Progress post

It's been a while that I did a progress post on the writing I'm doing.

I'm very honoured that people still appreciate the stories I put out. That's part of why I'm writing. The other part is that I'd love to read what I write, and since those stories don't exist yet, I'm creating them.

So, where do we stand and how to approach this?

First a story that's written but still in 'edit' mode: "Pali". That might not be the title but it's the name of the main character. The other main character is Rulani, and this is a fantasy story.

Then there's "Fairy Cane". That's written and waiting to do in edit mode. I can't do too many of those at the same time as that's confusing, which surprises me. I can write everything at the same time, but not edit.

And yes, the cane you see here is real, it's mine and it will be on the cover of the book.

That's it for the edits.

I'm writing part 5 of Emma Nelson, which progresses slowly. That's always so when I write mysteries. Slow. I'm not a good mystery writer, I think, but I will get it done.

Then there's Superheroes part 4. What will they do after the explosive end of book 3? Trust me: I don't know either, but it will become clear as writing progresses.

"Naked Crow 14" is also in the works. More adventures and Native American puzzles for Sheila and family, and they're going up into the air as well. But not for long.

Finally there's "Saoirse". A story I once thought of, long ago (early this year), which carried on until around July, after which I ran out of steam. Only last week, after talking with my little group of weird writer friends online, did new insights appear, and since them the story's running. Really, it's going fast and I love it.

It involves Irish mythology, the Tuatha dé Danann and big problems in their mythological world. (And no, this is not part of the cover for the book, I'm far from that yet.)

As some of you care to know, I also write non-naturist stories, and in that realm I'm also working on 5 stories, among which one in Dutch.

I often say I don't have time for a job. Can you see why?

I hope you liked this peek in Writer's Kitchen!
