The Great Upstream Writer Countdown

 

No, it's not the final countdown... but I am counting down to something..... So I decided to include all of the other things with it.... 

So, for those of you who wonder what exactly it is I am up to these days; for those who are new to my blog and aren't really sure what in the world is going on here; for those who just want to see practically everything I have on this blog, all linked to one post...

 

This is for you. Thanks for following this blog. I would go higher, but that might take too long...

Starting with:

11

10  

books planned in the ReBible series in all (so far....) four of which I must think about overhauling and preparing to rewrite them completely come NaNoWriMo (normally known as November)

9 

stories excerpted (including short stories posted) on this blog: Merely Meredith, A Writer's Tale, Protective Custody, The Last Inkweaver, The Telmar Trilogy, Cipherstalker, My Father's Business, Misfortune Cookie, The Fairy Godfather

8 

print books (and 1 ebook) on my Summer Reading List: in addition to the library books, I have two books I received for free as door prizes at two different events: Somewhere Safe with Somebody Good (by Jan Karon) and Embittered Ruby (by Nicole O'Dell)

7 

more days left of school (which is my job)

6 

ebooks to read over the course of the summer: Sky Knight (by Sandra Harvey), Rising Suns (by Jeffrey Cook), Floor 21 (by Jason Luthor), Foul is Fair (by Jeffrey Cook and Katherine Perkins), Burn Our Houses Down (by Kelsey Garmendia), Out Of Darkness Rising (by Gillian Adams)

5 

library checkouts to read and finish over the summer: The Magician (by Michael Scott), Outlander (by Diana Gabaldon), The Sum of All Fears (by Tom Clancy), Firefight (by Brandon Sanderson), Code (by Kathy and Brendan Reichs)

4 

Fanfics waiting to be written or finished, and they all happen to be Supernatural fanfics: "An Embarrassment of Witches" (dealing with events from this current season), "Angels Take Milwaukee" (a Supernatural/Doctor Who crossover), "A Midsummer's Nightmare" (because a Supernatural twist on a Shakespeare comedy was just too good to pass up!) and "Betty and the Beast" (mostly because I think the Northwest is best, so Leavenworth, Wa seemed like a fantastic location for a mystery)

3
 novel projects started and abandoned in the editing stages: Laurel of Andar, Fairies Under Glass/ Return to Phantasm, and A Writer's Tale: Extended Series

2 

Works in Progress: "The Last Inkweaver", an original fantasy novel, needs only one more chapter; also a story based on a fanfiction I wrote with a completely original plot that will become the screenplay for a small web series produced by a friend of mine... Which apparently cannot even start until I finish the story, so that's a thing...

 

And finally.... the moment of truth....
