Fear the Stack
ASSASSIN'S BLADE my current WIP is off to my #1 fan and crit partners. Actually it went out a few days ago. And I've been wondering around, lost. Normally when I finish an edit, getting the story as good as I feel I can and send it off, either to get critiqued or to query, I feel wonderfully drained. And while I'm still satisfied, I'm feeling listless without work on my desk.
I tried my hand at several things, testing the waters of a few different projects. Like spending a whole day plotting about the first quarter of a new project. I tried reading--and I finished a few books, which is great--but I can't seem to sit still long enough to let myself fall into more stories. After opening a few older ideas that were so bare they were practically nonexistent, I stopped at a very thick stack of papers in my file cabinet. LOST IN THE SHADOWS.
That's right. All 115k (or so) of Angel and her friends. I got so nostalgic I daydreamed about some of my favorite scenes. And I just knew. While I may feel crazy, the boyfriend called it ambitious. So I've decided me tackling this project (which has been through more edits than I can count) puts me somewhere in between. Crazbitious? Ambitrazy? Um. Maybe neither of those work, but you get the idea. :)

I've already cut the first five chapters *EEK!* So I must keep going.
