Sort of a 'Part 2' to my previous journal
3 years ago
So in my last journal, I meant to also include a basic update on writing projects and such, but it slipped my mind at the time. Not that there's much to tell, but it feels neglectful to have left that out.
So I've got my writing projects to finish up, as I mentioned. I'll have all that work off my plate by the middle of next month at the absolute outside (as in, I have contractual deadlines guaranteeing this). By then I'll also have seen a doctor and so depending on how that goes, I might rest my arm a bit and then after that I'm going to try to finish up the denouement for Conversion.
Hopefully after that, but probably at least partially alongside it in case I'm struggling with writer's block and need to switch gears, I'm going to do a long-needed revision on an old urban fantasy story of mine, one that I posted here many years ago called "Let Sleeping Foxes Lie." There's technically still a submission for it in my Scraps while I decide what I'm going to do with it long term, but in checking it to assess how much revision it needed (and also for reference as one of the things I'm finishing it up is in the same setting), I realized there was too much wrong with it for me to be comfortable leaving it up. (And I don't mean the usual 'everyone hates their own old writing' wrong, either.) So I replaced the file with a placeholder explaining the situation just so wonders where it went if they go looking for it. Which is also why I'm not linking it, because all that's there now is another version of this explanation.
And then, once I have both of those taken care of, we'll see. I've still got Songs in the Dark to work on, and in addition I've got some homebrew RPG stuff I want to do as well that I've been putting off for far too damn long, and more ideas keep coming to me. But I'm not going to pretend I can see that far into the future -- as much as I want to prioritize Song in the Dark so as to finish one project before starting another, we'll see how I'm feeling at that point.
I appreciate everyone's patience in this, and maybe after my contracted writing stuff is out of the way I'll finally get off my ass and get those older published stories of mine posted. I just kinda wish I had some art for them (or at least a more interesting icon), but I'm not sure if it'd be worth the additional delay and money to commission something. I dunno, we'll see how things shake out.
