Reading Sword of Orion

[kinzel]

I'm going through the re-draft, which is long enough to be a novel, to see if it reads like a novel now. With this short a book I feel like I was just getting to know the chracters...

Four or more inches of snow due tomorrow, and a trip to the dentist.

And soon we'll need to figure out what we'll write aftr Crystal Dragon. Still no contracts in house.

what to do next

Why don't you pick up where you left off at the end of I Dare. We still don't know what the problems Daav's Daughter had that brought her to Liad.

I've read Dancing and like it but now Inquiring minds want to know.

The other option is to Write the next book in (what I hope will become a Trilogy) the Balance of Trade era.

Well I hope that gives you somthing to think over.

We *know* several things that we want to write, but at this point the house runs on writing, so we've got to have a paying gig fairly soon -- as in contract and advance -- or we have to punt. I'd hate to go back to reporting local news full-time....sigh.

We (that Rolanni and I in combination with our agent) have several proposals out, and we're due to talk to Meisha Merlin's mangement at ShevaCon, but as they're in transition with the new distributor we're not sure they're able to go for the kind of multi-book contract we'd like to see. In some ways, our time is not our own!
