About

The name comes from a sign out of the Citadel Mall in Colorado Springs. [info]angeldess was tired and instead of reading it as a turn onto “Portal Drive East,” read it as “Portal Doctor E.”

I’ve been musing on this story for a while. I know I’m late on updates to other works in progress, and this is just a form of procrastination, but it’s also fulfilling my commitment to write x minutes per day (where x is a number not less than 20) as part of a way to get to my goals.

It might go somewhere. It might not. Not quite set on the name or the gender. You know how it goes. This is musing.   This is writing in a raw and unedited way. 

 

My process is pretty simple – after I did the first 50,000 words (at 700 per entry) I now do approx. 1000 words, and I’m shooting for at least two days a week.  I don’t have an exact plan for each post each time.  I just start writing. Now that I’ve got 100,000 words under my belt (such as it is) I’m going through chapter-by-chapter and revising. Taking thousands of words out, putting a couple dozen back in, and tightening up the story. This is an exercise not intended for publication – but please consider each of these entries as simply a draft, an “in-process” I don’t clean up here. Some of the ideas go places, some of them will be cut entirely, some of them might contradict things, but in cleaning it up it will be a much different story. (Naughtier, for one thing – this one gets maybe PG-13 if you’re generous with the higher rating.)

Comments are appreciated. I love my three readers. I tweet updates mostly when I’m out, having problems, or administrivia about the site – like when I’ve completed an entry. Questions about the world or characters are also encouraged.
