Nome: The Crisis
Oct. 20th, 2008 08:54 amAs illustrated by Dr Zoidberg.
I've changed my mind about Nano several times this weekend. First I changed my mind about doing it at all. Then I decided I would do it. Then I decided I wouldn't do
Slow Burn, I would do some steampunk-esque YA instead. Then I decided to do Slow Burn after all, and then I decided not to do anything because my wrist hurt from all the flip-flopping.
Now I've decided to do it. But I'm thinking I won't be doing Slow Burn. Here's the thing: I really want to be a published author. It's pretty much all I have in the way of ambition (except owning a donkey) and in order to achieve that, I need to focus more. I currently have three novels, all of which I think have a decent chance of selling with a bit of work, and I'm focusing on just them for a while. Which means Nano will be dedicated either to A) re-writing Fire and Moonlight or Wild or B) finishing off Death for the Born. I really don't see DftB being another 50k long, so option A is most likely.
Sigh. Watch this space as I frantically change my mind again and again for the next two weeks.
Adding to my crisis is the fact that I overslept by almost two hours this morning and haven't had a shower or anything to eat.
