Haven't done one of these in a while.
Admit Me has gotten another 680 words added to it today, and I think I'll have more on it before I go to bed tonight. I have a good idea where things are going, and I have a history book to give me a hand in research - yes, I know, only one source, but I can only afford to buy one book at a time right now. Shall have to see about other sources later, but for now, the one I have is sufficient for this story.
auberus and I have started another story over the weekend, this one involving Montjoy the herald from Shakespeare's Henry V being an Immortal, and a crossover with Burn Notice. It's proving interesting so far, particularly as I know that at some point I'm going to have to prod at the Montjoy/Henry V dynamic, as it's been driving some of his reactions to Michael in the story.
But Montjoy as an Immortal is actually rather nice to play with - he's certainly easier to work with than Henry, for all that he's quieter and not always as willing to talk. Because when he does, he stays on one subject rather than trying to do everything at once.
But Henry's awake again, hence the more on
Admit Me, so all's good anyway.
And yes, am babbling.
Black, White and Gray is almost to the point where I can say I've reached the halfway mark in editing it. Then four more chapters to edit, and hopefully enough more to (1) meet the big bang requirements, and (2) find a point which might be called a stopping point for more than just a chapter, even if it doesn't yet meet back up with the beginning of the story.
Before the end of June. While still working on
Admit Me, and the
King With Two Crowns alternate history. And whatever project I'm working on with
auberus.
I think I can manage it, but it will be entertaining, either way.
As for projects with
auberus, there's the one mentioned above, there's a couple that are OCs FTW, and a Caspian-and-Silas post-apocalyptic AU. And several others that I'm still weeding through and figuring out what I think I can finish before sending the list to
auberus for her to weed down further. Maybe, just maybe, we'll figure out what'll eventually be finished, what's to be abandoned, and what's ready for beta and what's ready for posting. I hope.
Mm.
And I have one other writing project I do need to eventually finish up, but won't quite yet. And that would be the
One Night In Moscow AU, particularly the story that would be regarding the reason I use that name for the AU, and at least one more after
Koshka that involves Pepper and Ivan and Tony. And making life very entertaining for them. In ways both good and bad.
Well, ok, really I have a boatload of other projects to work on, but right now I'm attempting to keep myself to three active projects at a time. Even if I'm not certain I'll manage it. *shrugs* I might, at some point, do a list of all the writing projects I have in progress, and then figure out from there what's really abandoned, and what I might poke at again, and what's in desperate need of a blow-torch and heavy editing.
