Maybe a Lowborn breakthrough

Had a flash of inspiration this morning right after putting the young one on the bus.  Jumped on the computer and typed out the notes while it was all still fresh in my mind, before I had to run off to work.

I won’t know for sure until I start writing it, but this may be that final piece that gets me over the hump of the final big scene and gets the first draft of this DONE.

Can’t remember whether I mentioned it, but Missionary Impossible went into the downloads section yesterday, and Kindled in Fiction ( both chapters in one download ) today.

Also still working on Friend of the Wood.  That one clears up in my head a little more all the time as well.

EDIT ( a little later ) Cut out about 600 words from the final chapter of Lowborn where I’d ground to a halt, went back and added a new scene that sets up my flash of inspiration.  So far, it’s going well.  I’m liking the exchange of dialogue, and I think it’s going to lead me where I need to go.  More as soon as I’ve written some more.

Don’t know if that will be tonight, because the noise level just went up around here =P  We’ll see.

Getting better

A week off to rest, finishing the last of the things that needed done with the  new car, and coming back today to reduced hours ( should be back down to around 40-45 for a while ) has me in much better shape.

I have the last story of the Devan trilogy for the Web Shorts page back from editing, and I’ll be posting it soon.  I’m going to try to finish my Earth Day story, even though the contest is closed to new entries, because it isn’t quite Earth Day yet.  I really hated missing last year, and I’d like not to repeat that.  I’d overcomplicated the story a little, which is what kept me from finishing it in time for the contest.  Now that I’ve pared it down, I’m hoping I can get it done in time for Earth Day.

Naturally, I’m going to try to get the next chapter of SOTM moving again, and try to get frikkin’ Lowborn finished so I can post it after all this time.

Starting Vacation

I’m on vacation next week, and I’m going to try to get back on track.  Even though my hours at work have dropped a little, the last month or so have seen an exponential increase in daily aggravation.  So, every hour feels like two or three.

Ugh..

Anyway, with a week off, I hope to rejuvenate and try to get back to writing and working on the website.

I upgraded a lot of the underlying software today.  Appears to have gone off without a hitch.  Keeping my fingers crossed.

Have that first draft of Devan:Deflowered ready for editing.  I’ve just been too tired and beat down to do it.  Should be able to finish that and get it posted next week on the Web Shorts page.

Otherwise, my focus for the short term will be the next entry in the Magic of the Wood series.  I really hated missing Earth Day last year, and I’d like to avoid repeating that.

Now we’re getting somewhere

Just finished the first draft of “Devan: Deflowered” for the Web Shorts page here on the website.

Also have about 2800 words written on “Friend of the Wood”, which I hope will be this year’s Earth Day story for the contest at Lit.

So, after my long zombie period, I’m finally getting some writing done.  Going to chill out for a little bit, and then get back to the wood.  I’ll let Devan sit for a day or two before I go in to do my first pass edit.

Okay, Laz has changed his posting schedule since the last time I posted a new story *laugh*  He wasn’t posting anything at midnight, and apparently he’s back to doing that again.

So, Beauty of the Wood is live at SOL

This is the new, full edit.  Sorry it took so long.  Hope you enjoy it, and remember to vote.  Comments are naturally most appreciated.

EDIT:  Just checked, and to my surprise, the new edit is also available at Literotica.  I was expecting it to take a week for that to process, but it’s already up.
