I put Lora on pause while I finished up a project. That project is now complete. I'd actually planned to finish and publish the next installment of The Program while working less on Lady, but I came to the conclusion that I should finish up the Lora Fletcher Chronicles first. Lady will be the final book in the series.
I've discovered that I don't like writing battle scenes. I know I've always been better at conversations than descriptions, and I've been working hard on my imagery, as well as inserting little visual cues when my characters are chattering away. But the battles? They're killing me. I'd considered writing an alien series once Lady is finished, but then that would just lend itself to space battles. I'd be tempted to just write "pew pew! pew pew!" and let that be it, but that does an injustice to the work and to you all. I may still do the alien series but leave all the fighting offscreen. But that's no fun either. This is how my brain works. Constant ideas and arguments with myself.
Anyway, Lora is my focus again. I don't know how long it will take to finish, but it is fully plotted out and the writing has begun. Thank you to all of you who have recently sent me messages. I appreciate all of your kind words. Know that you all are the reason I'm shifting focus away from The Program and over to Lora. Yes, I caved to popular demand!
Take care of yourself through all of this bizarre weather!
