The next 'When the Hunter' chapter has been finished and uploaded to SOL! Working on three other things atm, but probably nothing else posted up this week. Holidays are usually dead around here for readers.
________________________________________________
Several small bits of updated minutia.
The next Chapter of 'I'm Going to Make It..." is written and just needs a final lookover. I'll try to do it this evening, but it might not get posted until next Saturday or Sunday, or maybe just wait until after New Years to post, so that some other 'Incomplete' project can be updated next.
In a wonder stroke of luck, I found a completed draft for the next pending chapter of "Under a Baleful Sky'. I knew I'd written it, once, but thought I'd lost this draft over a year ago in a copy/pasta error that overwrote this. Well, it's unlost again now. Needs a final proofing, so maybe post it right after Christmas or soon in January?
Oddly, I thought I had 3-4 pages of my Christmas serial "When the Hunter' done but lost as well, but I found an older draft that had at least the first page of this saved, so I now knew exactly what I was thinking and starting to write. Much more cheerful then about this, I sat down last night to proof this lone page and then wrote the next four pages of this draft as well. I can finish this, I think in one or two more sittings - so there is good chance I'll make the Christmas deadline for this.
No such luck with the next 'Dragons' chapter. Nothing found on any of my backup archives except a blank chapter heading. Same with 'Across the River'... nothing but a blank page, so this will take longer to be updated. I do have my outline for these later chapters, but thinking about a slight tweak. I won't even look at this again until January, sometime.
Since I haven't been a regular at SOL for awhile, with my other RL issues, I noted that my SOL blog has been severely truncated to just the last two years of posts being available now. This lost my 'author's notes' on nearly all of my prior stories. To make up for this, I noted that there is an easier way now for authors to comment on questions, etc posted at the end of each story. So, I've gone one by one and checked 95% of my posted stories and included a very short historical background or a few final thoughts for each tale. Not nearly as comprehensive as the lost blog entries, but enough. Enough to encourage maybe more of your own comments, as well.
Haven't looked at my new major project this week. I've been a good boy and concentrated solely on 'Incomplete' flagged stories.
My original off-site Author's Blog is still DOA. Google took over control of that site and I've been utterly unable to login to it for about two years now. Someday I'll rebuild it...
Looked also at my Pending and Story Ideas folders. 179 items in Pending and 270 items more in Ideas. Lord help me!
