Why I need a clone...

Writing novels is work. It takes time, effort, energy. Investment. I was glancing at my backlog of stuff while reading the authonomy faq and realized just how much stuff I still have to fix or finish. In no particular order ...

Rites of Exorcism, which in my head was going to be 3-4 books long. Various drafts of books 1  and a couple starting book 2 exist. (There's also the half-finished second draft of book 0, which is pure back story now.) My attempted redo of it last year hit 30K in total as an exit/rewrite so I probably need to take a long, hard look at it again and restart the first draft from scratch as I have to change a few characters up a fair bit.

Dogs of War is a plotted-out YA trilogy. Two drafts of book 1 exist, a small part of book 2 and the whole thing was plotted out from the get-go. It stalled out because I felt I was falling into typical traps (my personal tropes used in a story) and needs more fleshing out before I delve back into it.

Boy & Fox. This is, probably, my favourite story if only because it is so unlike most everything else I work on. It is also, bar none, the hardest to write. The first ~10 pages are done. I even have the ending done in my head. But the bridge between them keeps falling apart each time I write it. Something is missing, and later this year I'll need to write out a detailed plot structure and figure out what it is. Mostly because doing that while writing the story is a recipe for insanity. Which is what I was doing before.

Adventures of the Miskatonic Elemental School Kids. My definitely a comedy story. Probably my favourite piece, next to Boy & Fox, for much the same reason.

Ghoulish Series. Aka what I am working on now. I will probably finish book 2, do basic edits to book 1 and work on one of the above while considering book 3. At least, that is the plan ....
