Still waiting on Wish of Jeanie to go up at Lush.  I went ahead and had “Divorcing My Vibe” edited, and submitted it as well.  I’ll look through the list tomorrow and see what doesn’t have a seasonal theme to pick another one to add next – getting it edited if it was before I started using an editor.

Moving forward on Heart-shaped and trying to finish it on time.  As always, a lot going on, and my writing time is limited.  When I do have time, the stories usually move quickly, but it’s finding the time that’s the problem.  It’s nothing unusual on a lucky day to pound out almost a whole story in a couple of sittings in one day.

Back to work with me while I wait for the queue at Lush to get back to me.

Finally getting somewhere on Heart-shaped Box.  With a little luck, I’ll have it done in time for the Valentine’s Contest at Lit.

Because it’s a contest story, it won’t post for a day or two at SOL and Lush.  I always give contest stories a little exclusive time on the contest site.  If you’re from one of the other sites, feel free to cross over for one story and vote to help me out in the contest.

Fairly, mind you.  Only vote once.  Lit removed multiple votes anyway, and may remove your original vote as well.  So, voting more than once may actually hurt more than it helps.

I put my next back catalog story in at Lush.  Waiting for “Wish of Jeanie” to be approved.  This is an older story before I started using an editor, so I hope it doesn’t have any glaring mistakes in it.  I think I’ll start running those older ones through my editor to make sure.  I wasn’t thinking about it until I’d already submitted it this evening.  I’ll pick out what I want to post tomorrow and send it off tonight.  My editor has a pretty good turnaround, so it will probably be ready to go by tomorrow evening when I’ll submit the next one.

Once I finish Heart-Shaped, I’m probably going to jump into one of those off-category stories.  The first-time one “Under Her Wing” has been nagging me, so that may be the one.

I just joined up with Lushstories and submitted a story ( Pickin’ an’ Grinnin’ )

We’ll see how it goes.  Everything is in place for the website to handle the new links if the story gets approved.  I’ll activate everything once the story goes up.

The submission form is a bit of a pain since you can’t paste formatted text, but oh well.  I’ll submit some of my recent stuff that’s been edited, and if the feedback is strong enough, I’ll start posting my new stories there as well.

Seems to be a fairly well populated site, so I have high hopes.

( Working on Heart-shaped Box still )

Had several commissions to finish and other things on my plate.

Should be free to write again now.

I’m hoping I read the comment from a couple of entries ago correctly that the person making the comment didn’t want it made public.  No need to do anything if you want the comment to remain private.  If you want it approved and appearing to anyone on the blog, just leave me another comment here and I’ll approve it.

Every first comment has to be approved ( to help stop spam ) but after that, if you use the same email or have signed up as a user on the blog, your comments will appear without the need for approval from that point on.

Had a long few days, but I’m working on Heart-shaped Box now.  Just couldn’t get Valentine’s Flowering to flow.  Maybe I’ll save it for next year.  Maybe I’ll modify the idea for another contest theme.  I’ll just have to see when and if that story starts singing to me.  Thought I had it, but guess not LOL

Heart-shaped is MILF/Cougar, so my regular readers should enjoy it.  Going to try to make some major progress on it today, while I have the chance.
