Ah, the time between manuscripts... I've been working on Guardian's Redemption on and off, only to realize there's something about it that's not sitting right. Then I rewrote the first page from a completely different angle, and felt it hit. Yes. Finally. Which means I have several chapters I'll have to rework and try to fit in...somehow. It's frustrating, since I really liked what I'd already written. But it just won't work for the story I have in mind. My last chapter of the Storm Lords should be a conclusion, but I also want it to stand alone as its own story, unlike the other four books. An interesting concept, and one I'm working on.
On another note, I've contracted a short story with Loose Id about a ghost and two potential lovers with misconceptions about each other, Mirror, Mirror Standing Tall. I'm hoping it will be out in time for Halloween. And I finished A Royal Continuum, a novel about Matthias, one of Ferin's brothers from Firebreather, for Amber Quill. I just need to polish it before submitting.
But still, I'm bent on finishing my Storm Lords by the end of this month. I might be taking on more than I can chew, but I think if I really put my mind to it, I can meet my own deadline. At least as far as the rough draft goes.
Well, that's my news for today. More tomorrow!
