SOTM Ch. 16 is in Roust’s hands.  He’s on an unfamiliar machine for the time being, so it may not be an under 24 hour turnaround.  I’m not planning on putting the chapter into the queue until Monday, anyway.  Aiming for that Thursday night at midnight release, as I have with the previous two chapters.

I’ll probably start on the editing for 17 shortly after finalizing this one, though I’m likely to wait at least two weeks before posting it.  After that, we’re going to be at the mercy of my muse again, I’m afraid.  The next chapter is at least progressing, where that hasn’t been the case in the last couple of years.

Lowborn also moving.  I was actually writing on it before coming to post this, and I’ll likely get another paragraph or so down before I have to pack it in and head off to work.

Not much done today, so far, and not much time left to write.  Necessary mundane tasks interfering, and a major thunderstorm forcing me to shut down the computer for safety’s sake, I’m afraid.

I did write a little on SOTM 18 this morning, and some on a story in my third pen name.  I’ll get at least a little of SOTM or Lowborn written tonight, but it won’t be much.

Bit of a late day at work, and I still had that content read to finish ( Done! ) as well as the tracking for the Earth Day contest, so I haven’t written anything yet tonight.  I did get down a couple more paragraphs this morning on Lowborn before I left for work, though.

Going to wind down from that read and chill for a few, then see if I can’t get a little more written on Lowborn before I need to crash for the night.

I would say I’m at the halfway point of this chapter of Lowborn ( they’ve been averaging about 5k words ) but I think this chapter is going to be a bit longer than the others.  It’s cruising right along, the descriptions are still flowing, and I’m really enjoying it.

I think there’s a good chance this one might stretch into 8 chapters now, though.  Works for me.  I’m not as concerned with keeping it confined to the original 6-7 chapter plan as I once was, and if that’s what it takes to tell the story, then that’s what it will take.

Still working on that content read, as well as adding a bit here and there to SOTM 18 and that story in my third name.

Still on a writing roll 😀  I’m going to give Roust a little jingle on email and see where he stands ( if he even has a computer to get it yet )  I’ll let y’all know.  The odds of getting SOTM 16 edited and into the queue tomorrow are slim, though.  That probably puts the release the following week, if Roust gets his computer up and running soon enough.

Okay, back to that content read for a little while.  I’m down to the last 8k words, and I’d like to knock it down to 5k at the least tonight, so I only have that much to finish tomorrow.

Oh yeah, this scene in Lowborn 06 is going well.  It’s a rip roaring, fast-paced ride for the beginning of the chapter.  The descriptions are just flowing easily, really painting the world, as well as the characters.  Writing on it when I can, which is when this child of mine is quiet enough I can think straight and he’s off playing by himself, as he often does.

Worked a little bit more on SOTM 18 as well.  Just not enough to really give a progress report.

Probably be more later on today.  I’ll decide whether to add a new post or just edit this one when the time comes.
