Next Project

jhameiaI'll be working on editing Sugar Melts on the way home, or I may wait for comments from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
caitlin_chan and tariq_kamal (they're both very different reading audiences. Caitlin is slightly more familiar with my writing, Tariq knows the geography I'm talking about. Kinda. LoL) before editing, and I know the first six chapters, I'm going to edit the shit out of them. Re-write them, even. Anyway, no matter what, I should still think about my next project, because I'm going to go squirrely if I don't have something on the go next. I have a short fiction that needs to be typed, and the Steampunk Magazine essay on race (which is so hard to write because I end up ranting so much). But I'm talking next novel-length story.
I miss writing Princess Jussy, but her stories never come to me to warrant novel-length. I mean, pulp-fiction stuff around 30k words at most, but even then, not really. So much fun to write though. Maybe I'll just write them for fun and throw them on a site for free. I would like to write more Amara and Omi, but it feels like I can't get their stories out before Jussy's. Although I do have a great hunting story of them before they got into piracy percolating in my brain.
I really want to write a Charity Bright story. She never took off in RP, but I love her. I love the concept of her. She's complete fluff, but in a good way. I've been writing some Charity stuff for a bit and I like the stuff I've come up with: a loyal daughter, a good employer, and a bit of a white-knight complex, what with the whole born-of-vampire thing she's got going for her. I want to write a story about her in which she disintegrates and then is completely distilled into the goodness that she innately is, but has to work to show. Charity has never left me. Most of my other RP characters have (the only other ones which haven't are Joline and Jakun) (although admittedly I used all my Transcendence characters for a NaNovel).
I also want to go back to my NaNo '09, but I don't think I could handle it right now. It was so painful writing it, I don't think I have the proper distance for it yet.
Decisions, decisions....
