Must rectify that. Although I have been busy. I wanted to finish the novel I was working on before the end of the month, and preferably before school started back (tomorrow!). And I did that on the weekend. So my reward for doing that is... to start work on the another one. Yay. Specifically the final edit for my WIP with no title. No title at all. Usually I have at least a one word working title that I use for the folder, backup files and whatever else that tells what it is e.g. Boys for the one just finished, Treasure, Falcon (I used that twice); but this one lives in a folder called "New Folder". So I have called it my WIPWOT.
Now mentally switching between projects is of course tricky. You've spent months thinking about a set of characters, and their story, and what is important to them, so it can take a while to stop about that and start thinking about a new bunch. When I started on the one just done, it took weeks before "they" became the story that dominated my thoughts. So come Sunday afternoon, I started tidying files ready to start a new project and sat down to read what I'd done before, in the expectation that it would take at least days before I started properly thinking about the "new" characters. A couple of hours later...
Oh, he's back. My anti-social, foul-mouthed, opinionated wretch of a MC, and his friends, family and the fucking sandys* too. (And he doesn't like my music, especially *that* song, but all the others too.)
Oh well, I shall have different things to grumble about now :) Also, need some new music.
