I’m very close to finishing my latest story. This is good (and surprising) because I’d like to have a clean slate to start on NaNoWriMo in November. Hopefully, I’ll get it to beta stage within a week or two, which is almost a record for me. I had thought it’d be months before I was even close.
I’ve been very busy lately, and I haven’t got as much done on my dark story as I would’ve liked. I have, however, think I’ve overcome some of the nastier plot holes, so I’m much happier now. It’s also becoming quite long, which isn’t particularly a problem, but I keep surprising myself about what is ending up in it. Once I’ve got a believable ending, I’ll be happier still.
Badge of Honor was thankfully quite well received, even though I didn’t get all the bits of work in it that I originally wanted. It’s always hard to know what to leave in and what to take out. But, it is fun.
Although the new look site is easier on the eye than the gray one, I’m not sure that I’m 100% happy with it. I might ask the ever-more put upon technical dept to keep looking for another template thingy. Or maybe give me the old one back. I really liked that dark one.
I’ve finally managed to finish my story, “Badge of Honor“.
This time, I got the story beta’d and what a difference it makes. Having fresh eyes run over it found whole bunch of mistakes etc. My sincere thanks to Elem for doing such a fine job.
This will be my last story for a while. The other ones I’m working on are still only in the very, very early stages and won’t be ready for months.
or…why I haven’t finished my story yet.
Well, I was passing through VAMB, trying not to start reading all the stories that have been posted lately, when I saw that someone had posted, not exactly a challenge – but more a request, for a story with J/C having a big argument as they reached home. Hmm, that sounds interesting…and now I can’t get it out of my head. Haven’t exactly got an angle on it yet, but I like the idea.
Other than that, I’ve done nothing much with my “almost there, nearly complete” story.
