And I don’t mean rain from now Tropical Storm Katrina, who is supposed to give us some rain this evening. I mean creative trickle, one that sort of dried up in the middle of the rescue scene I wrote for The White Winds. The chapter ended up being very, very short, and I had to rewrite the beginning of it when betareader Liz pointed out what could have been a pretty massive gaffe on my part. Whew! I’m glad she’s…
I am of the decided opinion that my muse is on vacation. It’s been hard, really hard, to write much of anything over the past few days. A paragraph or two on The White Winds, and more on Overtures, but I had a deuce of a time trying to figure out what was wrong with the rescue venue in the first place! Now I’ve got it, and it’s unique, and I think, will be funny (maybe). We’ll see. But even writing…
School started today. The kids were up bright and early, and were ready, dressed, with breakfast eaten, lunches made, bright eyed and bushy tailed… by 7 a.m. I couldn’t take Boy #2 to school until 7:30, so we waited around (I checked my email and reviews) and at the dot of 7:30, he was out the door. So I took them to school. Dropping Boy #2 of was fine (other than idiots parking in the car line). He got…
Chapter 9 of The White Winds went up today as did the prologue of Overtures. I’ve taken an actual break today from writing, mostly because of the Girl going back to school for her Freshman orientation. Now I’ve got to segue into a new schedule so I can get some writing done as well as housework and picking up of various people. The Hubby says he needs to take the bus in the mornings. After seeing the current price…
So it’s now officially complete. I’ve started writing Overtures and have chapter 9 of The White Winds well under way. People like the movie-verse fic and say it’s very realistic, and very happy. I think it’s about time that something without a lot of angst was written about the movie Alan. I mean, he couldn’t be angry all the time. Spent a couple of hours just napping this afternoon. Tomorrow, school starts for the Girl. She’s been in such…
Those are the numbers of hits my three biggest stories have respectively. The White Winds has just topped 4000, Masquerade has topped 6000, and Serendipity has over 7100. I was going to wait on chapter 37 of Masquerade until at least C reviewed it. Becks sent me an email comment, which was nice, but I really wanted to hear from C. I still may wait another day until I post it. But I have started writing Overtures, believe it or…
Wrote a chapter of The White Winds last night. Not a long one, by any means, but a chapter nonetheless. It was fun, actually. I had Alan getting dressed while trying to talk with Jeff and giving Jeff’s impressions as he looked at the video screen. Posted it in the wee hours of the morning, so I’m bushed. I’m going to eat breakfast and go back to bed pretty quick here. Just had a review pop up on it, too….
I can’t believe it. I finished chapter 36 and wrote chapter 37 today, and I’ve posted chapter 36. I’ll post 37 when I get some reviews for 36. Chapter 36 had a nice twist to it, a fine example of how characters sometimes take matters into their own hands. Now back to The White Winds, then on to Overtures. I redid the math, too. Final tally: 15 chapters in 19 days. A record for me. The story will be over…
and I’ve written 13 chapters on Masquerade in 17 days. Starting with chapter 23 on July 28 and going to chapter 35 on August 13 ( posted on the 14th). Whew! My muse is panting for breath and pleading for sleep. I’ve started Chapter 36, and people are clamoring for The White Winds, so I’ve got to get back to that. Need to update again at IR:TNP also… but today, do some housework for a bit. Actually went to bed before eleven…
Had my brainstorming session with the gals; it was okay. Created a new timeline for IR:TNP. Posted chapter 35 because C reviewed, then Frankie did. Amanda did, too, but it was a bit of siliness… Don’t know what I’m gonna do with that girl! The Girl’s gallery has been updated at last. Hubby is sleeping; gotta make dinner for the crew tonight so he doesn’t have to. The transcript will wait until tomorrow and so will the birthday…
