I've almost finished a new erotica story.  It's called "The Stone Table", and is a world-swapping, dimension travelling, magic-using extravaganza if I do say so myself.  It's sitting at about 16k right now, so I've got another good, long day's worth of writing to do on it before I can submit it.  *crossing fingers*

Wow!  Looks like the book release is less than a month away!  I've started getting pretty excited about it, especially as the cover art is underway (looks really cool!).  I might have to steal some pointers from Sierra Dafoe on how to promote--I've never seen a gal who was quite so proficient at it.  *nudge, nudge*

I'll bet I figure it out though.  *grin*

Darn my muses!  On a day when I have to work later on, they're driving me to write more!  Don't get me wrong, it's a good thing.  It is more than a little annoying, however.  Not only are they driving me to work some more on my mainstream novels (which isn't really a chore, but very time-consuming) but they've also planted this little seed for a new erotica story.  I've tentatively titled it *The Stone Table* and after starting it at 6 a.m. I'm already about 5,000 words into it. 

I need a drink. 

That, too, is a pity because I have to tend bar tonight.  Therefore, no drinks for Isabelle.  instead, i get to watch OTHER people drink.  Damn them anyway.

Ain't life grand?  Why is it that edits always show up when you're up to your eyebrows in a new story that has nothing to do with the old ones?  Geesch!  Not only that, but for the first time in a long time my *real* life is starting to interfere with my writing schedule.  Wow, that pisses me off.  You know, six months ago I could write 7 days a week for 20 hours a day.  Now I'm suddenly lucky to get more than 6 or 7 a day.  You see, I own an antiques business (normally not intrusive but for some reason it has been for the past week)  and I bartend for fun (what was two days a week last week is five days a week this week---darn fired bartenders!)  plus I have a fairly demanding household (too many cats and a terminally hungry husband).

*Sigh*.  Oh well.  Who needs sleep?  *grin*

So, I'm all excited about my books being bought, right?  I'm so excited that I have already started work on another story, which (naturally) has nothing to do with Greek mythology.  *sigh*  How annoying.    Of course, I'm sure I'll find a way to make it all work out somehow---I guess we'll all have to wait and see.

Hopefully, I can get this whole website operational by the end of the day.  I'm waiting for my editor to be freed up so that we can start edits on Goddess' Revenge.  I am putzing around with some changes to the second book, but at the moment it's only putzing around.  If I can get the website done, then tonight I can concentrate on one of my mainstream projects for a while--gee I've missed them!

Hooray!  After five hours of tinkering, I finally have something that almost *almost* looks like a website.  Wow!  It's only fitting after all, that since my contracts made it to Changeling yesterday and my second book for them was finished the day before that that I should get cracking on this website!  There's lots more coming soon, so keep in touch.

Thanks for stopping by!
