Two posts in one week. Wow, I might actually be getting into a groove or something.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about writing lately. And streaks. And self-care. Shocking, I know, but bear with me, because it all ties in together. I’m still picking at the Advent story, but I’m paused as I need to figure out some plot things that were just thrown up at me. There weren’t supposed to be more people in this story, and now I need to figure out where they are going. This means stopping writing and actually doing some plotting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ve got two books that are now in my calendar to proof-read, but I’ve got room in February and March right now, as well as further out. I’m also starting to plot what else I need to do this year. I’ll be at RavenCon and Balticon with new books (yay,\u00a0Winter Storms\u00a0<\/em>is finally coming out!) and calendars. I have to get stickers done too.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In addition to rewriting Molly’s 3rd book (and no, I don’t have a title yet) for publication for December 2018, I need to decide my next book as well. I believe I’m going back to\u00a0Resonant Frequencies<\/em>, and there will probably be a ghost story or two as well. The Sapph universe isn’t working the way I want it to, so I’m going to try again. With brand-new characters, and a different kind of feel. There’s too much magic leaking into Sapph and while she’s fun, it’s a little bit of a Mary Sue. So I need to try something else.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I also have a project that I can’t talk a lot about here yet (but I will be working on it, and it’s cool! I promise!). In addition, I have some friends with some neat books coming out, and I’m thinking about inviting them to come on over and tell you all about it.<\/p>\n

Last year was about surviving. This year, I’m looking to step back into the sunlight and try to thrive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
