This should come as no surprise given the delay on The Adjusters #46, but that delay means that #47 is not quite ready yet. I'm hoping to cross the Ts and dot the Is by this weekend, barring unforeseen eventualities.
The difference between writing #46 and #47 is rather astonishing. Both #44 and #46 were really difficult to write, and I kept making major changes at the revision stage for both of them. Comparatively speaking, #43, #45, and the upcoming #47 are straightforward. It's pretty clear that I'm finding it difficult to write Jenn at the stage she's at, and #44 and #46 have been entirely from Jenn's perspective, with a lot going on, most of it internal. And I find it tough to get it right. In contrast, #43, #45, and #47 are straight-up plot development, with a clear direction. Action versus character, I guess.
I suspect there's a lesson there that I could study, but I'm too zonked to think about it tonight.
I'll leave you with a pair of long stories that I've just discovered, The Chronicles of Rita, and Delia's Story. I have no clue if they're any good, but they seem to be well written, and the setup is certainly intriguing. They take place in a world were slavery is legal again, and they feel very... Gorean in nature, if you allow me the expression. But as I said, I don't know if that's true. Still, pointer tossed your way, for your smutty edification.
