And I'm terrified.
And thrilled.
So much writing to be done.
Would you believe I've planned out the narrative spine for the World of WarMachines series. We're at the end of Arc 2. The true end is when "People stop enjoying it", but I laid out the plot for five more arcs after the three I've either finished, or about to finish. Then a ninth arc to wrap up the story, an epilogue arc if you will.
Free Trader Mary's Dream is just entering the final third.
Rogue's Rules has a sequel planned out and plotted out, but not written.
Wastrel's Dream will start up again when Mary's Dream story ends
One-on-One's patiently waiting to return, and I owe it to them.
And I have a new story to write. It's not much yet, one chapter, but I wrote out the plot. If anyone wants to read the one chapter and tell me whether they think I should continue it or put it at a time when the other projects are finished, let me know.
Do you know how absolutely TERRIFYING/THRILLING it is to have so many projects, lovely projects, wonderful projects that need writing?
Especially when this time a few months ago, I considered dropping my subscription here because it hurt to read all those "Great stories, just could you finish ONE?" comments.
It's like riding the crest of one of those super-waves you see in surfing videos. You're thinking "God, this is awesome, I want it to last forever." and simultaneously. "Oh god, I'm going to wipe out at any moment and the wave's going to pull me under."
It's the curse of having an active imagination.
