Finally have the next chapter of SOTM moving again. Just a little more, and I’ll probably post an excerpt on the forum because it will be close to release.
The good news is that shifting a lot of scenes to the next chapter because of the way events in this one turned out gives me a lot to write that’s already ready to roll. Maybe I can get the following chapter out in a much more reasonable time frame.
Now, to update the blog software and see if it will work without crashing *laugh*
Stocking stuffer and my most recent story in my third name are both doing well at SOL. Thanks to all the readers over there who took the time — especially those who sent me comments.
I’m working on SOTM in another window. Keep getting interrupted, but I hope to have enough for a progress report this evening.
Caught up on all my side projects in my third name and such. Taking tonight off, because it was a long night at work, and I’m off Friday, so I don’t have to worry about how late I stay up after I get home tomorrow 🙂
Once the young one goes down for the night tomorrow, I’m going to put on Chrono Cross and get down to finishing the next chapter of SOTM. Once I do that, I think I’m going to look at the last chapter of Lowborn. Might be a nice Christmas present to get the next SOTM out and start Lowborn, which will be a weekly new story for two months.
Getting the seeds of ideas for the Earth Day Magic of the Wood story going too. Don’t want to break tradition, so I want to be prepared with something I’m fairly certain will work well in advance.
Mom’s Stocking Stuffer is now live at Storiesonline. Give it a read and a vote!
Writing, but nothing big enough to report just yet. Last week just really took a lot out of me. More or less recovered, but I need one short day to really get back to 100% — or my day off coming Friday. That should do it.
Just have to say thanks for the response on Stocking Stuffer. It just took over as my highest vote total story from one in my third name that had held the title for quite some time. The comments are flattering, and all the feedback is a nice boost.
My primary goals for the story are all coming together nicely. The feedback is the first part. The second is getting eyes on my other stories. Considering I’m now on the “recently popular” list of 90% of the categories I’ve written in at Lit as Les, and the number of new reads/votes, I can safely call that mission accomplished as well. The third is a petty little thing, but I’m only a few votes and views away from topping he-who-shall-not-be-named, while having a higher score and more favorites on top of it.
I shall enjoy his writhing and sputtering *laugh*
I’ll likely post the story at SOL at the beginning of next week.
Worked on SOTM a little yesterday, and I’ll get in some more today as well. Once there’s some reportable progress, I’ll drop a line here.
Off to make a pizza, and then we’ll see if the house is calm enough for me to write a little.
