A Scenic Outlook on the Evolving Road Map

 
Yesterday on The Journal’s emailing list I finally admitted in public that the update of The Journal that I’ve been working on is The Journal 6 (due out this summer). I then gave a broad-strokes “road map” for future development of the software (summary: IPad -> Mac -> Android). So now I’m doing something similar for my fiction.
 
The David Michael Fiction Road Map:
2012

Publish New Fairy Moon (soon!) – tween modern fantasy
Complete Gunwitch2 manuscript – flintlock fantasy/frontier fantasy (Gunwitch sequel)
Write GoSH2 – tween modern fantasy (New Fairy Moon sequel)
Publish Gunwitch2

2013

Write Gunwitch3 – flintlock fantasy/frontier fantasy (Gunwitch2 sequel)
Publish GoSH2
Write GoSH3 – tween modern fantasy (GoSH2 sequel)
Publish Gunwitch3

 
I hinted at this in yesterday’s post. Today I decided to be more explicit.
 
I could plan past 2013, but I think you get the general idea. Besides, I hate going on record *that* far in advance. And, who knows? Maybe I’ll have some thrilling new idea for a book or three twixt now and then.
 
Currently, I have 6 GoSH books planned, so that series will keep me busy for a while (especially writing only 1 per year). For the Gunwitch series, I’ve planned out to #3. I will write more than that, I’m sure, eventually, because I love the setting and the characters, but right now I have just the 3 planned. For that matter, I expect to create further 3- and 6-book series of GoSH, I just have only the first 6 on my plate right now.
 
Sometimes I do wish I was more than one writer. But I am only one writer, who is also one programmer.
 

 
So, yeah, I kinda know what I’ll be doing for at least the next couple years. But I’m OK with that. I do better with a schedule than without one.
