Chapter 15 for Lay Me Low has been posted on Ashwinder, and I only had one cavity!!! Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] talesofsnape and [livejournal.com profile] lilyevans_snape for their alpha and beta magic. I'd really like your input on it, as you folks are my best audience.

Chapter 16 is a bugger. I thought it was going in one direction but ended up heading in another. *sigh* Dahlra, I hope you know what you are doing.

Ashwinder posted the latest chapter of Lay Me Low (Chapter 12) and I'm ever increasingly grateful to my alpha and betas for getting me to the point where I only had five cavities on this (compared to the 40 I had on TPP for As Morning Falls Chapter 4 - lack of beta, anyone?).

I am still reeling from Sempra's stunning artwork for Chapter 10 and Chapter 11. She has done illustrations for Chapters 2 and 3 as well, and I'm just blown away by her, as always. I often say that our Muses are drinking buddies.

I posted a poem to LJ_Scribe yesterday, but just as I sent it off, I realised it was not an automatic posting, and was subject to the moderator's discretion whether or not it would be posted. It hasn't been, so I guess I didn't make the cut, but the dumb thing is that I wrote it on the posting - I have no other copy of it.

I know, dumb as a very dumb thing. I've written to the mod and asked if she would send it back to me, but if she doesn't, serves me right. I can be such a dope at times. At times, I'm amazed my birth certificate has finished printing.

Ashwinder has just posted Chapter 9 of Lay Me Low, and my first review made me laugh. 'Erm, what about the cliff hanger at the end of Chapter 8?' I have a feeling I'm going to pay for that little McGuffin, of putting in a cliffie at the end of Chapter 8 and not resolving it until Chapter 10. I just couldn't help myself!

Big props to [livejournal.com profile] talesofsnape and [livejournal.com profile] dharkcharlotte for Alpha and Beta duties. I have another beta coming on board as well, so yay, I only had 4 cavities on this chapter! Big difference from the one they finally rejected because there were so many they lost count!

Chapter 8 of Lay Me Low posted today, and boy, am I relieved! I was so afraid I was going to be rejected because HG/SS kiss - and she's seventeen. In my little AU world, she's about two months into being 18, so please don't hit me. I actually like this chapter a lot, but I've put in a cliff hanger that I don't actually pick back up and resolve until Chapter 10. I don't know if I'm a little evil writer, or if I'm just crap at the whole cliff - hanger concept. Probably a little bit of both!

Absolutely dead day at the shop - very nasty wasty weather predicted, which for the South meant cold air. People stayed in. The entire shopping district was dead. Thankfully, my chef made her famous Chicken/Corn Chowder (yes, I'm going to admit it's great), and it all sold out. She's also making this fabo chocolate/peanut butter cake that makes me happy to be alive, so hopefully tomorrow won't be so bad. If all else fails, we can still QC the cake.

I've had an offer for both an alpha and beta reader, so I'm thrilled beyond belief. Thanks to TalesofSnape and Dhark Charlotte for their kind offers, which I'm going to take up so fast it'll make your head spin. I feel better already.

The Hub's kids are coming in two weeks' time to visit, and my house looks like a cyclone hit it. Then I say to myself: write - clean - write - clean - write - clean. Guess which wins? Yep, I'm a lazy cow. A lazy cow that just loves to write.

Huge, big, proper hugs to [livejournal.com profile] talesofsnape on her birthday! I hope you have the best birthday ever! Thank you for being such a great friend and encourager. You give me inspiration, confidence and belief in myself. I hope you get everything you've ever wanted, and your day is beautiful!

Love, Teddy
