NEW PROJECT:
So, it’s always easier to edit old stuff than it is to write new stuff. I was looking at a novella I wrote back in 2002, a romantic drama. I know, it’s not my normal genre, but I’m trying to appeal to a wider audience. 🙂
I’m running through it pretty quickly. I’m on page 30 or so of 150. It could be done in 10-15 days, and the more stuff I have out there, the more stuff I might sell. I always preferred to cast a narrow net in the fantasy/scifi genres of speculative fiction, but I’ve been doing a lot of educational writing lately, so why not horror, period drama, and romantic young adult stuff?
Tentatively named either: The Keys to Soul or Chasing the Blues, this is about a piano player and a much too young for him girl who falls for him. Insert drama. Anyway, I’m enjoying the rewrite, because it’s rough in spots and my style has changed a lot. I noticed that also with the older stories in the Book of Dark Dreams, where I had a lot of editing to do for the oldest stuff, but not nearly so much for the newer stories.
Anyway, just an update on what I’m up to. After that, maybe I need to finish Underspace vols 2 & 3, and then I have several other project ideas. I actually updated my main site at Underspace.org with some forthcoming ideas:
- Underspace Vols 2 & 3 edits and rerelease for 10th anniversary
- Heavenbound (earthbound series vol 2)
- In Roam 2
- Hunter (legends of the sworn lands part 2 – conclusion)
- The Emperor’s Dogs (new project)
