Whoops!
I just realized that in my rush to get ready to go visit Anah (and then being there, and then getting back), I haven't posted here in a while. I'm sorry!
My visit was great. We got SO MUCH done. Holy cow. Anah says I'm a saint, but she's a freaking rockstar once she gets going.
Since about mid-March, we have edited and submitted a short story and two novels. We've also re-outlined a third novel (that'd be Ternion) and have started outlining a novella.
Of course, we didn't do much else. The weather was crap, so we spent all our time at the hotel, except for visiting with her adorable dogs. Maybe next time I visit, I'll control my urge to Get Shit Done and we'll go to a museum or something. ...which will probably be research (if not when we walk in, then by the time we walk out for sure).
We also put together a bit of a to-do list:
Fox & Crow Newsletter, May 8
Fox & Crow Newsletter: Trammel Release Day special edition, May 24
9 Naughty Novelists guest blog, May 31
Fox & Crow Newsletter, June 12
Ternion, June 30
A Novella, June 30
Dear Lake 2, June 30
Fox & Crow Newsletter, July 10
Fox & Crow Newsletter, August 14
A Novel, August 30
Trading Paint, August 30
A Short Story, August 30
Fox & Crow Newsletter, September 11
Fox & Crow Newsletter, October 9
Parallax, October 30
The novella that is not Victory Lane, October 30
Dear Lake 3, October 30
Fox & Crow Newsletter, November 13
Fox & Crow Newsletter, December 11
A Novella, December 30
Dear Lake 4, December 30
Now, everything except the guest blogs, newsletters, and the Ternion deadline are flexible at the moment. But it can be helpful for us to see what we're thinking about getting done, so that when other opportunities arise, we can figure out what to push back. ...and I like lists.
