Ragnarok Facebook party last night. Smart, clever people, and of course, halfway through my session, my portion disappears.
Just staring at blank screen.
So I start up again, but not much gets going. Sort of like I walked into a party and fell flat on my face.
Then again, it was kind of liberating. When the worst happens, then you just roll with it.
I wish I knew why so many things happen at the same time. The announcement of selling "Snaked" to Cohesion Press, the Ragnarok Party, the rollout of "Tuskers III," and hopefully soon the paperback of "The Darkness You Fear." After several months of nothing happening at all.
Well, the writing is the most important thing. I'll cross 60K words today on "Fires of Allah." I've fucked up the timeline as usual. That's going to take some jiggering when I'm done. But I like the overall flow of the story. It's mostly action scenes from here on out, just concluding the four or five separate storylines.
I have a whole lot of characters in this book, so one of the main jobs in the rewrite will be to make them distinct, or to relegate them to the background, one of the two.
As far as I'm concerned, I've cleared the schedule for next year. I've got two books coming out for sure, I plan to go ahead and publish Gargoyle Dreams in March. I'm going to finish "Fires of Allah" and send it around, and then if I get no nibbles, go supernatural on it, and try again. Either that, or just publish it myself.
I want to continue writing a Virginia Reed book once a year, but other than that, I don't have a particular plans for the next book.
I'm sure it will come to me. It would probably behoove me to come up with another creature book, since that seems to be what I'm successful at. I also have a huge backlog of unfinished books, and I keep wavering as to whether I should be trying to revive them or just move on.
New challenges are more fun, but then again...I hate to waste what I've already done.
