Moving forward

I've decided to turn this blog into my writing blog. I just started another one for music here: http://singlereedadvice.blogspot.com. Now, you may ask, why in the world would I be writing another blog when I don't even write in this one very often? Good question. I'm not making any promises, but I mainly wanted to separate my writing stuff from my music stuff.

Okay, so you see from my last post that progress is being made on Time Gangsters. Last that I heard, it is slated to come out in February, but that date is still subject to change. I just finished another draft of it and I am really excited about how well it's turning out.

As for other projects, I'm a little in limbo. I had my big dystopian/steam-punk project going well but I've discovered a few fatal flaws. I'm letting it sit for a while so that I can brainstorm with it more and see if I can find ways to resolve the problems. I still think its a good story, so I'm not giving up on it. And, of course, I have no shortage of new ideas, I just need to decide which ones to develop. I have a new idea for a sci-fi comedy with an adult protagonist. I think it's a fun idea, but I'm not sure how well a middle-grade type of story-telling with work with adult characters. I have no problem with it, I'm just not sure how marketable it will be.

Soon, I hope to get a few Myrick the Messenger short stories out. One will be coming out in an anthology, but I have two others I need to polish and post.
