Lounging in Limbo: Between Writing Projects

I sat down the other night at my laptop and thought, ‘Time to write.’

It took a second before I realized I didn’t have anything to work on. There was a minute pause wherein I was confused, a little disappointed, but then overwhelming happiness burst through and I ran away to goof off.

Having finished work for now on that other project I just edited, there’s little to be done in Camp Robyn. Well, I say that knowing I could immediately start into another project if I wanted. There’s always SOMETHING to be written. However I’m a staunch believer in a palate cleanser between projects.

As a cadet novelist, my “projects” are largely 50K+ words, so as a palate cleanser I tend to do a short story or some other side project. So that’s what I plan on turning my attention to in the time it takes my agent to go over this new novel. Will I be able to sell the short story? Who knows. I still have two in backlog that need to be sent out more aggressively, which is a whole other story.

In the interim where I’m not noveling, I’ll be working on said short story and I plan on doing a series of posts about some short story assistance ranging from writing to actually getting them published. I often ask questions on my Instagram story to see what the people would like to see and so far I have a queued ask for help on making human characters, which will be coming up.
