Getting out of Emo Mode and an Mim Su Sa Update
It took me a while to feel better after the discovery earlier this week. Finding out that your wiki
was hacked over ten days prior could lower anybody’s spirits. It also could show who’s got your
back. While I do have more web page visits from trolls than patrons that could actually pay,
unless it’s actually one person who’s been sending me troll puke into Word Press’s spam filter,
I’ve been getting a lot of love from various sources: Deviant Art (with some exceptions from a
couple), Disney Echo (who’s ‘Big Tent’ Disney Fandom gave me another reason why I’m a part
of their group, and Gaia, who’s really cheering me on with my books. It is my hopes that I can
make it up to those three organizations. (Relatively easy to do so with dA; I’m due for a support
payment.)
While I was allowing the Emo Storm to pass I managed to go through the rest of my initial edits
to ‘Murder in Main Street USA,’ the first Scarlet book, as I returned to the Scarlet PI strip (this
chapter will focus more on Melody, and would end up with a grand adventure as . . . well, heh
heh heh, that would be _telling_.) While there may be some areas I need to add and rewrite, but I
think I can go through it all within a couple weeks, then it’ll be in a presentable form as a beta.
At that point, I’ll be looking for proof and test readers.
As I do so, I’ll be starting the lion’s share of the closed door draft of Blood and Metal while I put
Mim Su Sa through the group edit gauntlet. Until then, I’ll have some parts of B&M written as
Writing Circle challenges. My entry of Challenge #27 consists of a compromising scene with
Eric and Sarah, while Challenge #28 will have one of the earlier scenes I’m still working on.
