Well that just figures.

I've started editing Reconstructing Meredith, and wouldn't you know...it ain't done yet. Turns out I need to add anywhere from 10,000-20,000 words, mostly in the latter half of the existing book. *sigh* I don't think it'll be quite the emotional cluster that it was before; part of that was, I think, just the need to get the story out of my head. Now that I'm in an editing mindset, it's different. The story is told, I'm just going through and adding a few missing pieces. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself between now and when I actually start writing the additional chapters.

In the meantime, I'm still tinkering with the outline for Under My Skin, as well as slicing and dicing some existing chapters from my first attempt to write the damned story. Here's hoping I can get back to writing new material for that book soon, because I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes.

I'm also considering stepping out of my genre for a book or two. I've got a little bit of burnout where erotica is concerned, and I may need to shift gears for a while. I still need to keep the erotic romances coming, but I've got three on sub right now and the fourth that I'm editing, so that should tide me over while I sneak away to write something else for a little while. I've mentioned this a few times in the past year and haven't done it yet, so who knows if I'll actually do it this time.

Which genre will I wander into? Don't know yet. My literary novel, Flight of the Rail, is still calling to me. I've got some fantasy and science fiction ideas banging around in my head. Maybe a novel, maybe a novella. We shall see.

For today, I'm all about editing. Editing, which involves a lot of groaning, scribbling, note-making, swearing, facepalming, and wondering what the fuck I was thinking when I wrote that paragraph. This is also when I come across all the giggle-worthy typos, such as "he shit his eyes" or "ass a result" (Vanessa, I'm sure you remember that second one from eons ago).

Anyway. Back to editing. *grumblemutterswearsmash*

Ahhh, mancandy...
