Didn’t feel like doing any more editing tonight, so I started that silly little story that I’ve mentioned before.  I’m just going to refer to it as “Amber” for now.

This story will go in Sci-Fi/Fantasy as Les, and it’s a heck of a lot different from most of my writing set in the ‘real world’.  Promiscuity and girl-on-girl fun will abound, but Amber and Rachel aren’t going to go without male companionship, either.

This one’s going to be fun.

Just finished the imagery pass on Secret.  Just the grammar/spelling grind left before I send it out for first reads.

I’ll probably work on something else tonight, though.  Not sure whether that will be editing on Lowborn, or working on one of the other focus strories in progress.  I’ll figure it out in a bit.

I was actually going to write tonight, but I’m just not feeling it.

I’m working on the next pass through Secret, though I think I’m only going to get about halfway there before I crash.  This is the painting the scenery pass, bringing the world into focus around my characters.  The birds singing, the wind blowing, the green of the leaves, pine needles crunching underfoot…

You get the picture 😉

We’ll see how far I make it.  Who knows, I might have a final burst of energy before I drop off.

Decided to concentrate on weaving the threads of the Earth Day theme deeper into Secret first.  I ended up deciding that it really only needed a touch or two here and there at the beginning, and those few sentences bind everything together nicely.  I added a couple of paragraphs to the sex along the way, bridging what I though was too sudden of a shift to the climax for the scene.

So that’s half the task.  Well, half the task of the storytelling part.  Next up is painting the scenery around my characters in better detail.  I still need to go through after all this and do the nuts-n-bolts check for grammar and spelling.  My guess is that I’ll be ready to send it off for the impression read this weekend.

I think I’m going to jump into a silly idea that popped into my head from a sort of internet sensation floating around right now.  It isn’t even connected to the sensation, really.  I use a couple of lines from it to build the story around, and I’ll probably allude to the original phenomenon, but it’s otherwise just a silly tale with a different feel from a lot of my writing.  It will be coming out as a Les Lumens story, and will probably be a relatively short story.  This will be my first tale with what’s generally classified as a “college atmosphere”, and will be a fantasy story set in the real world.

Not going to say much more about this one until it comes out *laugh*
