  • The past three days have been great days for writing, and not only for writing stories.  I just finished a massive job application that required four different essays, references from professors I haven't seen in years, and all sorts of other mishegas that my sanity would probably have preferred I avoid.  I put all of my stuff in the mail today (they want it delivered by snail mail in this day and age!), but I have too much still to do before I can take a break. For some very strange reason, buckling down to get those damned essays done on time has finally killed my writer's block. 

  • I've written 2k in The Oracle's Golem so far.  I'm at the halfway point and the entire story is planned through to the end.  I'm hoping to have it submitted to LT3 by the end of May.  I've already got some ideas for the last two books, but I'm not allowing myself to start them until Golem is done. 
    I've also been working on Magnified and have gotten another 2k written.  I still don't know who the villain is, so I'll have to go back and add some clues and foreshadowing later, but at the very least I can get the current problem solved.  I'm at a bit of a crossroads at the moment.  I am planning to write the story to the very end, with the unknown villain unmasked, but I'm wondering if I should split it into two separate books when I'm done.  Should the minor villain they have to face in the first half be book one and the larger villain book two, or should I submit it as I've written it in one large book?  That's a question I'll be wrestling with as I near the halfway point at 60k. 
    The third story I've been working on is If a Butterfly Don't Fly.  I've written about 1k there.  I know whats going to happen for the next few scenes, but after that it's still a mystery to me.  I'm going to have to buckle down and figure my Out of Underhill series out soon. 

  • On top of all of that, I've got edits!  Lots and lots of edits.  I was originally planning to focus only on Road to Home, which desperately needs to go back to the editor asap, but I got an email in my inbox just before Passover telling me that Heart's Tournament has a few "issues" that need to be fixed and returned before May 1st.  Passover and the job essays took up all my time, so now I only have a couple of days to figure out the "issues" before it's sent to be published!
