When does a hobby become an obsession?
Okay, for working on my own for Section 51, I have quite a bit going on:
- Novel 1 (“The Empty City”) – now on a second revision/rewrite
- Short Story 1 (“Salazar”) – on a bit of a break before editing
- Novel 2 (unnamed) – a few chapters into the first writing
- Music – a few GarageBand songs written as a bit of inspiration, plus some new background music for the TEC ad I showed you earlier
- This blog
And that doesn’t count the “Salazar” ad I’m starting to think about or the cover art I still need to design.
I don’t really mind the fact I have so much going on with Section 51, since it allows me to be creative in several different avenues, but it certainly makes it a bit harder to get the next draft of TEC done.
On the plus side, I’ve added to the length. Earlier, I mentioned I was worried about the story being around 9,000 words, making it an awfully short novel. Now, with quite a bit of revision still to go, I’m up to more than 15,000 words, and the story is more colorful. And when you add in the 8,500 words of “Salazar,” I think the first book will be pretty satisfying.
