Works-in-progress
- a short story for consideration in an anthology due July 31 (already have notes, general ideas of characters and plot, and it’s been cooking for a month in my head. This one will be drafted quite soon.)
- meeting with mom about big brain business fun, preferably first meeting in sometime in July (if Kit and I can gather notes in timely fashion)
- 21st century storytelling paper (collaborating with Kit O’Connell) due September 25 (also need presentation ready)
- story of some length no shorter than a short story but potentially up to novel length, from collaborative project, due at same time as paper (preferably before; looks like I’ll be branching out into learning to write a mystery story. Fun!)
- other diverse collaborative project bits, due same as above two
- magical realism story with the twins, due as soon as it gels enough to write
- Elliot’s story, due as soon as I figure out major structural horribleness
- novel-in-progress, first draft due end of December at latest (I solved the Chapter 7 problem: I’m ignoring it, leaving it in outline form, and moving on to chapter 8. I’ll be wading through with editorial scythe once the draft is done anyway; so far there are about two chapters that approach anything resembling “good”.)
- other sundry projects, both related to the novel and not, due whenever they jump out of my head and onto the page
- This doesn’t mention at all the 5 single-spaced pages of poem and story ideas that could demand brain space at any time, nor all the writing ideas I hide in my LJ and forget to tag. I think that should keep me busy for at least a month or two, yes?
