I made it with about an hour left to spare - getting this years three chapter Christmas story written, sent off for overly hasty review, and then posted up in its entirety before Christmas Day was over! :)
This tale has significant potential for a later sequel, but I'll likely resist the urge. I want the couple to enjoy their happily ever after and not worry about overly precocious teen girls wanting to hop into their bed in a few short years. I don't do incest stories... or more than one per decade anyway!
Back to writing, I hope, by late this weekend. After too long of an absence, I'm now remembering why I loved to write - and need to keep up with it despite other ongoing issues.
And Happy New Year's to you!
