So, in the beginning, I told you what you will and will not see.
Here's one of the things you will.
Firstly, I'm going to blather on about the writing I will be talking about.
1. Right now, my biggest work in progress (WIP) has several names: Changes, The Rewrite O' D00m, or it's actual working title Knights of Orion (KoO).
This one has dragged on so long that I'm just sick of it. But, it's honestly, the first manuscript I've seen through revisions and am thinking seriously of farming out somewhere. I'm not sure where, but I'd like to.
There is still a lot of work that needs to be done, but I'm going to finish this draft before redoing those bits that need done.
2. Another WIP that gets no love at all is Mira and Hyst. This is a story of noblewoman turned mercenary, then completely betrayed along with a whole host of other people.
I'm not really sure if I like this one, or if it's just still an idea that needs work. I've pretty much abandoned it at several points. I think, that going back, reworking the storyline, redoing the world building and everything might be the best.
3. Third WIP is complete turn around from the other two. This one is written in first person, and is about a young farmgirl trying to save her homeland, and about to become queen.
Cliche? Possibly, but it can still be done well, and that's what I'm trying to do.
I love Arissia. I do. She's light, and fluffy and fun. There are so many things that I could do with her, but right now KoO is taking precedence.
Those are the big ones right now, and others might come and go, but I'm really working on doing these three right now, in between what life has given me.
Now, onto more general things:
Last week, I signed up for an online 'class' and tonight it started. The class list is here and the classes are conducted through Yahoo Groups. I'll, most likely, be talking about these in the weeks to come.
I hope they actually do work out, because despite being nervous to speak up and unwilling to be the first to step up, I really would like to do something with them. Plus, they just look interesting.
I'm pretty sure I had a few more things to say, but I'm running out of steam and still have RP tags to write (why yes, I do RP, and have fun with my writing, rather than just sweating bullets!) so I'd better get on them.
