  I'm expecting more giveaways for Dragon Consultant to start appearing soon, LT3's included. 
  
  
• I have gotten a lot of work done in Ge-Mi today.  Over 3k written and I know how part one is going to end.  I also know how part two is going to begin, so I've put together a working summary for it on my current projects page.  I literally woke up today and, after months of not touching Ge-Mi because I couldn't decide where I wanted the plot to go, I realized I knew exactly what needed to be done.  Is that weird?  Anyway, I have one more build-up scene to write and then the climax.  After I'm done with that, I want to start working on part two.  I need to have both parts completed before I can start thinking about submitting, so there's still a ways to go, but it's nice to finally be making some progress in this story again. 
  
  
• I've also been working on Kelpie Blue.  I am so close to being through with the transition scene I've been struggling with, but I realized it won't be smooth sailing after that.  I'm putting my characters into an entirely new setting with new rules to how the world works.  I need to find a way to fit in all the necessary description without losing the plot or getting boring.  It's going to be slow writing, but I expect it to be a lot of fun. 
  
  
• There are two new stories floating through my head right now that I'm trying really hard not to start writing.  They won't be short and I really don't want to add anything else to my to-do list.  One is another dragon story of sorts that is high fantasy and completely different to anything I've ever written about dragons before.  The other is a Colosseum style coming of age story with a really interesting world building aspect to it.  I want to write both and I'm afraid that if I don't start getting both stories to paper soon I'll forget important bits, but my to-do list is far too long already.  What do you think I should do?
