“Beauty of the Wood” just took second place in the Literotica Nude Day Contest!
Thanks to everyone who read and voted!
It will be coming to SOL soon, I promise! Just waiting on my first reader, my tweaks from her suggestions, and a final edit from Roustwriter. Then, I’ll get it in the queue as quickly as possible.
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 😀
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.
I’m trying to finish Beauty of the Wood tonight. It’s going to be a tough one. I really need to have it done before I go to bed tonight to have any hope of getting it edited, though. Hope to have good news to report later.
A little later: Up to 13k. I need to close out the scene I’m working on, and then there are two more. Still going to be a rough one to finish it tonight. If nothing else, I should be close enough now that I can get it in with a quick self-edit if need be, though I’m going to try to avoid that by finishing tonight.
And yet a little later: Finished that scene, and another I hadn’t anticipated that I needed in there for proper flow, but I’m just not going to make it tonight.
Crossing my fingers that work won’t be such a bitch tomorrow that I’m able to finish it after I get home. Apologies for any errors you come across if I make it and get it posted. They will be corrected when the edited copy comes back from Roust, and the version that goes up at SOL in a few days will be clean, edited copy from the get-go.
