Writer Type Update

I finished my draft of "The Last Supper of Poppy Z. Brite." I'm fairly happy with it. I was amused the whole way through. I used archtypes of people in a Vampire LARP that I was in for a number of years. It gave me the giggles.

Now, I believe I will be able to finish reviewing the last 7 or so entries for Into the Dreamlands. I think I have a decent cover for it. I am very excited.

Now I need to finish the third Crossroads novella "The Strange Case of the Undead Alchemist." It is currently at 9500. I think it will hit about 12,000, which would put it in the range of the other two. And then the final novella that really will be a short novel at 30,000 words.

I need to remind myself to talk to louise_bohmer and see if she is still interested in partnering on the expanded version of Abigail's Dragon. I've pretty much hit a wall with that story and so I'm hoping that teaming up with a partner will help. I really dig the characters and everyone that has read it has enjoyed it.

My general policy is to try to hit the antholgies as the deadlines come out. The other anthologies that I wanted to hit are:

I'm thinking of doing something with Gawain and the Green Knight, but it would take a lot of research and I don't have a lot of time.

I kind of have a funny idea for this one.

I got nothing on this one. This shit is hard.

This one will be the Deadman's Hand.

Of course, I still have this list.
