I woke up this morning with a line in my head. This happens quite a bit. But of course, it wasn't a line for Gen. Or Isis. Or even D.

Nope. This was a line from the unnamed guy in a project I've been poking at on and off for about a year. I got up, wrote the scenelet, and realized I haven't done a project round-up on here in a while. So, if you're interested, take a peek into my insanity.

Top O' the "Must Finish ASAP" list is Gen's story, ACCURSED. I'm more than halfway through the first pass revision, and things are progressing. Granted, it isn't progressing quite as fast as I'd like, but hey, things take time to simmer. Especially bigger changes. Trying to figure out how to make Gen's life even suckier at this moment in story-time is harder than you'd think!

Next up is the *coff* fifth draft of THE TIES OF BLOOD (formerly ARION). And by fifth I really do mean more like eighth, at least for the beginning. But I think I've finally got it. (All y'all out there saying "I told you so" for adding Isis's voice... yeah, yeah, I hear you!) I'm doing recursive editing on this one, so it's incredibly slow-going, but it's working out well. Moody atmosphere FTW!

Third in line is the Cinderella retelling, which is my attempt at writing something not-dark and fun. Plus, it's an exploration in plotting, since it came with a pre-determined structure. Still trying to figure out all the little twists & such, but I'm thinking if I do decide to NaNo I'll use this one (yeah, I realize it's in a week, but my NaNo-ing is "write 50k in-story" not... whatever NaNo actually is)

Those are the major projects. The Not-Major-At-The-Moment projects are as follows:

WINGS AND FANGS: TAKEN-- Still debating structure on this one, since Phillip gets to talk (a lot, whether he wants to or not) and David's off in David-land and D's... well, she's got some issues. Er, a lot of issues.

WITH SOUL SO DEAD-- This is the second Arion book, formerly MORDAGRIN. There's a lot that I need to happen here, and with Isis back in the mix for narration, I've got to find a way to keep the first draft word count under control. But as book 2 affects what I need to place in book 1, keeping both storylines in my head is a good thing. I promise.

HEXED-- This might become JINXED. Yes, this is a book 2 for Gen. I couldn't help myself. But book 1 still does not have a cliffhanger. Yay, me! And I'm only vaguely poking at this one. I need more excuses for Gen/Wynne kissing scenes. (Right, Jess?)

Angels/Immortals Book-- This one is the one that woke me up this morning. No, this is not about fallen angels. I'm super-excited about this, but it has to wait, because if the MCs haven't even told me their names yet, they're not that eager for their book to be written. When they're ready to tell me, then they can move up a list ;-)

Think that's enough to keep me busy? Eh, probably not... Plus I'm sure I'm forgetting something.
