There will possibly be a break in my usual word counts.
I spent today making a few minor fixes to the draft of Thought and Memory which is being sent out to beta readers. It still needs some serious work, but I think I’m too close to the work right now to be able to make the changes needed. And so, Thought and Memory will be laid to rest for a while.
Where to now? My first order of business is to read through the manuscript of Shaede (since it’s been at least a year since I last looked at it), perhaps make minor changes and then work up a query letter. And then query as many agents as humanly possible. And then wait.
I don’t expect to be working on Shaede for too long, though. Which means that I need to decide on the next project.
I do have a sequel to Shaede, Daemon, which is in very rought draft form. I also have a sequel/companion to Thought and Memory, of which I have something like six chapters. I also have the vampire novel, Requiem, which is mostly existing only in my head right now.
Or I could just work on some short stories. Which, if I’m completely honest, is something I rarely like I to do. Novels are where it’s at for me.
Decisions, decisions.
