There we go

Finally got my custom blog header and buttons back on the blog after updating to the new WordPress and theme. I’m just glad that it didn’t take me as long to remember how to do it as it took to figure out how to do it in the first place *laugh*

That’s the main thing that’s keeping me from really getting the website back online. After so long away from it, PHP is intimidating. If I can just get my act together and code one lousy original page, I’d probably be on enough of a roll to get something going, but I can’t seem to find that place just yet.

Anyhow, off to write a little.

Got a little done

Wrote a little on SOTM 17 this morning. The scene has been playing out in my head for a while, and it’s finally coming out on paper.

Other things have been flitting around as well… I may be changing the direction of how this part of the story ends. I’m not really changing any outcomes, just the point at which SOTM is going to end. Some things may get moved to the third book of the trilogy. The more I think about it, the more sense it makes.

We’ll see 😀

I really need to get all my mods back into this blog *laugh* I’ve been lazy. I’ll try to get that together tomorrow.

Internet went out

Well, my internet has been down for the last day or so. Spent way too much of that time on the phone with barely understandable people in India or somewhere going through troubleshooting B.S. that I’d already done before they finally transferred me to the “2nd level” in the states. A few minutes of conversation that I could actually understand, and they tracked down the problem to their local hub.

Been musing, and I’m going to give a shot and writing some of it here in a little bit.

Ain’t gonna make it

Well, I pretty much know how Sanctuary needs to go. Problem is, it’s going to be a much longer story, and there’s no way I can finish it in time for the contest *laugh*

I’m back-burnering it and skipping the contest. I need to run out to the store and pick up the hailstorm of spent cardboard tubes from the fireworks I shot off last night, and then I’ll see if I can’t get another story moving.

The normal pattern

Yep, my original concept of Sanctuary altered. I do that a lot *laugh* I ended up nuking about 400 words ( a scene and a start of another ) in order to improve the flow of the story. The bonus is that it ties in better with the Nude Day theme.

This one is Xannera’s story. I’m still planning to tell Mara’s story for Summer Lovin’. I’m introducing a new character in this one who will be quite important for a future story that I’ve known I would tell for quite some time. Odds are that the second part of that equation will pop up in Whispers ( the summer story )

Once I have those two puzzle pieces in place, I can tell that tale whenever I wish. Odds are that I’ll get around to telling Glen’s story first, though.

Sanctuary is going to start expanding the mythology of the “wood” universe, too.

Now, to try to get a bit of those replacement scenes written before I have to crash out. I’m off on Friday again, and not exhausted from long hours this time, so maybe I’ll have better luck getting some writing done. I’m off the following Thursday as well, but the young one will be home that day.

Anyway, to my pen 😀
