Updates and the Usual Nonsense

I just posted Chapter 11 of The Dragon's Jewel this morning. Call My Name may or may not get an update today. If it does, it will be after I get out of work at 10. Yuck. I'm still working through my Sarat file while trying to churn out the rest of Dragon's Jewel. I'm...so...close...bah! Seriously, you'd think that another 3 chapters or so would be cake. But its the climax of the story and I want it to be good.

On a slightly unrelated note, I checked the story stats on FF.Net for the first time in forever today. Over 2,000 hits on Rebel's Honor and The Tigress's Song, just under 2,000 for Nightmare's Calling, over 1,000 for The Dragon's Jewel and just under 1,000 for Call My Name. Cheers! It makes me feel all kinds of happy to know that people are still reading and enjoying my stories. I haven't checked FP.Com yet, but I've been inactive there for a while so I'm not sure what it would look like anyway.

I've mentioned a few times that my brain is a never-ending fountain of randomness. Proof appeared last night in the midst of work on my PoP story. For whatever reason, I decided to take a break and pull out my Sarat file. And now I can't focus on anything else.

I wrote Sarat years ago for a creative writing class. It started as a short story that would fill about 20 pages and would be based off of a previous work or author writing style. My teacher gave me the Harry Potter series. But, as we all know, I am incapable of sticking to page guidelines. It went from 20 to 160 in the span of two months.

As of right now, its the only full length novel I have posted for others to read. I have more finished, but I'm not entirely comfortable sharing them because I would like to get them published professionally. Yeah, right. But I'm still going to try.

At any rate, I've picked up my Sarat revisions where I left off. My guess? I'll probably get to around 200 pages. Eek. If I can stay on track and keep my focus on the story, I can have the edited version up within a week or so. There are a lot of things I never explained, words I misspelled (shudders) and plot points that need to be moved around. Its a rather daunting task. But I think I can manage it.

Regardless of where I get to in the Sarat rewrites, I will have the next round of chapters up for my FanFiction stories by next week. I'm in the middle of a 7 day work week...otherwise I'd be more diligent.

New Post!

No new updates on my writing, but I'm happy to announce that I will be posting new chapters for Call My Name and The Dragon's Jewel at some point today! I hope to finish the second PoP oneshot today as well, but that may be asking for a miracle.

Almost ready...

Happy New Year! Chapter 9 of Call My Name is nearly finished, and I'm ready to wrap up The Dragon's Jewel. The first chapter of the Haunting Ground story is also done, but I think I'm going to save that one for when my other stories are finished. I'm nearly done with my research for the first chapter of New Kingdoms as well. With luck, my first round of chapters for the new year will be up sometime this weekend. Stay tuned!
