Avoidance

I’m working on revisions tonight, as a way of avoiding listening to the Congressional speech. I did already finish the fourth draft of The Agency. It came in at 18,700 words, which is a solid length for a novelette. Now that the draft is printed, I also thought of a detail to add. That’s how it goes.

Next up is Willow Lake, the second volume of my Cleodora duology. This started out as the second half of a novel, and I can sort of tell. As I dug into the first chapter, I discovered that I hadn’t described either Cleodora or her spirit companion, Tef. After all, this book starts in what had been the middle, and the characters were already pretty well described. So that gives me something to work on immediately.

How about you? What are you working on to avoid having to think about politics?

Have you read one of my books? Then it would be great for you to leave a review! Meanwhile, if you’d like to learn more about me and my work, check out my website, Bluesky, Facebook or Pinterest.
