Let me tell you what: July was rough for writing. I didn’t get nearly as much accomplished as I’d have liked, but that was probably due in part to being completely overly ambitious in my goals.
Which is okay.
All of it is okay.
What I’m going to do is concentrate on what I was able to figure out:
– I have a lot of ideas that are starting to percolate for the whole UNSETIC Files/Lost Angels universe, not just the major focus projects, but big throughline, whole universe plots and subplots.
– Lost and Found is going to be longer than I originally thought (which is awesome)
– Lost and Found is going to end up setting up a lot of other things in the universe
– There are many connections between the things that are slowly being revealed in Lost and Found and in another recent project, Universe, having to do with the Grey family and stuff that’s happened with them in the past and things that will happen with them in the future (White Rabbit is still in the cards)
– I need to do some more groundwork for Epsilon: Shattered
– It’s okay to skip around in drafts (though I already knew that)
August will hopefully be a bit better for writing, but we’ll see. There’s a lot to do around my place before classes start up again in a few weeks and on top of that, I’m training for a new position at my day job while training two people to do my old job. Sounds like fun, right?
Stay tuned for a goals realignment post in the next few days.
