Writing in progress

The 2011 Whittaker Competition is over! It was educating to look at the fiction and poetry judge's notes, and sometimes my points were very low, an humbling experience, but we must not let other's vision cloud our own judgement. I was proud to participate, and it proved a great motivation to write.

Since the Clarion overlapped the end of the Whittaker contest, I worked harder and produced more new texts… and some new poetry!

I reached a modest tally on the Whittaker final tally (310 points) but was gratified by the production boost.

Here is my short fiction production during the 18 weeks Whittaker contest overlapping 6-weeks Clarion (not counting two weeks of family vacation!):

Eight SF&F short-stories in English
Nine poems

And here are my current works in progress:

- about 10 000 words on the last novel in the Chaaas series

- near 5000 words on my next SF YA novel (around 52 000 words) to be published next February if all goes well. I am in the final revision stage.

And did I mention my graphic novels projects?

Wind Mistress is currently published by parts, in a comic zine, Nexuz3.
