The Misty Vixen Newsletter (August 2021)

July was a weird month. First, let’s cover the things I did manage to do.

I was hoping to come before you today saying that A Warm Place 7 was done or close to, but it’s not. I began work on right at the beginning of July, but I hit a block and realized that I was burned out on it and I just needed some time. So I didn’t actually get a chance to restart production until mid-July, and even then, I’ve run into some other problems in my real life. Nothing serious, just boring stuff. As it stands right now, I’m about halfway done with the novel, and I have the cover art ready to go. I’ve been working steadily on it for the past week or so, finally getting into a good rhythm, and I intend to continue until it’s done. After that, I’ll probably actually make myself take more of a real break from the next one, probably a few weeks, and then get to it.

I’m sorry if I’m not pushing out A Warm Place as far as I could be, it’s just at this point I’ve been working on the series literally ALL year.

That’s actually part of what led me to launch Our Own Way. Here’s a blog post I made fleshing it out more.

To go into a bit more of an explanation as to why this is happening, I think it’s because I have two core things I want to write about: dangerous adventures and emotional or more low-key domestic stuff. Now, I can definitely have both, but one tends to overtake the other, and sometimes I just want one or the other. It also helps release the pressure. These more low-key serial erotica pieces allow me to just kinda…write. With stuff like A Warm Place, I have to plan and worry over a whole novel for weeks. Plus, as I’ve said earlier when I wanted to do this before, it can allow me to explore ideas that I couldn’t otherwise.

Anyway, Our Own Way 2 should be out soon, and progress marches forward on A Warm Place 7. Progress also marches quietly on in the background for my caveman fantasy harem. That’s all I’ve got for now.
