I had this idea about doing an ongoing story on the web over the course of next year. The idea is to write between 10,000 and 20,000 words of a novel (a couple chapters), and post them to some site on the web. It's a good idea, I'm just now starting to worry about my ability to pull it off, given all my other commitments and plans and tasks and such. I have a tendancy to bite more and more till I choke on everything I'm doing. Stupid me, figure I'd learn by now.

Anyway, if the idea goes off (and I'm still pushing for it to go off), it will run under the name of "Dark Heart." It'd be based in the Warhammer 40K universe, and would be the tale of a Dark Eldar Warrior. At least, that's the plan.

On top of that, I want to get my novella finished and done (for the fourth time). Then, it's just shopping it around here and there. Hoping for it to be picked up, or rejected summarily a couple times. We'll see.

Then there's finishing the NaNoWriMo novel. It hit the 50K mark, but just started to get into the mystery (sounds very like last year, when the novel got to the mark, but was just getting going by then.... maybe I've an exposition problem). I figure there's easily another 20K or so in there, and I can reach it and get the rest out if I just get back to doing the daily writing. At least one of the rides to and from work... Shouldn't be too hard really - I know I can do it.

Plus, there's these articles. I've got to write something between 2,000 and 2,500 words for Sacred Twilight. I accepted an offer to be a staff columnist. It's a solid deal for me. I get my stuff printed, and get a good reference for other publishers. Sounds like a deal to me... if I can just write something worth reading. I've got things planned out, just need to work on them. (Anyone else noticing a trend here?)
