Well, the stories that are become Echoes And Memories have all passed the initial draft phase. Now I send them off to beta readers for outside opinions while simultaneously working on something else so I get some mental distance, all the better for whipping them into shape for final publication this summer. (*Note to self: work on the book blurbs BEFORE the day of publication!)
However, I'm switching to work primarily on something not writing or publishing related. As I mention every now and again I do a lot of hobbyist game design, and much as with my writing I'm hoping that will eventually turn into a professional pursuit. This next month will be occupied with finishing up a prototype of a game I've been creating for a few months.
In that light, I'm officially making this blog a Writing/Publishing blog as well as a Game Design/Creation blog. I imagine there is enough overlap in the fandom that I won't annoy my handful of readers too much, and it beats having to start up a whole other blog that no one reads. I can always split them up later if need be.
So, expect my rants, rambles, and raves for at least the next month to be on game topics!
Good luck with the game designing as well as these upcoming projects. Work and focus--shifting from one to the other can certainly help sharpen the results.
ReplyDeleteCertainly does for me. I find that if I don't decide ahead of time to devote a certain stretch of days (currently about a month at a time) to a certain project, I'll waste a lot of my down time just deciding which project to work on.
