I have a long-term project, a single-author themed collection of magic-user stories. I call it Makers of Magic. The plan is to include 13 stories, each about a different kind of magic user.
I just checked and updated the spreadsheet that I use to track progress on this project. I’ve sold six out of the thirteen stories, and the latest that the rights revert is at the end of April next year (which means that the collection won’t come out before May 2017 at the earliest).
Two more are on submission currently, three are waiting for rewrites, one is in progress, and the final one is incomplete (meaning I’ve written up to the middle and haven’t thought of an ending yet).
I’m finding it motivational to work towards this collection. And since two of the stories have turned out a lot longer than I expected, it’ll be a decent length (in excess of 60,000 words). I’ll keep you posted.
