    Bed of Roses edited; sequel status

    Bed of Roses status update

There are days when someone's feedback makes you feel like you're just not cut out to write fiction. And there are days when someone offers a lot of genuinely helpful advice. Occasionally, you get both from the same person. And so it is that I've considered some suggestions and made a few slight revisions to A Bed of Roses. I've swapped a couple scenes in the later chapters, partly for dramatic reasons and partly to help set up the sequel, but otherwise it's just a couple dozen cases of polishing and a dash of exposition for a handful of developments that weren't sufficiently explained in-story.

I ended up spending the last six months working on some G.I. Joe analysis and writing reviews for the fourth season MLP episodes. (You'll find the reviews at halfbattle.com/mlpreviews.html if anyone's interested.) With those projects completed and A Bed of Roses newly edited, I'm now ready to get back to work on that sequel. The title is "And Still on Thee Rely," and I may post a brief excerpt as a preview once I reach the editing stage.

Don't get me wrong here, I mean, work at your own pace. Don't let me -or anyone else- rush you, I'm just curious
