I've made the mistake of adding on to my reading lists. I purchase about 6 books this weekend. Several were pre-orders. I spent yesterday reading a manuscript for WUTA Big Books. I got done with the 141 pages and then wrote a brief summary of what I'd read.
But life has gotten in the way of my writing. One of my parent's wrecked their cars. I'm now involved with car shopping for them. I wasn't able to make the session for my books. Not that it'll matter. I now have too many things on my plate...
1) Revising poetry. I've redone my older works and written newer pieces. I'm waiting to submit them when the small academic press start taking submissions again in the late summer/fall.
2) Short Stories. I have about nine short stories. Five that are part of the Kepler Cycle. Two that are Desmon Singh shorts, and two that are stand-alone pieces. I'm in the process of revising "The Scorpio Affair." This work has seem major editing. It'll need more work before I could in good conscience submit it. "The Scorpio Affair" and the four other shorts will be part of a larger collection of Kepler Cycle stories when I get done with them. I still need to revise "Polar Landfall," too.
3) Kepler Falling. Once I get all the short stories revised and ready for submissions, I'll then go back to Kepler Falling. This story needs a lot of work. More than I really dedicate to it, right now. The poetry and short stories will keep me busy enough for the rest of 2014.
4) Redemption of Eden. That is my Big Books submission for 2015.
5) Idea for another historical fiction/fantasy novel involving the Mongols. To be developed more fully once i have revised the two Kepler cycle novels and have them ready for submission,
