(personal/writing/work) Look, a real post!

There might even be a real writing post later! With, like, content! I know, shocking, huh?

I do apologize for the lack of real content - I've been super busy, and tired. I think I'm fighting off a cold that really, really wants to take up residence in my head. It hasn't gained much of a foothold, but I'm not taking any chances. It's been so busy here!

OT at work, too, which cuts down the writing time/me time even more. I don't even get my studio day this week! *sniff* So sad...

But even while working, I have writing ideas that are starting to percolate. I'm having some real issues with characters and this third book - once I figure it out, I promise I'll do a writing post. Luckily, there were some great folks in FM Chat that helped me out with some really good advice, especially mer_blackwood. I'm still doing the prewriting stuff, but the book will be MUCH stronger when I do get it down.

I've also got some glimmers of my Christmas present for you guys - I think it might be a part of the larger Olympus book. Yes, I think Olympus is going to be an actual book - I've got some plot, and it's gaining steam. And it's FUN. Of course, now it needs a title (and the MC's name needs to change, because I've already got an Abby/Jack story), but I finally get to use Jack Frost as a hero in a book that ISN'T noncanon! And this Jack is...well, he's sexy, but he's not the Jacks I've written before. I like this Jack. I think you guys will like him too.

Oh, and I'm doing my Christmas cards tonight. So if you wanted one, be on the lookout early next week!
