Preparations

I have been hard at work on finishing up Alayne’s Story: Part III and think I may have the final scene of this part written within the next two weeks. Just in time to fly to the States and visit my family. I’ve also begun the initial outline for Part IV but most of it is going to have to wait until I’ve leveled through Cataclysm once it’s out. And, I imagine that, like Wrath of the Lich King, there will be several things I wind up having to go back and “fix.”

I really am hoping to get Part III done before I go to the States. I’m also hoping I can get my husband in a good enough mood to help me print and bind the whole damned thing (over 1000 pages in MS Word) so I can proofread it on the plane and start editing it.

I will also begin working on The Unexiled again once Part III is finished.

And, in the midst of all this, I have a lot of stuff going on in my life. I generally keep these blog posts rather impersonal because I’m just a private person by nature. However, when I return from the States, prepare to hear some stuff about all the insanity that’s been going on in my life for the past umpteen years. One reason I’ve been slacking so hard on things is because I’ve been mentally preparing myself for a bit of a catastrophe. I’m not sure how this trip to the States will work out or what. But, I’m hoping for the best while betting on the worst.

At least that way, any surprises might be pleasant.
