Ending of Heart finished

Finished the ending this morning, coming in right at that 12k word bar where I thought the whole story would fall.  Now, I just need to go back and write the sex *laugh*

Think I have the right transition from the lead-in to that in my head now, so with some luck, that will flow and get finished today as well.

Edit later in the day:

Getting there.  The rewritten transtion works, and I’m back to having them both topless.  The pace seems to be working for me, starting out slowly with lots of build-up, but about to turn into something far more hot and heavy.

That’s the primary reason why I’m pausing right now.  I just can’t write the main heat of something like that with the young one awake ( for the obvious reasons, and because of the noise associated with him being up )

I started writing on the opening of an Earth Day story in my third name, which I think will carry the theme well, unlike the other ideas that I had, which will probably end up as regular, non-contest stories.  Could be quite a few of those coming out soon.

Opened both SOTM and Lowborn, but both of those suffer from the second part of why I can’t write the sex in Heart right now.  Just too noisy to visualize properly, and I need that in everything that I’m set to write in those two.  That’s why I went with the 2nd Earth Day story.  Tales in my third name aren’t as labor/visualization intensive.  They’re more geared toward gratification, so the “storyline” is just a matter of setting up for that.

Anyway, I’m working on that and waiting for the young one to go down for the night.  Considering that he only slept about 6 hours last night, it shouldn’t be long.

Gonna be longer than I thought

I was estimating that Heart would come out about 12k words, but I’m almost there with the ending still not quite finished, and the sex not even written!

Looking more in the range of 16k words now for the first draft.

So much for getting done by Thursday, huh?  At least the ending is flowing perfectly.  The sex was giving me fits, and this is a nice contrast.

Back to it.
