I need to write something.
Dec. 24th, 2012 03:05 pmYes. I realize that the NaNo Project o'Doom is starting in just over a week and that I really need to work up the last outline for that.
This does not change the fact that I haven't written anything new since I stuck an END at the bottom of the steampunk werewolf western. And it bugs. I thought I'd be done with the outlines in a couple of weeks and I could settle down to finish the tattoo story, but that didn't pan out as planned, so here I sit. Storyless, and with only three complete stories on the year (assuming I finish the edits on the steampunk werewolf western in time to get it out to Writers of the Future on the 31st, which I will have three days to do after a meeting with my Writing Buddy on the 28th).
The sad thing is, only one of the extant outlines could loosely be called "science fiction," and it's my spaceship crew dealing with a new AI. It's probably (technically) space opera. This last outline could also be called "science fiction" if I actually knew anything about brain cancer or nanotech (even if there is a werewolf in it). A couple might be loosely termed as horror, but it really depends on how they pan out in the actual writing.
So... I think I'm a fantasy writer. At least for now. I'm okay with that, but I'd like to be a little more... eclectic in my writing. You know?
