SOTM 13 Nearly Done

Finally managed to get past that sticking point in Ch. 13.  After fighting it forever, all I had to do was move it from the street in Fightershaven to the courtyard of Blackhawk Hall to make it work.  Sometimes, the tiniest things can grind you to a complete halt.

After getting past that, I finished that scene, and smoothly transitioned through two more.  I’m writing that second one now, looking for a good bridge into the real action of the chapter, which should move it along quickly.

I may not release it immediately after I finish it, however.  Considering it’s already been so long, I may hold on if the next chapter is moving nicely.  That way, perhaps I can get back on something resembling a decent release schedule.  If I’m stalling again, I’ll just go ahead and put the chapter out.  Otherwise, I’m going to try to have 14 nearly in the can before I put 13 out there.  That way, maybe I’ll have 14 ready to roll when 13 posts, and already have part of 15 written.  So on and so forth.

Thanks to everyone who’s sent encouraging notes while I’m struggling to cope with a major tragedy in my life.

Struggling

I’ve been struggling with a bad case of the blahs, so nothing has been moving much.  I hit a sticking point on Ch. 13 of SOTM, and I’m trying to figure out how to bridge between a couple of scenes.  There’s just nothing coming to me.  I haven’t written word one on the new Alicia tale in a while either.  I have them both open right now, so we’ll see if they start moving.

Between struggling with life changes, and watching the last two LST3Ks languish, my motivation is just in the crapper at the moment.  I’m working through it, but that’s all I can promise.

I did put out an entery ( as LesLumens ) in the Lit How-To contest, if you’re interested.  It isn’t listed anywhere on my website, as its an essay and not a story, but you can find it by linking to my Leslumens Lit Submissions page.

Fun while it lasted.

Well, it was fun while it lasted.  Considering the less than stellar response to the last two episodes, I guess it’s time to put this horse out to pasture.  The series has obviously run its course, so I’m going to let it go gracefully into that goodnight.  I think the Fandom Menace was a fine note to go out on.  That one was a lot of fun to riff.

I want to thank everyone who donated stories, all those who’ve joined me in riffing, the readers, and everyone else who made this series such a fun ride.

Fandom Menace Goes Gold

The Fandom Menace is going gold.  It’s on its way to the other rippers for final reviews, as well as in the hands of the original author.  With a little luck, I’ll be able to put it in the queue tonight or tomorrow.  Stay tuned!
