And then just like that, like a puppet with her strings cut, suddenly I'm exhausted.

I don't mind so much. It's been a productive day! One story finally finished, edited, smoothed out and posted, and another story finished and posted actually on time, for once. And then in the interests of vaguely keeping to a schedule as far as the whole self-publishing thing goes I worked some on my outline for Triumvirate.

It's funny; I don't write sci-fi very easily or by preference. I'm more than happy to read it, and I should do more of reading it (anyone have any good sci-fi books to recommend?) since I'm planning on at least sort of writing it pretty soon, but I don't write it very easily. Maybe that's because it's been a while since I've actually read any amount of it, and what I've consistently read a lot of is urban fantasy and mystery, with fantasy a close second. Or maybe it's the sheer amount of research involved. I have books on my Skull (as opposed to the skull I keep my rings in, this is Bob the Skull) like Bioinformatics for Dummies, even for me and even for dummies that's rough reading. I picked up that and some other books for purposes of Sci-Fi Big Bang.

I feel like I should write more, but I have no idea where to start, and I don't want to write more sprawling epics. And no, this isn't in the sense of I feel I should write more because I want to be a This kind of writer, just that I feel like there are stories in my head that are science fiction and I can't tell them right now. Do you know how irritating that is? (I'm sure a lot of you do.)

And no, no one should feel they have to write a certain kind of story because they want to be a certain kind of writer. They should feel they have to write a story because that's the story that's in there kicking at the brainpan to get out. Otherwise we'd have a lot of very miserable writers, and no one wants that. Not for that easily fixable reason anyway.

Tomorrow, oof, I still have so many things I want to get done this week. Tomorrow, I guess, will be outlining and finishing up that process in Black Ice so that that is done. It's almost finished anyway. And then some more padding out on Triumvirate to get at least to the middle section, and Long Road in the evening, assuming work is as not-busy as it was today. If not, then just the outlining that I can get done during the day and working on Long Road for a couple hours tonight, with breaks for outlining. I don't think I have any more fanfic to do, but I should poke the NYR prompts spreadsheet anyway.
