I haven't done one of these for a while, and I've been very good today at work (translation: finished a grant and wrote a test.). The brain needs a little break before it moves onto a survey and some deep thoughts on a collaborative project.
So...I thought I would talk a little bit about what's out there, and where I'm at with my creative work. I can't let Ferrett have all the fun in this regard.
Not Circulating, but Patiently Waiting
O-Taga-San has a offer of acceptance, but nothing has been signed yet, so I will be coy, and happy to announce when I have something to announce.
Not Waiting, but Patiently Circulating
Empress Dark at Flash Fiction Online for 104 days. A query has been sent, which will in and of itself take 6-10 weeks to be answered. I understand they are a little swamped with submissions at the moment...
Mark Twain's Daughter at Tor.com for 207 days. I know they have it, as they kindly answered my query. We continue to wait.
The Make-Over at On Spec for 117 days. Duotrope says don't be alarmed until 180 days have passed.
As far as short fiction goes, I appear to be a paragon of patience.
In Progress
The Winter the Troll Danced with Old Nick. Getting closer all the time...
Planning Stages
The Were-Humans. I've taken some notes and written down some character names. My next project, this will be a Southern Iowa Gothic novella.
The Klarion Series. And we're finally back to the project I shared at Viable Paradise next year. My first goals will be to lay loads of pipe: an overarching plot structure for 5 books, characters notes and backgrounds, and historical research. I'll also be writing as the mood strikes me. I envision five books at this time, and this will be a huge chunk of my life for some years to come.
And you? What are you working on? What have you got out there?
