| Just because I am working on something else—see below—doesn't mean I won't be coming back to BoM. There are places I would like to pick up again. I just don't have the enthusiasm at the moment. In the meantime, though, I'd like to hear from you guys about what you'd like to see. I thought about running a poll, but I don't want to offer the same few areas again. But neither do I want to commit myself to a commission. So here is my attempt to meld the two: Write to me with your preference for where you'd like to see the story continued. I will sort through them, and post some of them at least in a poll so the community as a whole can express a preference. A few guidelines: I am not looking for story or plot ideas. I want the freedom to make up whatever I want. I am asking for chapters that you would like to see continued; developed situations (like Sydney and her Brotherhood idea) you would like to see developed; characters or character sets you'd like to see get some face time. That sort of thing. You can post in the comments here, in the forum, or through email. If you don't have a WdC account, you can reach me thru seuzz -at- writing.com. I'm not going to post a deadline for submissions. We'll see how things look after a couple of days, but I will look to be posting a poll around about the end of the week. |
| At the start of the year I outlined my writing plans: I was going to be flexible this year. I wasn't going to dedicate huge blocks of time to particular projects, as I tried to do in 2019. Instead, I would set aside smaller blocks--a week or two, maybe--and either work on them until the deadline passed, or press on past the deadline until I had lost enthusiasm. I started by dedicating the first two weeks to Book of Masks. And here we are, in the middle of March, still on Book of Masks. A bunch of commissions kept me busy, and I wound up working with Masktrix to set up a whole new setting for BoM adventures. But I've reached the end of my string, I think. Commissions are fun, but they take a lot out of you. Starting tomorrow I'm going to publish a very short line of chapters early in the story—very early—to help set up an area Masktrix has expressed interest in. And then I'm going to go work on something else. I'm not sure what. I'm leaning toward that Spider-Man project; I don't like leaving things unfinished. In the meantime, everyone who has been emailing me with questions and ideas and BoM-related projects—you know who you are—you keep right on doing that. I'm not tired of BoM. I'm just tired (for the moment) of coming up with my own stuff. |
