Back to work

I wrote a bit on Lowborn last night/today, some on a story in my third pen name, and did some reading/editing on other stuff I haven’t posted yet.

Also working on another obscure game for a Let’s Play, again by Taito, called “Dungeon Magic” for the NES.  Hard as hell.  I remember it gave me fits when I first played it *laugh*

Probably jump back to Lowborn after I have a bite to eat, although I’m seriously considering getting at least my story listings and covers online.  I’m really slacking on getting the website back up and running.

A wee vacation

Took a wee vacation from writing.  Inspection coming up at work, and I’ve been spending too much time with a 30 ft. pole held over my head, staring for cobwebs on the ceiling.  Neck, shoulders, and back killing me 😛

Going to give it a shot tonight, as we got out of the cobweb duty.  A couple of aspirin and a nap might do the trick.

Earth Day Winner

Secret of the Wood took the top spot in Literotica’s Earth Day contest.  Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who read, voted, and commented.  Xantina is all giggles 😉

Lowborn and A Royal Sacrifice

I’m going to start this one off by saying that the long delayed end of the “A Royal Sacrifice” chain is out.

A Royal Sacrifice Ch. 23

A beautiful end to a wonderful story. Some of the chapters are missing, as one of the authors has left Lit, but give it a read if you missed this series.

I really liked Guy’s character, and I may very well port him into my world at some point.

As to me, I got back on track and writing.  It seems that reading was the spark I needed this time.  I read part of the first chapter of the new Feist novel, and it lit a fire under me.  I’m itching to get back to the book, but I’m not going to miss the chance to write while I’m feeling it, either.  A Feist book almost never lasts more than 24 hours before I finish it.

I finished the edit on Lowborn 05 and got back to work on 06.  I’m leading up to the penultimate conflict, so we’re nearing the point where this one will actually see the light of day at last.

Musing SOTM 17 as well.  I’m right at the transition into a battle, followed by something quite important to the continuing journey.

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.
