I completed the latest rough draft of a steampunk novella set in South Africa during the Boer War today. I went through and did line editing. This is the last manuscript I'll write. My writing has been cursed turning into novellas. I wanted a second novel length manuscript. All I got was three novellas. I started to bring the first sci-fi novella, Nordic Sun, to the weekly WUTA critique meetings. Its my longest piece at 32,000 words. I have another historical/fantasy work called Ganbaatar It's set during the Mongol invasion of Russia in 1223 and is 19,900 words. I also the steampunk novella called Johannesburg Passage. It's a wartime tragedy. It's only 12,000 words.
These works need weekly WUTA critiques in order to be revised properly. I'd also like to take them through WUTA Big Books for a more thorough critique after they've been revised a second time with suggestions from WUTA's weekly critique group. I figure it will take all of 2017 in order to get the novellas reviewed.
I also have poetry at our Maya Cafe sessions to be critiqued, too....
