Part of my plan for this year includes writing two novels, one of which I started in January while on writing retreat and then decided to shelve due to the comments I received (you remember the young adult versus adult debate, no? Well, maybe I didn't tell you about it then).
My plan also includes getting into the HWA (can put a tick against that) and applying for membership of the SFWA (still to be completed).
Anyway, back to the novels. I really have to start writing them if I am to draft, rewrite, edit and submit two novels this year. I have an outline for a fantasy novel and one for a horror (which, thanks to Shadowthorne's comment the other day has been fleshed out nicely). I'm going to blog about writing the novel because a) I think it will act as a much needed mental plunger and b) I thought you might find it interesting.
Now to decide which idea I want to work on first. Hmmmm.

:) Always interested to help in writing the fantasy / horror novel of the century.
At least I can brag to my students that I have a friend whose novel was made into a multi-million block buster movie.
Make this a reality.
I can't compete with Shadowthorne's comment- it is class-
Go to it Inky, can't wait to read it
Fantasy in the Spring (faeries and such) and horror in the Fall (Halloween.) That's the rule. Better stick to it. :)
G.C.
I think you need to get away from reality a bit, (not from blogging!) so go with Fantasy first.

Yes Sir Shadowthorne! :) You have to come to the premier of the movie.
Thanks Anon. :)
Thank you for reminding me of the rule, G.C. How could I have forgotten! Duh. Silly me. It's fantasy of course.
You are so right SSQuo. :)
Hi Andy. Well, I am the Inkpot, had to change my profile pic. ;)
