Writing Update

Things have been quiet on the blogging/social media front this past month or so, mostly because I’ve been writing frantically.

The light at the end of the tunnel is beckoning, my friends. I am currently finishing up what I think is the second-to-last chapter of Prayer of the Handmaiden. The big battle is concluded, and there’s some sweet lovin’ going on at the moment. ^~ Then we just have to wrap things up, and Qiturah has to get in her last word, of course, and then the complete book draft will be finished at long last.

I plan to go back through it over the course of another month or so, especially the later chapters, for some deep-cleaning, and then it will be time to send it off for *gulp* judgement.

In the mean time, it seems like every possible kind of stress has been tossing me around the past month. Work. Family. Money. Everything. Trying to hang in there and just breathe and tackle one thing at a time, but it’s getting overwhelming. I’ll be glad when the tide goes back out again… till then, just gotta close my eyes and hang on, right? :P

New Review of Sword of the Guardian on Queer People Doing Stuff

This morning I stumbled across another really nice review of SotG, this time on the blog Queer People Doing Stuff:

“It did everything I wanted it to. I wanted the heroes to struggle but win in the end, I wanted the ladies to get together, and I wanted an awesome girl doing boy things. If you like those things too, then you’ll probably like this book. I know that for me it was one of the funnest reads I’ve had in a long time.”
