I'm starting a new project tonight. I just put the finishing touches on a couple of works I've already promised to an editor. As soon as I have an official acceptence, I'll announce the publication. Looks like a great company to work with. Kind of like a publishing co-op.

The new project is story 1 of 5 I want to write in prep for my novel. I want to see if the Shoegazing genre will work in a story format. I haven't completely figured out how that will translate, but that's what the short stories are for. My goal is to do something really different. I want to focus on doing a new type of description and doing a couple of new things with characterization. These are things I've seen done before, but not often in the fantasy genre. In fact, I might not be writing in the genre anymore. I'll have to see what the novel looks like when I'm done with it, but it might need to just go to the mainstream as literary.
