Where does the time go? Well, this past April, six months into Saccades Project, I had to put it on hold. Because, having reached the halfway mark I’d laid out for this new novel, I already had 1,000 pages of writing. Which is about three books worth of material.
Speaking of good problems. Last month, while taking a break from Saccades, my novel in progress, I wrote my first sci-fi novel, start to finish. Sci-fi, that’s right. Why the hell not? It just happened, and it was fun, too—like who knew writing could be so much fun?
So I’m now polishing two novels, which just gave me an idea for another book. And all three of these novel ideas are sizing up to be serial, too. Like three books per series, easy. In other words, I’m looking at something like two novels down, and only seven more to go. That should keep me busy for a while.
Oh, and after eighteen months in Buenos Aires, I moved to LA in March. The only real change—okay, two annoying habits I’ve picked up. One, I can’t stop talking about how great the weather is, and two, I can’t stop saying, “douche.” Didn’t used to get that at all, but now it makes perfect sense.
Otherwise, life is good. Thanks for stopping by.
