September writing & October goals

And that’s a draft! The first draft of Honeytrap clocks in at 110,658 words. I actually finished on September 28, so I took the last couple of days of September off from writing, but I am ready to dive back in now that October has began.

My goal for October is to finish the revisions on the Russian Little Red Riding Hoods Meets French Silent Film book, and also to come up with a title for it, because sadly I can’t publish it until it has one. I do have the cover image all picked out, though: isn’t that gorgeous? 100% wrote the book because I found that image and I thought “This would be the PERFECT cover.”

I’m hoping to publish the Russian Red Riding Hood Meets French Silent Film sometime in November; after that I’ll either be revising Honeytrap or starting work on an m/m novella. (I had intended to write the novella for NaNo, but I’ll be on the road for the first half of November, so that threw a wrench in my plans.)

Also, I have decided to write ficlets for Whumptober! This link will take you to a list of prompts; please feel free to select one and ask for a ficlet for fanfic or origfic, whichever you like. I’m trying to use the challenge to stretch my wings a bit, so feel free to ask for any source material you know I’m familiar with, even if I haven’t written for it before.

I’ve already posted my ficlet for the first prompt here: Shaky hands. Origfic. Nothing like accepting your army’s defeat to make your hands shake.
