Projects for the Coming Weeks (and Probably Months)

Now that my health is seriously improving (the difference in just a fortnight is incredible), I feel like going back to my old writing habits, except that instead of historical papers, I'd like to try my keyboard at different things, which doesn't mean that History won't ever be back on the menu (knowing my brain, I'll find some forgotten and obscure topic to write about soon enough).

Right now, I've decided to make a list (as well, announcing publicly the list of entertainment will encourage my Muse to get to work).

So, in the blogging department, I'm working on posts about:

- abuse

- bullying

- clueless GPs and specialists (now that I'm almost fully healed after five years of "sorry, Ma'am, we don't know what you caught, and we're at sea - but we'll never, ever admit it", it's going to be payback time - highly therapeutic!)

I think my Speedy Neutrino mate gave me my sea legs back.

In the more serious (insert chuckle at own self here) writing department, I've got to:

- finish my first play

- go back to my novel about a girl who gets a job as... Death (by the way: smacks self. I had a great idea about the conclusion for that story, and I didn't write it down - though I've got bits of paper all over the flat and in my handbag when I'm out!)

- write a sequel short story set in modern times (highly inspired by the hacking scandals) for the story I wrote à la Jane Austen (the one that had the OED website telling me that my style is 81% Shakespearean). In fact, I've got the first paragraph for that one, and I might be tempted to go on working on it first.

- I've got a sci-fi plot in my head, and it's been brewing there for years (monster plot bunny?). In fact, the blue rose symbolism might get that story on track for good... at last.

Not to forget painting, I might have to start working on two projects since the paint I was given has a life of its own and takes forever and a day to dry enough for me to start working on the second layer.

Here's the list. I hope to have one of the blog posts ready soon...ish.
