alexandraerinSo, today's count is ~3200 words. That's about 800 words of Dangerous Instrumentality (I'm really on a roll with that again), about 1200 words of Tales of MU, and about 1200 words of a currently untitled D/s erotica. Well, it has a working title, but it's kind of insipidly predictable.
This is the second Tales of MU update in a row that's going to be a day late, but I'm still feeling sanguine about it. It's... differently on time. I did say a bit ago that it would be best to treat the schedule as being +/- a day. If each successive chapter were later and later, I'd be worried.
Under other circumstances I might have finished the chapter off today, but today was a day beset by difficulties, technical and otherwise. I've been having a certain amount of instability in my web server, and also abnormally high bandwidth usage... I've also been having more measurable traffic on Tales of MU, but not enough to account for what I was seeing. I think I've narrowed the problem down to the MU wiki, which has been beset by spammers for quite some time. It's offline for the time being.
Long term, I'd like to be able to hand that off to someone else who has better knowledge of wiki maintenance or time to learn it. It's a good time to look at that, because it kind of fits with one of my goals right now... that being to encourage more of a reader-centered community rather than an author-centered one. There'll be more about that on Wednesday.
Anyway, once again: "bad" day, a few thousand words netted. Things are going well.
