And to answer a lot of questions I've been getting all in one spot, I'll just make a post and pin it to the top of this page.
I had health issues, hence the huge stall out in writing. It was painful--*really* painful--to write. Standing, sitting, lying down, it didn't matter. I know it was about 9 parts burnout/psychological and 1 part physical, but it didn't change the fact that I was creating a dangerous medical problem by forcing myself to keep going. However, we got those issues ironed out and it looks like smooth sailing from here. So, in order, Sara's Tentative Plan For Completing Her Projects Now That Writing Is No Longer Physically Excruciating:
Current
Project: Daytona Dae (Prequel to Outer Bounds...sets the stage for the
Aashaanti, the Phage, and the AlphaGens showing up in OB3.) Daytona Dae
is Runaway Joel's illustrious mother, and this series gets right into
the blood, guts, and grime of her misadventures. I got 100k words into
OB3 before I realized I needed this backstory in order to write
believable characters and their motivations for the major players in the
next 3 books. I want to get a couple Daytona Dae stories out, then
probably the next 3 OB books out, before switching to my next project.
(Bringing us to OB5 before I leave for another project.)
Next Project: After Outer Bounds, it'll be ZERO. It's time I unfuck that series after butchering it so thoroughly a couple years back. I COULD have published all four books at the same time, BOOM, and moved on. But oh, noooooo, Sara had to TINKER... Sigh. I'll fix it. Promise.
After ZERO, it's probably another Alaska book. Maybe a couple of these. I have a bunch of fun stuff planned for that world, but just haven't had enough time to write it lately.
After the Alaska book, we're looking at ironing out the rest of the Form and Function series. Now THAT one is going to blow you guys away, when I finally get them all out. Now the pain's gone, I'm hoping I can just whip them out.
Next project: After Form and Function is finally complete, I want to finish Millennium Potion. I love Stuey and his people. I wanna write them their happy ending. :)
After that, To the Princess Bound might get a sister book, but it's necessarily at the bottom of my list because the fans of my more popular series would eviscerate me for letting it jump the queue. (I think it has what, 7 fans? Lol.)
I can't guarantee dates on delivery for any of these (I've long ago stopped trying to do dates--my Muse always says F-U to them, anyway), but I'll do my best to get them done as swiftly as I can. Anything I missed??
