What I’m doing now
Until We Met Again
Formerly known as "Project Lacewing", this sci-fi time travel romance novelette is now in its beta phase. I’m nervous and excited about this one. A lot of new learnings went into it, plus an unusual process I plan to tell you more about in the months to come.
Project Orellia
I will soon start on a little series of new books. Yes, I know I have unfinished serieseseses still to write, and they have not fallen off the radar. They just required more from me than I had the skills to give. I expect once Project Orellia is complete, I will know how to complete the other serieseseses at last.
Solarpunk life: Using pencils
After indulging in fountain pens for an extended period of time, I switched back to plain old pencils. I just couldn’t wrap my head around how to make daily fountain pen use a sustainable affair. Ink and plastic/metal mechanical parts did not seem as earth-friendly as graphite and wood. And although an entire pencil gets consumed, both the shavings and any paper bearing my writing can be returned to the earth via my compost pile, and help my carbon-capturing garden grow.
Other things...
- Looking for a new notebook to start gathering research notes for a future project
- Growing oregano, chillies, native lime, and onion weed (argh!)
- Not folding proteins for Team NewRomancers
