For now. Until my beta readers get done red lining it and kill it. Then I shall bring it back to life. :D
But now, I'm starting a brand new dark shiny. I can hardly stand it, but I'm having trouble figuring out where to start. I have a whole series in my head and my brain is over full with ideas! what to do first? what to show first? how to show it?? AAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA LOL It's awesome and one of my favortie parts of writing!
This is a dark female paranormal noir. Yep, I know. totally different. totally awesome. Wait until you see...
The long road to publishing and the adventures of being a full time mom while on the way :) *and beyond! :)

Finished!
Quest for Riverhand is polished and ready to match the Query of Awesomeness :D
It's about 20k short of what I wanted, but I like the story. There is another scene I'm contemplating adding. It would help the sub-plot and I could run a thread in that would help with the sequel, but I don't want to mess with it.
Yeah, I like the story the way it is and I know that agents/editors will peruse and say X and X and X and etcetera anyway. Might as well make the sweeping changes then and add to word count as they suggest.
Winds of Fire is very close as well. I have to revamp the beginning and wowsers the end :D Probably take a week of intense writing, but the story is very good and I'm sure I'll be able to sell it.
My paranormal is at 11k and needs at least 35k more words. A friend, Jami G. gave me a good idea how to get around the whole problem with being a pantster who already outlined the story :D Thanks, Jami!
My other paranormal is at 19k. It got the bulk of the details from the short the two paranormals are ripped from.
If you remember, (I think I posted it earlier) I sent in a short story into an editor at a publishing house that got rejected with words like make novels out of the premise, series, etc. etc. make sure it fits our house. Best rejection ever, LOL
Plus, I have Blood Traitors, the sequel to Rebellion on Piza seven to worry about now. I have to fix a couple of sequencing erros that I put into the second MS and add like 60k to it :) I have like 15-17k on it.
