Now What?

I'm at a lull in my writing. I just finished two more small projects, have one client website mid-way done, and have nothing large looming on the horizon.

I have no idea what I'm going to write about next. I choose to call it a transition period.

Having just written a 3-book series, the characters have been embedded in my brain for quite a few years now, and I need time to get them out of my head.

I'm considering writing something in the first person, since I had so much fun doing it for the short story I just finished writing. It's so much more flexible a medium.

I've begun to run some ideas through my head, although nothing too seriously. I've thought about writing a few more short stories under my real name before embarking upon another Jade Coltrane novel.

I've been writing some lyrics for my husband's next musical project, which burns up some of the more poetic ideas I have, so there's no need for me to write more poetry, thank God, because frankly, they work better as songs than they do as poems.

I was also toying with the idea of writing porn. Maybe I'll do all of the above. Or none of it. I didn't realize how taxing a novel - or three - can be. I'm taking some time off to enjoy the transition. You know... to transcend.
