I know there are a number of members that are actively writing and I'm curious to know what you're all working on!
Lately, I've been working on editing Undead Knightmare for Creem_Filling--as well as another project of his, that I hope ends up seeing some love on here. Aside from the editing, Discovering A Pandemic, and miscellaneous short stories, I've been working on my first detective novel. It is currently sitting at the 81,000 words, and relatively close to finished--the first draft, anyway. This will be the fifth novel I've written, but the first one that I'm excited enough about to begin the search for an agent and a publisher. Last year, just before Christmas, I was lucky enough to take my first vacation in almost six years, and instead of heading somewhere warm, I crammed myself into a quiet corner of my basement and started working on a short story about a detective who really should have been a plumber.
Over the course of the holiday, which lasted about two weeks, I was consumed with a desire to keep writing. I hadn't set out to write a novel, hell I hadn't even set out to write that long of a story! Still, the words refused to stop, I fell in love with the characters I was creating, and before I knew it I had the first two hundred pages of an exciting--at least I think it is--adventure. It's a love story, an action/adventure, and a cynical take on friendship. With any luck, maybe a lot of luck, I'll find someone willing to take a chance on a new author.
So... what about you? What are your current projects (W.I.Ps) about? What genre do you write?
