I’m still muddling through the middle of SoulQuest. This one section of the book is proving pretty difficult to write for some reason and I’m not really sure why. It could just be some general fatigue with the project as a whole. It’s been a while since I’ve written a longer piece than the novellas I’ve become known for over the past few years.
I’ve got a new piece I sent in to GaijinPot last weekend, which my editor told me would be up soon. So it will probably turn up by the weekend or early next week.
Once I’ve finished SoulQuest, I’ve been contemplating what I should work on next. It’s been a while since I’ve written an Infernum story, and I’ve got one planned for the third book in that series. Going along with the tone I’ve established for that series, it’ll be a stand-alone book featuring a brand new protagonist, with some familiar faces in supporting roles. I can promise that Dante, Tauna, and Johnny Venom will all show up.
Another potential project is the third Myth Hunter book. For those of you who have read it, you know Dragon Kings of the Orient ended on something of a teaser for the next book (and if you haven’t read it yet, what’s stopping you?). The next book will feature Elisa re-teaming with her sometime-friend, sometime-foe Lucas Davalos and going after the…well, read Dragon Kings of the Orient for the tease.
And then there are two other projects I’ve considered, both of them unrelated to anything I’ve done so far. One is a superhero book I’ve considered doing for a while. The other would be set in postwar Japan. But it’s too early to say anything more about either of these just yet.
Of course, it’s a bit too soon to get too invested in other projects while I’m still pounding away at this one. I might switch gears just a bit to do something different, since lately I’ve only managed to knock out a few hundred words per day as opposed to my goal of two thousand. Or I might just keep plugging away until I get back into the groove.
