at Lit and SOL within a couple of days.

Meanwhile, working on Lowborn and SOTM 17.  Today was the obligatory day of vacation rest.  Tomorrow is the heavy lifting of that home clean-up project.  The rest of the week should leave me free to write and rested enough to do so.

I’m guessing that the new LST3K will come out at midnight.  I’ll make a new post if it does.  Everybody read, vote, and comment on this one!  Make the badges of shame I’m having to wear on my Lit Favorites page worth the nightmare!

Secret doing well

Secret of the wood is holding a solid score with nice vote totals in the contest at Lit, and at last look, it was holding #6 on the monthly rating board at SOL as well.

Worked on SOTM a little tonight, but I think I still need a bit of time before I knuckle down.  I may try starting Ch. 06 of Lowborn, to see if that wakes me up.  I’ve been tinkering with Amber and some other things as well, but nothing is really singing to at me at the moment.  Once I can find one that will, the rest will usually follow.

Winding down a bit

I had a hard fight getting Secret ready for the contest in time, and it took a lot out of me.  This cold is still kicking my behind too, so I’ve been taking a little break.

I just put Secret in the queue at SOL, by the way.  It will probably come out with the morning crop of stories.  If you’re an SOL reader, feel free to pop over to Lit and vote for it there in the contest, though.  No need to sign up, just read and vote ( once!  No ballot box stuffing *laugh* )

Every vote counts, because trolls abound on Lit even more than they do on SOL due to no need for a login to vote.

I’m off tomorrow, so I’m hoping to get some extra sleep, and then wake up to see if I can get some writing done.  The next scene of SOTM has been brewing in my head, so that’s probably where I’ll start.
