Yes, I’m writing the second book in the Sugarpuff trilogy. Scratch that. It’s written, and I’m deep in the editing process. And when I need a break from that, I’m laying out the sequence for book 3. I’m using some new software that I’m quite excited about, but I’ll have to talk more about that in a subsequent post.
This post is just a musing about where I’m at. Editing one, writing another and looking wistfully forward to my sabbatical next semester. It’s not that I don’t enjoy teaching. I do. But I find it challenging with all these thoughts in my head. It’s hard to find time to get them all out. It will be the semester of my dreams with full days to dream and do. When I can dream without hindrance. When I can do without roadblocks.
And that brings me to a new development; I’m working on a new series. I’ve got a lot of planning to do over the next month and a half if I’m going to hit the ground running in January. I’ll have to develop it in parallel with Sugarpuff book 3, but I think that feels like the easiest to manage distraction I’ve ever encountered. Two books is a breeze compared to a full semester of teaching and writing in the slivers of interim.
I’m optimistic and elated. More details forthcoming!
