i’ll never leave you hurting if you’ll just smile

okay.  so i’m the worst.

i just posted seventeen and eighteen here.  they’ve been up on jbf for days.  i’m sorry!

i really just got totally sucked into the insanity around me lately.  i had a week straight of houseguests.  and even though one of them was my beta–and we did talk a LOT about the story–writing and editing was far from my mind.  and then i kind of got a little rusty.  or, well.  not rusty.  i’ve just been feeling really scattered lately, having a hard time focusing.  so focusing on turning out difficult elements in a chapter has been tough.

but the ideas are flowing.  i know what i need to do.

and frankly, its all good anyway, because my beta hasn’t read past twenty.  and she’s totally swamped with school right now (since she took so much time to come see me) so she can’t even think about looking at new chapters until november, she tells me.  so i can’t post past twenty until we get into november.  which is cool.

oh life.  how you are insane.

i’m hoping and praying after this week of semi-insanity (new kids on the block last night, two brothers blonde shows later in the week) and then, even moreso, after the election is over, that i will be able to get back to focusing on my writing.

for now.  i’m off to make an attempt at the beginning of twenty-four (the end of it’s already written).  for now, i am content with the memory of nearly grabbing jtaylor’s ass in times square, and the badass photograph that proves it.

xo.
