matt_doyleFiction writing going slowly. The Hellion Prince is sort of staled while the next couple of already-written chapters get typed and edited -- I have somewhere between two and three more nearly ready to deliver, but am fiddling with transitions and pacing and adjusting my outlines for the rest of the book. Cthulhu Christmas now exists as five different drafts of five very different stories, none of which is wholly satisfying to me. Or, y'know, finished.
I'm toying with the idea of assembling a local writers' group to help keep me motivated and on task and whatnot. This last month has been rough, productivity-wise.
I have, however, started work on something else -- a bit of RPG writing I hope to have in .pdf and .epub form in January or February. It's called The Periodic Tome of Elementals, and includes templates, spells, feats, and monster stat blocks for well over 100 elementals (from Hydrogen to UnUnoctium, though I may cut some of the synthetics...), plus reactionals and compoundinals. My good friend and erstwhile physicist and DM Peter is collaborating with me on this, and I hope to drag in an artist or two to do illustrations and cover art. Discussions this past week have made me more determined than ever to try and make some money and reputation doing game-writing, so if you or anyone you know might be willing to shell out $10 for The Periodic Tome, let me know.
Still pondering an .epub or Lulu self-published anthology of short fiction, as well, but that will probably wait for next year.
