This morning, I submitted Chapter 13 of “Aiden and the Ring” for posting. As he continues with Kendra’s and her husband, he’s working his way ever closer to unlocking his future. And learning what the ring cares about… and what it doesn’t. Any MM haters, avert your eyes and hang on, it’s gonna get gooey, but keep your eyes on the prize(s).
In the yards, I am polishing the next installments of “My First Fan” and “The Immortal.” The latter continues to be a love-hate relationship for me. When it was originally written I was under a lot of personal stress, and the story’s tone reflected that. As such, I’ve gutted a lot of overwrought stuff from Chapter 10 and rewrote it almost completely. It reads much better now and is more in line with the direction Jim and Mandy should be moving.
And of course, another pitch for any reader to send emails, via SOL or my Yahoo account, or comment on stories. Without feedback, I have no actual idea what you’d like to see or what you are enjoying. Which leaves you all at the mercy of my bourbon-addled mind.
Speaking of my addled mind, the muses flung an entirely new story into me this week. The final scene wandered into my skull early this AM and is now scribbled at least as an outline. As such, I’m looking at another 50k plus words to crunch over the next few weeks. Thank you all for being patient with “Aiden and the Ring” and “The Immortal.” Loosening the schedule really allows me to work ideas as they arrive instead of ignoring them.
Stay safe.
