The end of the year, erotica by request, and deliberation of a theme.

Here it is, the end of the year. Before I was ready it was already Hanukkah and we have Christmas barreling down like a freight train with New Years hot on its trail. We are awash with holiday plans and in the middle of it all there was some minor illness in the house. That put a damper on some of my writing.

It's a request piece that is turning out to be longer than I had intended. I'm struggling with trying to keep it under ten thousand words. I'm nearly seven thousand in and I don't think I've hit the halfway point. It's just gotten a little bit away from me and all I can do is follow its lead. There was an initial two week deadline but I've already hit that and obviously it was not met. Hopefully the quality of the piece will soften any hard feelings about the initial expected time frame. :::grin:::

I have a finished work ready to be edited. At least, I think it is. I've felt that it's supposed to be a one night snapshot of a couple in a long term relationship. Some of the feedback I've gotten has indicated that further backstory and character interaction build-up is desired. So I'm sitting on it for a little bit. I'd like to revisit it when this request piece is finished. My goal is to see if I can get it edited within a couple weeks and then release it some time next month. Whether I have some revisions in there is still up in the air.
