State of the Nome

With Demonised in the capable hands of one or two beta readers (one of whom has already warned me "not to hate him" when I read his comments), and BAD DOGS under way, it seems like a fitting time to see where I'm at.

Writing Life (in no particular order)

1. Finish Earthbound for Queer Light anthology - still waiting to hear back on this one.
2. Rewrite Wild for my Fearless Agent. First three chapters must be done by 23rd March. Shouldn't be a problem. All done and dusted, waiting to hear from my Fearless Agent as to whether we're set for submission or not.
3. Finish Demonised, an Ethan Banning novella, for submission to Damnation Books - My plan is write up a synopsis while I wait to hear back from my daring beta readers, then hopefully be ready to submit by the end of June.
4. Start on BAD DOGS, the sequel to SILVER KISS - The process has begun! As I'm taking part in kaz_mahoney 's writing summer camp, I expect to make steady progress on this over June, July, and most of August.
5. Continue with Afterburn, the sequel to AFTERLIFE. - Yep, still on the list, except I'm changing the title back to Halflife because I decided to steal the original plot for another novel to be written in the future had a rethink on the storyline and came up with a much, much better idea for Yasmin's second adventure.
6. The Queer Gothic anthology is due for release soonish, so I should have edits for Moths forthcoming too. - Still waiting to hear about this one.

Real Life

1. Keep job-hunting! Must be in new job before the summer if possible - Um, fail?
2. Start house-hunting. Must be in new house before the summer. I will not spend another winter in this glorified cowshed - Hey, look at that! I achieved a Real Life goal!
