Make that 6400

Up to 6400 on the new Laresa story.  I’m not far away from the turning point of the story, which rapidly moves into the heat.

Monday is likely to be a nightmare at work.  Spillover from Thanksgiving.  Beyond that, I’m not sure what it’s going to be like.  The one thing I do know is that I’m off Friday 🙂

Still hoping to finish it before then, though.  I’d like to get it done in time to let it simmer before I do my first pass edit, and then have plenty of time to pass it to Roust for a release on the 6th, the next to the last day of the contest submission period.

After that, I’m absolutely jumping back to Lowborn and SOTM.  If I have a really good idea for Valentine’s, I’ll write it, but otherwise, those two and planning for the next Earth Day Magic of the Wood have priority.

4k on Laresa

About to put my two protagonists in their new ‘home’ for the biggest part of the story.  That’s when the story is going to start simmering toward a boil 😉

Still flowing nicely.  It’s fun writing Laresa again, even if she’s serving a nearly supporting role to the two main characters.

Up to 2600 on Laresa

Got to work on “His Christmas Wish” today, and the new Laresa story is moving nicely.

I just finished putting one protagonist in place, and the second will be along any moment.  A few paragraphs will put them both where they need to be for the story to unfold.

With three more days off ahead of me — one of which will be full quiet time with the young one off at his grandparents — I should be able to make nice progress.

Yep, getting there.

The direction I’m going now with Lowborn is feeling right.  Have a big fight, a reveal, and a big character development point all coming together in this one scene.  Maybe I’ve finally got it right.

Center Piece is also up to 3k words, though I have no idea how close to finished that is.  Mainly, that’s because the sex scenes of which I still have one and a half to go, tend to evolve on the fly.  Never have any idea how long one of them is going to last, and the second one is going to be a doozy.

Beyond that, there’s only a few brief scenes between the naugty bits that build up the tension and set up the ending.  If I can find enough quiet time, I hope to finish it soon.

The Laresa story still feels perfect every time I write a little of it.  I’m trying to concentrate on Lowborn and Center Piece, though.  The first, because I’m so damned close.  The second because it’s Thanksgiving themed and the Laresa story is Christmas themed.  Makes sense to finish the one before the other there.

My muse still draws me to write a little of Laresa or SOTM here and there, though.

I should really start at least preliminary planning for the next Magic of the Wood as well, so I don’t miss Earth Day this year.

Just thought I’d drop a little update.  Should be some new stuff soon.  Hoping that includes Lowborn and the next chapter of SOTM, but at the very least, I should have contes stories coming out.

Another 500 on Laresa

Almost done with the setup that will get to the heart of the story in the new Laresa Christmas tale.  This one is going to be a little different from the others, because Laresa isn’t going to be the sexual focus of the story.

Mind you, there’s going to be plenty of hot, sweet sex in it, though 😉

Also did a little work on Center Piece, and a lot of musing on Lowborn.  I’m so close to finishing Lowborn I can taste it, but this little section I’m working on is SO critical.

I’m thinking about moving on and writing on the ending, to see if that helps inspire me a little.  If nothing else, it will crank up the word count and help me feel a little better about myself.

I have trouble making myself do that, though.  It’s one of the reasons stories sit completely idle, and then suddenly spring to finished in a short period of time.  I work out a little problem section, and all I have to do is type out the rest of the story, which as been sitting all but complete in my head for ages.

Hoping to get back to working on the Shorts page as well.  I’d like to have that done before Christmas, because there’s a themed story I’d like to add to that page.  It’s a much requested continuation that I don’t feel has enough meat on the bones to post on the story sites, but which I think the readers of the original will enjoy for the pure sexual heat.

Not much really left to do on that from the backend standpoint.  I’ll have to double-check where I left off because it’s been so long.  Should have kept notes somewhere other than in these blog posts 😛

I hate to launch it with only the first of the Devan trilogy, but maybe I can finish a second or that Christmas continuation before I do it.  With a lot of scheduled days off coming up soon, I’m going to have a lot of quiet time to get things done while the young one is off at school.

That is, provided I can manage to convince my body not to use every moment of it to catch up on all the sleep I miss.

From Thanksgiving to after Christmas, I don’t work 5 full days any week.  Just waiting on someone to miss a day or two who has a full week vacation scheduled that week so I can pop a day or two into Christmas week *laugh*  If I can get Monday, I’ll have a five day weekend that covers Christmas and Christmas Eve.

My plan is to take a week of vacation very early ( hopefully the first week ) of January as well.

Enough bloggin’.  Back to writing.
