I’ve heard several comments about some
authors who sit staring blankly at the keyboard wondering what to do next. I
don’t think that problem applies to me.
I’m currently waiting to hear from
my publisher about two pieces they may pick up. If so, long stretches of
editing awaits. Meanwhile, I’m waiting on another publisher to launch the third
book in a trilogy that was supposed to come out in July 2017. I should be busy promoting
it.
While all this is going on, I have
been burning up the keyboard. I’ve started two new projects although I’m trying
to finish one before I go back to the other, a sequel to a novel sitting in
submissions. I’m whipping through the draft of a tenth novella in the Housetrap
Chronicles fantasy detective series. You have to strike while the idea is hot.
This one can’t miss, the author optimistically thinks.
But while all this is going on, I’m
being flooded with new ideas. I’m scribbling down notes on a final to a trilogy
where the first volume hasn’t even been officially accepted yet. Worse, I’m
doing outlines of two more tales in the Housetrap Chronicles series. I think
I’ve got projects lined up until at least 2019.
I guess this is what happens when
you sell the sailboat and are informed about how much work there is to be done
in the garden. Good thing the snow is already here. Now, if I could only get
the cat to adjust to standard time. I really
don’t need to get up that early to
keep my writing on some kind of schedule.
