So, haven't mentioned this here yet, but last Thursday in a coffee shop in Yokohama I finished up another rough draft on a novel.
It's SF about science being religion and making it again what it should be. I started it for Nano 2010 and I worked on it throughout last year, but never with enough time to get to an ending. Of course I didn't exactly get to an ending, as much as found a stopping place with over 90,000 words. Very sure there's at least one more novel needed to finish the story, but not sure I'll get to writing it in 2012.
Another novel finished, I started on a new rough draft. Another college horror novel, this time set in Athens, Ohio at Ohio University and involving the haunting of the old insane asylum nicknamed The Ridges the university bought and has been renovating. It's set in the summer when the bustling college city becomes a sleepy appalachian town.
In novel revising, still working on deciding how to rejumble parts in the Native American fantasy novel. Instead, on the train last week I read up about weather change for the SF western I want to write. That's research and thus writing work, right? This week I have a query package for the Rhode Island set horror novel to revise and edit.
Submission is one of those things I want to do every month this year, but have yet manage in January. Off this thursday, so along with getting my house back in order I need to send out some novel queries for my first ever novel, even if it only ends up as practice.
