I've just finished the first draft of a fantasy novel that'll probably never sell. I haven't got even a working title for it, and have no idea how to make a blurb that sounds remotely interesting. It starts with orcs and goblins kidnapping a princess, and is in some ways more of a western. Sort of a fantasy Wild Bunch.
Also in progress:
• An idea for a short story/novelette that I'm trying to break down to see if it'll work;
• Preparations to finish off the Tales of the Thief-City series of short stories, probably using NaNoWriMo to force me to write them. There are seven move planned, two of them written but not to my satisfaction, and I'd really like to get them done;
• Making notes for the sequel(s) to Grey Enigmas. More closely following it than it followed Grey Engines, keeping the same characters. Grey Engines came from a short story whose ideas kept growing, which kept growing into Grey Enigmas, and shows no signs of slowing down; and
• Having further ideas on the third book in the Glyphpunk series. I have a rough idea of the story, it's simply a matter of finding the time to hammer it into shape (and to see whether the central idea will actually work, since it might change the nature of the story).
