I revised my writing schedule. Following the example of Chris Bauer, I write one page a day of new material. I'll be doing this Monday through Thursday. The piece I'm currently working on is Straits of Magellan. I keep doing this for the rest of 2013 and all of 2014. By December 30, 2014, I should have at least 50,000 word rough draft for the novel.
The second part of my writing is editing and revising. I've been doing this with all my works. I got done reediting Price of Command. I'll go back and work on Kepler Falling next week. Last month saw me edit short stories. I revise about 2-3 chapters a day. Whenever I get done with a novel or short story, I move onto another piece. I'm hoping this will improve my editing skills and get my works polished up. I'm due for WUTA Big Books in April 2014. I'll have Kepler Falling ready to go by then. I'll get some real feedback on that novel.
At the time of this posting. I have about nine short stories, one novella, and a novel complete. I'm looking at completing a second novel by the end of 2014. I have plans for a three novel related series of sci-fi books. I also have the beginnings of a prequel for Price of Command. But that work needs to be fleshed out and broadened before I can do anything with it...
