Juggling projects

I know I just wrote about goals for the year, but here's another look at projects:

  • The Write Off - This is from the Millarworld forums.  I've been participating in these for a couple years now, ever since I first visited the forums for the Millarworld Annual contests.  I graduated to hosting the Write Offs several rounds ago, and while participation has certainly slowed from its peak, I'm still proud of keeping them going.  Technically there're two rounds open at the moment, one involving Mark Millar's DC/Marvel work and another based off of The Last Jedi.  I tend to participate as well as host.  Last week I wrote a draft of a script for the Star Wars one, and hopefully will finish one for the other this week.
  • Cloak of Shrouded Men - This was my first book, which I self-published through iUniverse, before free self-publishing became a much more convenient thing.  I delisted it from them a while back in the interest of finally getting a revised edit available through CreateSpace.  I just got a copy of Tom King's A Once Crowded Sky, which gave me another idea of what I could do with it.  Maybe I'll make this a priority.
  • In Greater Fear - This is a new book idea that came to me last week.  Could be very, very interesting.
  • Dirty Animals - This is the comic book project I was talking about last time.  No real updates to report, but it still fascinates me that I'm finally taking an active role in trying to break into the medium.  In hindsight really should've done something like this sooner.
  • poetry - I put out a collection way back in 2012, when I launched this blog, but never got around to putting out further ones, even though the material was prepared years ago.  And I have more material since then that can be prepped, too.  Last week I bought some poetry at a thrift store, and that got me thinking about poems again.  It's not so much the writing but the collections I've really let slip, as I haven't thought of myself as a poet (even while writing quite a bit of it) since college.  Weird.
  • Sapo Saga sequel - Still have this on the docket, but it seems to have been bumped by any number of the above projects.  Would be great to have a publishing contract!
