Possibly I have too many novels in progress

Nano over. Sememester over. Now, I have to decide what to work on next. Of course, everyone wants attention...

"You said it'd be us next. You even went through and reread us recently."
"I did, but--"
"A nice little urban fantasy novel, remember. We'll be easy to write."
"But your beginning is so dull. If you could liven it up. Maybe?"
"Hmm. Not really. Anyway, it's Bay that's the dull one."
"I think he's the more interesting character. Look, find a more exciting beginning and we'll talk about it. Now who else is there?"
"Me."
"Of course. I thought you were staying with buffysquirrel?"
"I am. I came back to remind you about me."
"As if I'd forget, but I can't rewrite you unless there is some interest in your 'companion' book, remember?"
"That is hardly fair."
"I know. I'm sorry. Here, go down to the pub, my shout."
"Maybe me then? You have been saying you'll rewrite us."
"I know, Jake. I would love to and I do like the new beginning, but the other half of your plot has disappeared."
"I'm sure we could find one."
"We?"
"Well, Nate thinks he should get some more--"
"Ganging up on me is not fair. Look, you're too much work right now and I don't feel like writing about ships & things right now. And you can tell your brother that too. Go and get a drink off him."
"How about us?"
"Oh. I'd forgotten about you."
"I noticed."
"No, don't sulk. That's what made me lose interest in you."
"You don't even remember my name."
"That's because you keep changing it."
"I'm supposed to. That's the interesting thing, remember?"
"It's the only interesting thing. Another time, OK?"
"Us?"
"No. You've had chances to be rewritten. You blew them, and anyway, your characters are too similar to the one I've just finished."
"Just a little bit?"
"No!"
"As you mentionedjust finished, I think we're the obvious answer."
"No way. I just finished your first draft."
"Come on, you're still thinking about us all the time. You want to write fantasy now."
"Not listening."
"We do have the best plot of all, you said."
"Go away."
"Yes, go away. It's our turn."
"Hmm. You're too SFish."
"We only need another rewrite, you said."
"I know but--"
"Is that really so hard?"
"It's not even your story. Just because you're the character in the working title, does nt make it your story. She is off sulking somewhere."
"She's supposed to be."
"Your beginning is dull."
"You think so? How about you finish the rewrite of it and post it for comments?"
"Well..."
"It will only take a few minutes."
"All right, but it is still not your story."

(no subject)

With the new state library catalouge, it seems it is possible to put a hold on a book I already have out.
