More in *Coming Soon*

I’ve added some new pages for upcoming works on the *Coming Soon* page. Also thinking maybe I should take the “soon” bit off that page because not all of them are really that soon. Sorry about that.

I think I’m comfortable enough to say that the rewrite of Bye Bye Skyler will be done presently and I’ll be able to shop it around to publishers. Some of you may have read the previous version that’s no longer available. Same story, revised and lengthened. Completely m/f. Contemporary.

Reverb, is another rock star story. Not the Heaven Sent universe since it’s been promised to MLR Press, but knowing me it should have a similar flavor. I think I’ve finally got the idea solid enough to write it soon.

Also, Shifting Sands is now in edits so it can’t be all that long to wait for the anthology anymore. Woohoo! More on that as the time approaches.

And I left Leashed 4 up on the coming soon page even though I’ve stalled. I WILL get back to it.

Last but not least, I’ve made a page for the first Indigo Knights book, Squire. I think Rabin’s finally started to talk to me. At least, his significant other has started chatting me up. I think you guys will like Izzy. A bit like Hell, a bit like Owen and I think even a bit like Brent, if you can believe a Hell/Brent mix O_O More as I know more.

Delving for Inspiration

My inspiration level is at an all time low. I’ve got ideas but not any that are really panning out. And I’ve got to get something written soon!

So, in the past few days I’ve:

  • Watched Duran Duran Live from London. Am probably going to break out Sing Blue Silver next.
  • Watched 14 Weiss Kruez episodes on DVD (not Gluhen). Saiyki’s probably next. Might have to get the last few Get Backers DVDs finally.
  • Listened to Adam Lambert’s For Your Entertainment and/or Duran Duran for hours at a time
  • Been working on commission artwork. Haven’t done commissions in a long time and really didn’t intend to start up again but I needed some Poser ideas and some impetus for follow through.

It’s sort of working. I got inspiration for a new rocker story (not Indigo Knights or Heaven Sent. Sorry). But it’s slow going. I know I should be easy on myself since I’m just recovering from two weeks with what had to be the flu. I know I was on vacation before that and not expected to get much done. But I NEED whatever block is in my head to go the fuck away! I’m not sure what to try next.

So, help me out. Any ideas? What do you do for inspiration?
