Ticking along

I paused on the edit for Beauty of the Wood because I got hold of the first reader who has given me an impression read of the last several, providing valuable insight.  I’m going to wait for that before delving into the final edit, updating it on Lit, and finally posting it on SOL.

In the meantime, I’m working on SOTM, Lowborn, and a few other things I’ve been tinkering with.  One of these days, with several multi-chapter stories quite a way in that I’m not going to start posting until they’re finished, I’m going to have a long period of weekly releases *laugh*

Have some ideas for the Summer contest as well, but that’s quite a way off, and I’m going to write on some other things for a while, letting those ideas simmer during my muse sessions at work.

Starting the full edit

If you haven’t yet, go give Beauty of the Wood a read and a vote for the contest 🙂

I’m starting the full edit, but fortunately, those who have read it thusfar haven’t noticed much, including at least one grammar quibbler.  I do intend to flesh out a couple of places I feel are a little weak, though nobody has commented about them, in addition to correcting the couple of grammar oopsies.

May be making up for missing Earth Day by posting more than one story in the series this year.  Ideas floating around for a couple of possibilities 🙂

Also working on Lowborn and SOTM now that the marathon to get this story done has reactivated my muse 😀

Made it — barely.

I just barely finished Beauty of the Wood, got in a first-pass edit, and made a few final corrections in the submission form in time.  Whew.

Now, I need to relax for a few minutes *laugh*

The cover may be late in coming up for this one, among other things.  This one was right down to the wire.  I’m going to give it a day or two before I get into the full editing process as well.

As I said before, apologies for any mistakes you find in the posting for the contest.  I just didn’t have time to give it the full editing attention I usually do.  As soon as the edit is done, I’ll apply it to the Lit version, and the clean copy will go up at SOL.
