Started working on the next chapter of Lowborn, and that got my juices flowing again. I’m going to get a couple scenes into that, and then see about jumping ahead past a transition in SOTM that’s vexxing me straight into the action. I can visualize that pretty well, so I’m just going to write that and come back to the sticking point later.

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.
Got a little done
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.
Secret of the Wood Live
My Earth Day Contest story at Lit is up!

Go give it a read and a vote! I’ll take this opportunity, as I do in the end notes of the story, to say only vote once. Don’t stuff the ballot box 🙂 Those extra votes just get swept away anyhow.
On the same token, don’t try any shenanigans of down-voting other people’s stories to give mine a better chance. But do read and vote honestly on as many stories as you can. It’s hard to make it to the 25 votes to qualify sometimes, especially for a newcomer.
I’ll post this at SOL in a couple of days, after it’s had some exclusivity time at Lit in deference to the contest.
