Thought I'd post an update as it's been a while since the last.
New Horizon (wt)
Not much to report on the writing front. YNS (York Novelists Society) finished reviewing my first novel and now I've got to find time to revise it. Then I'll give it to them again and post it on the Critters Workshop and request novel reviews. Then, some indeterminate time from now, I'll be sending it out to collect rejection letters from agents.
Poisonous Garden (wt)
I've started the research and have begun building the StorYBook database for my conspiracy theory story Poisonous Garden. By starting now, I hope to be ready for the crazy writing of NaNoWriMo come November.
Anthologies
Assassin's Creed is coming together nicely, except for a bit of a snag with the cover. Farspace 2 is in the editing stage and the other two: Future Britain and Time's Edge, while both have covers, have stalled a bit with subs. I'm going to be sending invites to writers groups around the country to try and fill these. I'll be posting the covers on the Utility Fog Press site once they're finalized.
Artwork
I'll do my best to attend Eastercon this year (Odyssey 2010 in Heathrow). I've requested space to post some artwork for auction. At the very least, this should give me some kind of estimate on whether what I'm doing might have some value. So, for the moment, I'm preparing them in as high resolution as the program allows. Shortly I'll be sending test images to PrintingCanvas in Sheffield to see what the quality is like.
Other Stuff
As if that's not enough, there are always loose ends. I still hope to finish up my Unreal Tournament III fan fiction (almost finished the cover also!) and post it on my site as well as on Andrew Burt's iFiction project (for free download, of course). Eventually I'll start reworking my superhero/romance trilogy. I'm looking at cleaning up my fantasy script Absolute Power for submission to contest I've heard of recently, and I'm slowly doing a rework of the Y Not script, which keeps growing. It's now developing into a 3-4 season TV show.
Yep, keeping busy. The little one starts 4 days a week in nursery come September, which will give me more time. Then 5 days right before NaNoWriMo starts (perfect timing!). Now, I'm just looking for some way to sustain myself from this work.
