I haven’t done this for a while, but I think I need to do an accounting of creative endeavor.
From the looks of things, I have one active first draft, one project to finish and polish with how ever many drafts are left into either a novel or a novella, a short story to finish and revise, four books ready at the pitch stage to outline and draft, and seven books to plan, outline and draft.
Man. That’s a lot of stuff. And that’s not all the ideas, but hey, that’s enough for now! Because I’ll be 48 in June, and this could keep me going for well, I’m guessing well into my retirement.
Plans can change if I sell a book, and someone wants more of something I’ve got. 🙂 It’s just a matter of sitting down and writing all this. You can vote for your favorite project, but the Klarion books are the first ones beyond the Were Humans and Falling. Just…get…the damned…things done.
Details below. If you aren’t interested, I’m cutting this now.

Dang, woman. 🙂 I find that having a good queue makes me happy, though I don’t think I’ve ever had that many ideas lined up!
What’s worse is I have more ideas.
My problem has always been time, not ideas.
