Writing News

Well, I've got writing news and a spot of editing news.

About my first play, Paper Cranes, my lovely, adorable brother (*waves*) kindly edited the beast. I'm still working on the cover, and I want to draw (perhaps with SketchUp if I can get it to do what I want) the four sets for the three acts.

You'll get updates about that.

I'm up to chapter 3 of my fantasy novel, Death in My District, and it's a monster plot (I already have about eighty A4 pages *gulp*).

My Sci-Fi PI stories, Muff&Sherly, were meant to be short stories, but it turns out that the very first story introducing most of the characters is going to be longer than... oh, say A Study in Scarlet, for example.

Well, it's not about length or whatever, and I think [Note self: ask my test readers for confirmation] that they don't feel long and boring. The plot bunnies are talkative, but not in a sleep-inducing way (I hope!!!).

Muff&Sherly, Story 1, shall be finished very soon, and then I'll have other plot bunnies to work on (I have eight other stories for that universe that are fully outlined, but I'll work on another universe for a bit).

Perhaps I'll work on a story about a dolphin family.

Perhaps I'll work on the mad plot that was generated when I corrected a quiz with my students: The Story of Red Riding Robin Hood and the Zombie Mutton (don't ask!).

Perhaps, and it's quite likely, I'll write the film script I've had in my head for years: the adaptation of Mireio, the novel by Mistral, (with dialogues in Provençal, which almost guarantees that it'll never be filmed, but I've been wanting to write that script for years, and I think the plot bunny just attached itself to my ankle).

I'll keep you posted on all the bunnies.
