I am now back from my work travel jaunt. As soon as I get back into the normal work schedule once we've gotten past the start-of-month insanity, I should have time to write additions to one or more of the stories in Beth's universe; hopefully, Ch. 84 of Beth, at the very least.

While the end of Beth is still quite a way down the road, I've begun composing -- mostly in my head -- the epilogue for the story. I'll be putting that down on electronic paper, too, in the months to come, thus taking up some writing time that would otherwise have gone to Beth or Civia or Sandy... or elsewhere.

I found some free time recently and was in the zone, so got Ch 83 written and uploaded. It's the first really long chapter in quite a while. The original plan had this chapter coming after much less writing, but in the same time period in the Beth universe. Blame it on Heather... and Civia, neither of which I had an inkling of when I started down Beth's road. Hopefully, the long chapter will get you loyal readers through the up to two weeks starting shortly during which I will have zero writing time.

I'm in the locker room at halftime in the league championship final, so have made good progress on Ch. 82 despite work, again, chewing up a lot of my time. I cannot help but grudge the extra work, but I won't mind the resulting pay check. I'll probably get this chapter posted on or shortly after the weekend and might get Ch. 83 posted before next weekend. At least, that's my current plan. However, after that, a bunch of work travel will keep me away from Beth's universe for a week or ten days. It's funny. Prior to starting down Beth's path, I always loved all the time I spent traveling for work. In fact, it was one of the main attractions of my position. Then I got used to having little travel and, for nearly half a year, little in the way of OT on the job. I began begrudging the extensive OT and work travel once I started to write these stories. Them's the breaks.

Even many/most of the most-skilled writers here don't use pronouns correctly, and their mistakes get past numerous editors. I just don't get it. [See previous post: Me and Julio....]

I've gotten in quite a few hours today on getting Chapter 80 going and have made good progress with the Petaluma game. I hope to have the chapter written and edited before mid-week next week. May the stars align to make it so.
