deborahjrossI thought I might take a bit of a breather after finishing 2 big projects -- The Seven-Petaled Shield and Lace and Blade. I've been playing around with finishing turning the old family VHS tapes into DVDs (half done). Major cuteness of Rose as a toddler, then watching her and Sarah grow up as the years progress. Many milestones, footage of friends and relatives now gone.
Life as in Writing Mania had other ideas.
The MZB Literary Trust approved my outline for the next Darkover book. I finished outline a couple of short stories for specific markets. In the process, I discovered a story I thought in mid-draft form, but actually complete, and sent it off to my best-guess appropriate market. Printed out what I have of Shield II (Shannivar) so I had something to do while converting tape into digital file. Got sucked in by all sorts of exciting revision thoughts...
I can put off The Question while I finish the tapes. Maybe a week or so. And then, I must face the music:
Which project do I work on first?????
