Another small step...
Feb. 9th, 2007 08:11 pmRead-through on first of two chapter clusters complete, and feeling pleased with how it all came together. There's no point in pushing, since editor won't be in office until Monday. So I rest, and come back with clear mind.
What's next?? I've been promising myself for some time to do a bit of short fiction. Then, back to THE SEVEN-PETALED SHIELD #2, THE PROPHET OF MEKLAVAR. I think I know my way through a plot sticky that kept fouling up Chapters 4, 5, 6. Because it's one long story arc and because I have other writing commitments, I want to be well into #2 before I send #1 off to editor -- the idea is to bring the books out in some reasonable time frame. So there's the illusion of doing nothing, to be followed by many large manuscripts landing thump on editor's desk. Maybe I should warn her??
Next Darkover project will probably be completing Marion's partial ms, THE RELUCTANT KING. It contains background material for the next-in-time-sequence (most likely titled, THE CHILDREN OF KINGS) to make sense.
