Refocusing my efforts
2 years ago
I've decided to put all my fantasy work on hold and focus on science fiction. I know I've been talking a lot about An Unlikely Bride and the sequel, but I've been reading it and I don't like it. I've been pulled in so many directions and when I do write it often becomes some frustrated and incoherent scream of creativity into the crippling void left by a lot of procrastination. Naturally the resulting work is below the standards that I've set for myself. I'm not going to scrap what I've done so far and I certainly have the intent to finish what I've started, but I had a stroke of creativity six years ago and not a lot to show for it since then. As much as I'd like to say that I can write just about anything and do this, that, and the other thing, I'm going to be honest and admit that I'm just not up to it. Writing An Unlikely Bride was a chore back then and editing it is an even bigger one now. Instead of struggling with something I don't have much interest in I'm going to work on the universe that has been close to me for over a decade and one that I genuinely feel good about improving. I'll revisit Anoria someday and I hope you'll be around to join me.
