Not to get too far ahead of myself, but...
After I finish The Hellion Prince sometime this fall (sooner rather than later, I hope, brain chemistry permitting), there are two or trhee projects I want to get underway.
1) The Periodic Tome Of Elementals, which I still have many notes for but no formal work-up. I'm wondering about crowdfunding this if possible, but I know nothing about starting up a Kickstarter or Indiegogo project. How much should I ask for? How much should I have done before I ask? How should I set my deadlines for the project?
If anybody's got enough expertise to offer me some advice, I'd be deeply grateful.
2) A stand-alone novel about someone who's not a blonde magician and who has a healthy relationship with their parents. The novel should be written in under six months, might be crowdfunded, and will definitely be intended to be self-published rather than sold traditionally. basically, all the things I have yet to do with a novel but would like to try.
3) The same as #2, but to be sold traditionally, on the off chance that a stand-alone is a more attractive prospect to agents than volume I in a trilogy.
All this would make for a pleasantly busy 2013.
