Writer’s update

We’ve reached the I’d-rather-burn-it-than-read-it-again stage of writing/editing. I’ve spent entirely too long working on a novella. But this is what happens when you start writing something that bumps up against personal issues AND you’re dealing with crippling depression.

Also, I’m terrified of self-pub.

Also, also, I have no idea what genre the story is.

It started as a one-off vampire romance vignette. That’s not where it stayed. I need to finish the darn thing. I’d like to publish in October. Eek.

And then, I have some shorts I can put into a collection of my own work. Eek. And then… I have some things on the back burner which could come forward. Also eek. Because I have world building to do in any case. I like world building, but it takes absorption and hyperfocus. I used to love those things, but they’re hard to sink into anymore.

And it occurs to me that I’m whining. I’m grateful to be in a somewhat better place that I can contemplate accomplishing things. If I write it down and make the goal, it’s more likely I’ll stick to it.

October: self-pub vampire/urban fantasy/thriller novella

November: self-pub urban fantasy collection of previously published and new short stories
