I can’t believe this is the last week of May. We are halfway through 2019, and it went fast. I’m happy with the way my April Rough Trade turned out. Ferris Wheels and Hot, Vicious Scientists is the sequel to my story Getaway. Editing will start this week, and it should go up sometime in June, July at the latest.

My 2018 NaNo/November Rough Trade, Transmutations, is still in the rewrite process. I’m hoping to clean that up in July…but no promises. One of my New Years resolutions was to improve my craft and learn. This one has been a huge learning experience and the longest thing I’ve written to date. So I hope to get it right, not fast.

Speaking of Rough Trade, I will be skipping July Rough Trade this year. I hope to spend a lot of time reading all the great work out there, but I have two rewrites and five plotting projects of my own I want to work on. Among those are my next NaNo, two of next year’s Rough Trades, and the 2020 Quantum Bang.

I loved working on this year’s Quantum Bang and am happy that I can talk about it, FINALLY! The Name is Judgment and Justice. It’s a Harry Potter fix-it set in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. It starts the day Ron and the twins rescue Harry in that flying car, but this is Arthur’s story. The story of a father that will protect his kids, children by birth and by choice. I hope you enjoy it.

I thank PhoenixRising for her time and efforts as my Alpha Reader. Kudos to Jilly, Keira, and everyone involved with Quantum Bang for their support, encouragement, and willingness to listen to venting and provide help when we were trying to talk about a secret story that we were not allowed to talk about…whew. And finally, a standing ovation to my artist, sexycazzy. Check out her amazing art!

Her art and my project summary are up now. The story is scheduled for posting sometime June 1. And don’t forget to support everyone who participated. The art up on the site is fantastic, and I’m certain the stories will blow your mind. QUANTUM BANG LINK.

Day 1 of NaNo is here. I have a good start with Chapter 1. This might be split up in the final draft as I have the Tony and Jack scene from X-ray at the end.  It’s about a week and a half out from Tony’s initial infection, but the first step toward spreading the new virus. Not completely happy with that part, both because of the time skip and because of the general flow.  Well, that’s why it’s a Rough Draft.

Since I’m shooting for 75k it means I have a writing goal of approx 2.5k a day.  I’m hopeful that I can keep up the word count so I have a bit more flexibility in the end to still meet the goal.

Wish me luck.
