How Many Projects Is Too Many Projects?

The title is something I've been grappling with lately. Like I mentioned a while back, I have more ideas than I can shake a stick at. Especially with virtual schooling and the general craziness of this world providing ample distractions.

When it comes to writing, I'm currently doing a little copy work on "The Curse of Yig" by HP Lovecraft and Zealia Bishop, which I plan to reprint in an anthology of speculative fiction set in Oklahoma.

This idea for this project--tentatively entitled "Sweeping Down the Plain"--captured my imagination a few years back and never let go. Once there are enough funds to pay contributing authors and artists, I hope to open up a call for submissions. Something like four original stories in each of the four target genres--fantasy, sci-fi, speculative horror, and alternate history--and a reprint section with four more stories.

Personally, I doubt this project will get off the ground for a couple more years, but I'm hopeful.

Otherwise I've been recreational writing for our Dungeon World campaign, planning a fresh round of edits for "The Death of Liberty?", and weighing a couple short story projects.

Now that my prescription has reined in my ailments and craziness of election season is past, I'm hoping I can concentrate a little more on giving all these projects the attention they deserve.

Hopefully I'll have another blog post ready for y'all next week!
