Chapters posting soon!

Chapter 2 of "Love With a View" is submitted and should be posted to the site soon! I'm also final editing Chapters 1 and 2 of Chimera.

Chimera chapters will be shorter, because the flow of things is very different from LWAV. I'm really liking having two stories in progress that are so different though. Hope you're enjoying them as well!

Hard at work!

I'm a writing machine right now!!

Chapters 1 & 2 of Chimera should be finished and posted by early next week! The chapters are a little shorter, at least for now, but I think it helps with the flow of things. They might get longer as the story goes.

Chapter 2 of Love with a View is coming along well and I SHOULD be able to get it up on the site in a week or two. Maybe sooner if it keeps going so well. There will be lovin's in chapter 3, though, so that might take a little longer to write. I try to make any sex scenes hot but still loving, so I try to put some extra time in to them.

But I'm on a regular roll, so look forward to updates soon!!!

Almost ready to post!

Whew! I'm finally seeing some hope!!

It has been a long time coming, but I think I will have some things to post very soon! Granted, they'll only be chapters in a couple of on-going stories, but it's something, at least!

I have the first chapter of a modern story written and I've got a few people looking it over before I submit it. Then I have a prologue and first chapter of a fantasy story very nearly finished! I'm also toying with some other ideas to see what I want to work on for a full story. I don't mind posting chapters, but I prefer to post stories all at once - I think that helps me because I like to see things completed.

Well, whatever it is, at least I will have things up soon!!!

An update . . . and a sneak peek!!

Well, it certainly has been a while since I posted here! Mostly, that is due to some incredibly annoying writer's block. I have ideas, but the motivation seems to flee when it comes time to sit down and dredge through the detail writing. However, I am determined to get SOME progress done soon.

In the meantime, I thought I would post a very short blurb from a story idea that hit me today. I might post it in chapters on nifty, since I've got a good chunk of the first chapter fleshed out. I need to refine it more, especially some of the concepts, so this is probably not going to be the final version, BUT I felt like I needed to post something with a little meat to it.

So, without further adieu, here is an excerpt from the first chapter of a new fantasy story, "Lost To the Night."

---------


"Uncle Roberto!"

A little form burst from the door and ran to me, shoulder length brunette ringlets bouncing behind her as she hurried over the gravel drive to me. Isabella was the human child that Paulo had raised from an infant. He had taken her in when her mother was killed by an incredibly violent vampire and raised her as his own. She was his one true love in the world, and every person who came into contact with her instantly adored her.

Despite my mood and my fears, the sight of the young girl brought a smile to my face. I caught her as she leapt into my arms, cradling her tightly and closing my eyes. For just a moment, the world was better. With her there, I could let myself forget everything. I stroked her hair tenderly, a wave of emotions crashing over me and stealing the breath from my throat.

"I've missed you, mi pequeña," I managed to croak out.

Her arms tightened around my neck as she leaned against me. "I missed you too, Uncle Roberto. Are you staying?"

I pulled back gently to gaze into her beautiful blue grey eyes. "I cannot stay long, Isabella. I have business soon. But I must speak with your father before I go."

She looked disappointed, but nodded obediently. "You'll come back very soon, won't you?"

I smiled in spite of myself. "I promise."

As I set her on her feet, she took my hand and led me into the house. A servant stood at the door, waiting to take my coat. I slid it from my shoulders and handed it over.

"Please tell Paulo that I must speak with him immediately."

Oh, hey! Look at that!

You see that? Yeah, that's me writing!

Rare occurrence these days, it seems. I've had at least 10 stories open at one time over the past few weeks trying to get SOME kind of progress on at least one of them. Finally, I've gotten a little bit farther on a story. Still no idea when my next one will be finished, but maybe by working on so many at once, I'll have several finished fairly close together!

At least, that's what I keep telling myself. It's not that I'm just indecisive or anything... Nah, couldn't be that.
