Gonna try to remember to update this thread when something about my works in progress changes.
As of right now I am:
- still stalled on both Red (timeline) and Siaddaki (no excuse)
- however, feeling pretty optimistic that I will finish Goldmage with one final, twelfth chapter inside a month, and have commissioned a cover (different artist from the Elcenia covers)
- a bit over five thousand words into a new-setting short story "Diplomats" that I've been plodding along with since mid-April, tentatively plotted to the end but it doesn't feel super satisfying so there might be something wrong with it
- skeletally plot-outlined for the Setting Demand sequel to "Water", working title "Ice" (despite no ice appearing anywhere) because I'm super adorable and creative. Does feature Our Favorite Adorable Triad.
- after talking worldbuilding with Nemo, successfully resisting the urge to write AI-takeoff Toy Story fanfiction in the style of a multipersona AUSJ
- nowhere interesting on the AUSJ book idea (formatting sounds like a nightmare even though I have minions who do that sort of thing, filing the serial numbers off daemons seems impractical, and the Toy Story knockoff thing was going to be book-exclusive content but the idea got away from me and turned into the described mess)
- have covers done for Kindle editions of Consensus, Rings, Damage Report, and Sendaway, which are all pending various shuffling and/or blurb-writing before they're available for Kindle
