"Her Black Prince" Third Draft Finished

Hello everyone!

I have finally finished my third draft of "Her Black Prince." The plot is getting underway and the characters are coming to life. I have experienced significant delays due to moving out of state, but now everything has settled down and I can get back on track with my writing.

I also discovered "The Outsiders" TV show on Youtube. It's really awesome. My only quibble is that Tim Shepard was turned into a Dallas Winston clone. In the books by S.E. Hinton, he was the leader of his own gang and much more calculating and even-tempered than Dallas. However, that's all it is, a quibble. The rest of the characters stayed true to the way they were portrayed in the books and the acting was pretty solid.

Anyway, I hope to finish "Her Black Prince", by this Saturday and start sending it out. Now that I am finally settled, that should be easy. I've added another short story to my queue, which will be after "Her Black Prince" and "Ten Thousand Suns", tentatively called "To Remind You That I Love You." It will be the first "Nineveh" short story that is not told from Cassandra's perspective and came out golden when I wrote it. I can't wait to finish the final draft.

That's all for now. Until next time, stay posted.
