New Projects
Posted by mgnann on February 2, 2010
In an effort to spend more of my life looking at at screens, I’ve got some new projects I’m going to be blogging about.
Since finishing the tentatively titled, As Above, So Below, I have mostly been working to identify and edit some of the things I know are flawed with it. The number one thing on that list is the magic system, which was a huge mess on my part. That happened because I didn’t know what I wanted it to be, so it wound up being a lot of different things. There were also a few scenes that needed to die, as well as some that I wanted to give life to. That stuff is done now. I’m awaiting some reader feedback and then I’ll probably do a thorough rewrite and evaluate again after that. I don’t think I will stop tweaking it until I figure out how to get published, but until then I want to give priority to a few other efforts.
One is this blog. I’ve added a portal page that is dedicated to As Above, So Below and put a bunch of cool stuff there. There are maps, excerpts, and encyclopedic pages for places and characters– all stuff that deals with the first book.
Second is the novella I’ve been puttering around with. Similarly to the way I did with AASB, I’m going to start posting my thoughts on finishing that up. Third and furthest out is the second book in the AASB trilogy, and another full length, unrelated novel that I am going to start brainstorming for. I am not sure which of these I am going to begin writing first, but I will be talking about them both here.
I hope that by expanding this blog to include other things, that I won’t hit the lulls that I did trying to make it focus solely on a single project.
