Pick a project, any project...
Aug. 31st, 2007 05:56 pmso I have 3 stories in forthcoming Haworth titles that may not see the light of day any time soon, 1 essay in a forthcoming Suspect Thoughts collection that's in the same boat but for different reasons, and 1 story in a forthcoming erotica anthology that's caught up in the whole PGW fiasco.
It's looking like it's time to write something much longer than short stories.
I'm editing a book for a Lethe Press so that's next year's project and I have 1 or 2 deadlines for things I said I'd submit to other people's anthos by end of year and have started but this is moving insanely slow for me. I've been kicking myself because I've only written 3 new stories this year--and did a bunch of book promo and revisions to existing pieces and started an interview due in December or so--but still feeling sluggish.
So, impromptu survey, what should I work on next?
The alternate Regency fantasy novel with the romance subplot. This is farthest along: it features the Fay, cross dressing, swashbuckling, Luddites and a cast of way too many. Fun though.
The lesbian sword and sorcery novel set in a desert fantasy city where every form of death is personified.
The comic mystery erotic romance (mostly het) set in IT (less research that way).
The m/m erotic romance set in medieval Russia.
Something completely new and different, spurning the call of all the currently postponed projects.
Thoughts? Chocolate?
