Second Chance off for editing

Just sent that taboo tale off for editing, so it should be ready for the contest in time to post it Thursday to appear Friday morning.

Got a bit more done on Lowborn, and tweaked some of what I’d already written.  Building up to the culmination, so I want the pacing to be perfect when it hits the final action.

I did the database work for the new “Shorts” section, so now I need to get down to business coding the pages.  I’m hoping to have that done in a couple of weeks, but you never know.  At the rate I’m writing across several stories, I don’t want to break that momentum for very long on something else.

A little wind down after the edit, and I’ll see which of the open files is singing to me to write on tonight.

1500 on Lowborn

Finished Second Chance earlier this morning.  I’ll start on the editing process for it later on today.

In the meantime, I jumped back on Lowborn and got up to the 1500 word mark.  I’ll be continuing with that shortly, after I’ve taken a break.  A little plot revelation, and this one is going to heat up.

Don’t think it’s going to be long before I finish it.  With any luck, I’ll have it done and a full cold read finished before the Summer Lovin’ contest at Lit ends.  That would put me in a perfect position to get the first chapter edited and post it right after the end of the contest.

It will feel so good to have a couple of months worth of regular weekly postings rolling.

First Devan story done

Just finished the first of that trilogy of Devan shorts.  I’ll probably finish them all before I post any of them on the new “shorts” section, which I still have to code *laugh*

Got a little done on Lowborn.  I’m almost to the big, final conflict now.  Once I hit that, it should be a quick run to the ending.  Hoping conditions around here are conductive to writing this weekend.

Probably going to start on a new taboo story for the summer contest soon.  It’s been bugging me during musing sessions for Lowborn and SOTM, so I think I’m going to have to get the darn thing out of my head *laugh*

Thumbs up from M.L.

Got a thumbs-up back from Mistress Lynn on the updated draft of Beauty of the Wood, so it’s going into final editing now.  If all goes well, it will be going up at SOL late next week.  The edit will go in at Lit at the same time, but who knows when it will actually process there.

Creeping along on Lowborn.  There are a couple of scenes where I need some serious visualization to get things right, and the boy has been making that difficult *laugh*  I’ll find the quiet time soon enough, I’m sure.

Probably halfway through the first of what it turns out will be three Devan stories prior to the first Arts Ardane ( aka “Devan’s Decision” )  The first one is going to be called “Devan: First Touch”, I believe.

These will be website exclusive stories, heavy on sex and light on substance.  There’s not going to be any greater plot in most of these “Shorts” as I’m calling them other than getting to the naughty bits.  You may very well get a look at some character evolution, though.  Devan is going to be far more innocent in these stories than we’ve seen her in posted stories, for example.

Back to writing — probably on either Lowborn or the new Devan short.  Not in the right mood to edit on Beauty right now.  I’ll do that tomorrow when I’m fresh.

Little slowdown

Long days at work and a twinge in my back today ( cured with a muscle relaxer and a few hours sleep ) have kept me from getting much done.

I’m still writing a bit here and there on Lowborn, though.  Should be able to knock out a good chunk of it on the weekend, at the least, if I don’t get more done before now and then.  I’m in the climax now, and that’s been “written” in my head for a very long time, so there aren’t any roadblocks ahead.

I’d love to finish it this weekend, so I can get the editing process going next week.  That could potentially put the first chapter out in a couple of weeks.

Crossing my fingers.
