I feel like I'm neck deep in far too many writing projects these days, which is an overwhelming and wonderful experience. I can easily remember what it was like to be lost in drought where it felt like ages between projects, and the wait between finishing a novel and seeing it in print could literally stretch for years. Becoming my own publisher is the best move I've ever made. It's brought back that immediacy between my writing and the sharing of it that I've been missing, and has lit a spark of excitement in me for writing that's been missing for far too long.

 

With the return of the rights to my novels from FFP, I've been caught up in getting all of those ready for re-release. Plus I have the fourth book in the Sacred Guardian series that needs a final polishing before it's ready for publication. I'm getting The Magician's Apprentice ready for release (finally!!!) along with its follow-up series, The Dragon Mage Chronicles.

 

On top of that, I've been getting an itch to start writing some new stories again. My muses have been working overdrive on that, and I've been telling them firmly to just settle down and let me finish the projects I'm currently working on first. So far they've been listening, but it's hard. I actually feel excited about writing again, which I haven't felt in a very long time.

 

I've actually accomplished quite a lot this year, though. Just to keep my head organized, here is my current to do list. I'm going to list the projects I've completed in addition to the ones that I still have pending, just so I can see visually that I am making progress no matter how far behind I feel:

 

Done:

* Pathfinder
* The Ouroboros Prophecy (Pathfinder 2)
* His Whipping Boy
* Nicholi's Vengeance

 

To Do:

* Exodus (The House of Silence 1)
* Ricochet(The House of Silence 2)
* Consort (The House of Silence 3)
* Entering the House of Silence (anthology)
* The Charming
* Dancing the Knife's Edge (Sacred Guardian series #4)
* The Magician's Apprentice
* Stormdrake (Dragon Mage Chronicles I)
* Seadrake (Dragon Mage Chronicles II)
* Firedrake (Dragon Mage Chronicles III)
* Wardrake (Dragon Mage Chronicles IV)

 

Wow, there's a lot more titles there than I thought I'd written. Looking at it listed out this way, it seems as though I'm a quarter of the way done? Yikes. But I do feel accomplished over what I've managed to achieve, and I'm really proud of the work I'm creating. That's what matters in the long run, I think, and that I keep keep moving forward one day at a time. It's hard work, but I really do enjoy it.

 

I'm going to include hyperlinks to the stories in the list up above just in case any of you are interested in reading some more about them. I think the first two books in the House of Silence series will be ready for release in a couple of weeks (I'm thinking June 7th?), but I have no firm dates for the rest of them yet. I'll let you all know when their release dates get closer.

 

Thank you to all of you who have given me such amazing encouragement and support in my writing endeavors over these past years. You're amazing and wonderful and I love all of you. I really couldn't have done any of this without you. ♥
