I've been having a lot of fun with my writing as of late, but it's also been a bit of a struggle. After publishing Escape from Crescendo Station One, I had a number of ideas for my next book. But, they simply were not working as I had originally planned them, so for a while, I was stuck. After some careful thought and analysis of what wasn't working, I had two ideas, two outlines, of which to choose as my next project. Unable to decide what to work on, I started writing both.
Crazy, huh?
I thought so for a while. But, bouncing in between two manuscripts has been quite a fun and liberating experience for me. Why? Because, if I ever got stuck with one project, I could let the night watchman do his thing while I wrote the other. This approach has worked well, especially with allowing me a little more time to write during my weeks. I used to keep to a pretty strict schedule, trying to get a thousand words a day written, but that worked against me quite often. Why? Because I didn't need the added stress. Something else that has really helped.
As for what these projects are? Well, the first is scratching an itch I have had for a while now. A hint to the type of genre (mixed with sci-fi, of course) is the picture above. The second is more underwater science fiction, born after a good influence of anime. More will be revealed when I announce the launch of my Patreon, which will hopefully be next month, as I am currently waiting on some artwork for it.
Stay tuned.
