Status of Current Projects

After a longer-than-expected hiatus, I’m returning to writing. One thing I didn’t anticipate when I returned was how much I had forgotten about each of my series. That’s why I quickly realized I needed to spend some time re-reading my books. There are so many nuances, secondary characters, plots, and subplots, and I needed to refresh my memory on all of it. As I read, I’m adding to my notes and making lists of characters, places, infernal weapons, and anything else that I think I need to know for future stories. Having multi-layered, complex stories is a good problem to have!

Now, on to specifics…

The Alchemancer series

I have the next Alchemancer book (called The Inversion Solution) fully outlined. I actually finished the first draft of chapter 1 before I stepped away a few years ago. Next, I’ll revisit the outline, make any needed changes, and jump back in where I left off.

The Assassin Without a Name series

I also have the next Assassin Without a Name story (tentatively titled The Enemy You Know) outlined. I’ve already started reviewing it to make sure it’s up to snuff and adheres to the direction and spirit of the series as I see it now. Needless to say, given my current re-read of the series, I’m finding an abundance of changes I want to make to really take this thing to the next level.

Other Projects

I have many other stories I want to tell, but, given the above, I’m already too time-constrained as it is. Writing one book is a big feat unto itself! Writing two at the same time, even more so. This is where more time would help, and it also segues nicely into my next post, where I will discuss the financial side of things.
