Crescendo
The last few days have been some of the best writing I’ve done since 2006.
Given how crappy my 2007 year was for writing, that’s saying a lot. The other day, I found a new cafe near my house in New York to write. It’s a tiny place with about six or so tables, smaller than anywhere I’ve written in before, with cheap coffee and great pastries. I can’t wait to get back there next time I’m in the city. At this point, I really have no idea when that’ll be, given I’ve basically sold my soul to Vermont (I’m a registered voter here now). I’m not complaining, really. Despite the rampant cold, I love it up here.
Work is progressing on The Madonna Lily, slower than what I’m used to for big projects, but normal for the start of something as new as this. It’s way too soon to tell what I’ll wind up doing with it, if it’ll end up online eventually or whatever, but I’ve got a strong feeling it’ll be a while before anyone sees anything from it. And I guess that’s all well. I’m taking this project fairly seriously, meaning I’m going to want to do my best and probably finish a draft before I know what I want to do. Hell, I don’t even have an ending in mind ^^;
That doesn’t mean you won’t see work from me this year–no, exactly the opposite. I’ve got something cooking now that I can’t quite talk about yet, but when I can, I’ll post. All I can say is “you’ll see.”
