My dilemma -
I've been plotting Book 2 (tentatively title, The Changelings), but I'm not getting excited about it. I've got a bunch of ideas I like, and I like what I've written so far, but the passion is missing. This usually means something is wrong.

Keffy asked me what I'm doing for Nano this year. I admit, I was hoping to do Book 3 in the Hellborn series. I figured that this month, I'd have enough of Book 2 plotted and written that I could make a rough draft of 3 in November. I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen. Maybe if Nano were in December, rather than November. But it's not.

I want to do something in The Big World, so I don't have to do a lot of worldbuilding. I don't want to rewrite the six-book Vittore/Oxana/Juri, etc. cycle, and I can't write anything that takes place afterwards, since I'm not sure what the world will be like after the events I still haven't written. Oh, maybe I can write the War of Trials! (the so far untouched Book 5) That would rock, and I think I've got enough info to do it.

Anyway... I was going to write Green Night by the River (aka Morya's backstory) because I thought about it and got excited. Too excited. I want to write it now. And I guess I can.

Which leaves me at (In The Big World)
