The new Vega-5 has moved from first edit to second edit… there were nearly 300 comments over 12300 words. Joyous. The goal is to make it over 20k words now for the next publication attempt. This can and will happen before the end of the month even with all the other writing going on. Go me.
In other news, Nanowrimo is coming up. Look it up if you don’t know what it is. I do intend to participate this year. I have a novella I want to get out of the way. Look on the sidebar for a clue. The final length is well under the 50k I’m supposed to write, but the requirements for the novella promotion are actually:
1. Firm Minimum: 20,000 words
2. Firm Maximum: 75,000 words
3. Suggested Length: 30,000 to 50,000 words
4. Format: standard formatting only please, anthologies are skinned.

I also need to write my Aftermath anthology. Which does not have to be so very long. Although my anthologies this year have been running 15k or thereabouts. Having a short one would be nice I think. I will have to squeeze it in with Nano because it’s due the first week of December, something like the 8th.
I MUST finish ‘It Was A…” too. I want to do that before Christmas. All I have left is Puck’s story and the clean up… which really can be written into Puck’s story. I expect it to be long, a good 25-30k words, and not a complete story within itself, or maybe two stories. I’ll brainstorm on that later in it’s own post.
I also want to get RT going. I had really wanted to get it done by the end of the year but I do not see that happening and there is no way anyone will let me sneak that in as my nano (sighs) because it’s not new writing. I think I can manage it over the winter though. Next year my writing schedule will be just as hectic as this one has been… if not more so. Hopefully it will also see more things published. Honestly it’s more about giving the first 3/4 a good scrub then writing the last 1/4 over again. That should pull it from ‘maybe a novel’ to ‘hey that’s a novel’.
I’ve also looked at a few places I can list my stories once I get them on amazon. Myr is going to list them for me, but Allromance can list a few too (the more romantic ones) however they believe in HEA’s honestly they might like some of my stuff. If I can keep the prices down… might be worth it.
