**************************
Tales/Poems in progress (Note: have now begun assigning them a number based on a plan, which might go wrong at any minute, but hell, I have a plan folks!):
Also, this is not in order of my planning, as plans never survive contact with reality or Murphy!
1: Finish the tale "Blade of the Eagle Clansman" for the blog here.
2: Rewrite of "Journey to Freedom" (draft 10)
3: Rewrite and expansion of "Predator's Ground"
4: Finish "What I Lost Last Week" CRAPP tale novella/novel length, about the week Tanner lost that laundry list of things, including three partners.
5: "Rust to Lust" A CRAPP tale about Tanner's second job with Cathay as partner, and how the Rust Belt really came to be such a place.
6: Make progress on "Coffee Pot Demon" (working title) co-write with a friend of a tale from the offices of CRAPP (Cleanup, Remediation, And Paranormal Protection office of the EPA). Destination still uncertain, as is length until the editing chainsaw touches it. About introducing a new officer person to CRAPP, and her issues with the possessed coffee urn in the breakroom, zombie houses, and other stuff.
7: Chain of Sorrows -The first tale in the Gyevo stories. Plan to ebook it when finished.6: Make progress on "Coffee Pot Demon" (working title) co-write with a friend of a tale from the offices of CRAPP (Cleanup, Remediation, And Paranormal Protection office of the EPA). Destination still uncertain, as is length until the editing chainsaw touches it. About introducing a new officer person to CRAPP, and her issues with the possessed coffee urn in the breakroom, zombie houses, and other stuff.
8: Winds of the Flame Queen - The TRUE first tale of Billenius' Life... unless you count the tale called King of the Radishes on here.
9: Make more progress on "Aliens and Souveniers" story.
10: "Payback War: Stellar Shockwave" a story of a ship's crew caught up in the heart of an interstellar war.
11: "Desert of Stolen Water" my 2016 NaNoWriMo project's working title. Another Steampunk piece.
In Planning/Layout:
1: Tales of the Fading Empire: a collection of shorts and novellas about the characters in Billenius' life. Exactly what it says, the background stories of how the characters in Journey/Seas/Waking cycle came to where they are in that cycle of stories.
2: Crossing to the Shadows The first full tale of the Walkers in Darkness series of fantasy tales, from which Exile's Road came.
No Urgency on these, just things I have notes open on, and am tinkering with to see if they gain traction in my skull.
Blood of the Hunter A Hunt of Scorpio Kenrai about an earth elemental demon amid his kin.
Loadout Error a scifi short about issues on load and balance of a spacecraft.'
Eyes and Ears of the Tsar Walkers in Darkness #2 story.Towers of the Arbitrators a fantasy tale, destination and length still undetermined.
Thought-Eater's Blade A hunt of Scorpio Kenrai, planned to be done next year.
Patience of the Kniaz A short story about the dwarven prince Gyevo.
Conquering of GusukalKi: A tale of the Seduteskindara-Nigkua War. This was my 2015 NaNoWriMo win thing, and it needs lots of chainsaw, more details, more chainsaw, a whole new stretch of desert to dig trenches for Toxic Word Dumping in the middle of the night, and maybe, if I clean it up enough, a set of eyes on it for beta reading.
Words from the Curbs and Cold Streets: Poems and essays on my time spent homeless (2011-2015) This one is still too close to me to do right now.
Words of Smoke and Hope: Poems about better days now here. (Yeah, the pain is still too close to write about the streets and my time on them, despite the need to do it, just to purge the worst of it.)
Paperwork Pixies A CRAPP tale about how things really get done in the office.
