WiP Wednesday

Okay, I admit I've been slacking off a bit this week... not really, it's just been super hectic with school and other personal stuff I've been dealing with, that I haven't had that much time to devote to writing. I do realise that I need to kick my butt into gear though so I can keep my deadline and finish my first draft of the sequel to Shadow Embraced by the end of the month.

I have had a lot of my other ideas pushing to be heard though and I'm anxious to get started reworking with some of those ideas. The only problem I'm facing is that I have so many different projects and so many different ideas that I really need to decide which project is going to take priority when I get to that 'next' project. I've got my horror, my Japanese mystery, my superhero or my paranormal romance... mmm, so many different ones to choose from. I think I'll probably just put all options in a hat and let it be by luck of the draw (or whatever takes my fancy at the end of the month).

So, that's my week. My question is, how do you decide what project to work on next if you have several ideas brewing?

School holidays are definitely over and that means I'm struggling to find the time to write - again, but I've made a commitment that I'm going to write so many words a week and I'm going to stick to that.

I'm still working on the sequel to Shadow Embraced and I'm already seeing big holes in the plot that I'll have to come back to in the revisions (especially for characters that have chosen to not even make an appearance in the first half of the story). I have officially hit the halfway point and things are starting to unravel nicely.

So, that's my progress this week. What's your WiP been like?

This week I thought I'd be able to get a lot of writing done, with it being school holidays and all. Well, that hasn't happened. I have been slowly writing the sequel to Shadow Embraced. I did actually learn that it's not the best thing to watch heartfelt dramas while trying to write violent fight scenes though (my characters wanted to stand around staring at each other).

Instead of writing I've been quite busy with finalising the formatting and proofing of Shadow Embraced so that it is ready for it's big debut on Monday.

Next week, even though school does return, I plan to get more writing done. I really need to get the sequel written so I can work on one of the other ideas that are really nagging me to be written at the moment. One thing I can conclude: I really need to be more organised!

So, how's your writing going this week? If you don't write, what have you been up to?
