Some really, really voluminous writing this week for me.  I managed over 11k words–7700 for Ellen’s story and 3600 for a new novella I started for Samhain’s submission call.  They’re looking for superhero romance stories for their 2012 anthology, due 9/2011.  Mine is titled (so far) “Prometheus Unstitched”.  It’ll be a romantic suspense tale of a superhero with limited foresight abilities, Prometheus (Theo) Richelieu, and his costumer, the comely but curmudgeonly Cordelia (Cory) Blindbarrow.  Don’t ask me where I got these names.  I think I totally made up Blindbarrow but wouldn’t be surprised to find some village in the nooks and crannies of England with a sizable brood of Blindbarrows.  I was feeling silly, I suppose, as that or sarcasm is a de rigeur element in all my longer stories.  I also like to play off myths, fairy tales, the “classics”, and Bible stories, as you can tell.

Alas, writing’s all I did, other than a tiny bit of critiquing earlier in the week.  Still no budging of the editing needle and the beta reads are muttering about seeking a cease and desist on all new writing and published reads.  Can’t say I blame them.

My cumulative stats are updated on my ROW80-2 page.

Linky for the other ROW80 participants is up and ready for you to share the encouragement with my peers.  Thanks for the read!

Still cranking out some good and plentiful words on my young adult novel.  I’m at 4480 words so far (against a full week goal of 3000) and still feel like I really WANT to write.  I’m just going with the flow on it which means no editing of my other novel yet.

I misrepresented on my beta read / critiques goal in prior stat reports.  I wasn’t counting my Scribophile critiques like I should have been, so I’ve revised my stats and caught that up.   Gotta keep the karma in the positive, both the credited and uncredited kind.
