Well, what’s hitting me right now is Lowborn.\u00a0 I haven’t actually written anything on it, but I’m outlining this final chapter, getting the transitions together in my head, and figuring out how to bring all the strands I’ve been weaving together.\u00a0 I’ve got quite a few things to tie up in a pretty little bow to finish this one, so I’m giving it a great deal of muse time.<\/p>\n
The characters have some complex issues.\u00a0 There’s the main plot.\u00a0 There’s the title to bring full circle.\u00a0 Finally, there’s putting Mindblind\u00a0‘on the road’\u00a0to meet up with the rest of the companions eventually.<\/p>\n
The way I’m thinking, I’ll probably be ready to start writing in a day or so, because the next couple of scenes are pretty clear.\u00a0 From there, I’ll let Mindblind and the rest help me out.\u00a0 The characters will always be my strength, and I let them guide me quite a bit.<\/p>\n
I am anxious as hell to get this one out, as it’s been in the works for so long ( started shortly after Merchant Princess ) but there’s still the editing process to consider once I finish, and we’re talking about 8 chapters.\u00a0 It will need at least 2 cold reads, then my first pass edit, then off to Roust.<\/p>\n
Odds are that I’ll pass it back through some of my first readers as well.\u00a0 At least one has been reading it since the beginning anyway, and the only reason she hasn’t seen the latest revisions and chapters is because she’s swamped with school.\u00a0 Sure that she’ll want to see the final and comment before it goes live, though.\u00a0 Her insight has been extremely valuable.<\/p>\n
So, even if I had it done, I still couldn’t give a solid release date right now *laugh*<\/p>\n
SOTM is getting muse time as well, but I’m concentrating on this one because it’s coming at me stronger.\u00a0 I’ve got several ways I can go with where I am in SOTM, and I’m trying to figure out which has the best combination of action and heading toward the ending of the story.<\/p>\n
It’s not as if I’m close to the end, but there are several things going to come to a head soon.\u00a0 The momentum is going to crank up, forcing my girls to go with the flow or get ran over.<\/p>\n
Just wanted everyone to know that I’m working \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
If I didn’t say it before, Halloween may very well be a burst.\u00a0 I’ve got more than one idea in all three pen names.\u00a0 Six different stories in the Halloween contest aren’t inconceivable.\u00a0 Maybe even more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
