…as I’m not writing a novel :(
Yes, sorry if anybody out there was waiting on book four of the Limbus Pentalogy. It’s not happening. I have an outline of all the chapters and general plot. I even have some snazzy prompting pics up on my cork board who are giving me sad eyes as I studiously try to avoid their admonishing gaze.
The fact of the matter was that my heart was in the right place but my brain wasn’t. It had gone off at a tangent, as per usual and was filling itself up with brand new ideas that had nothing whatsoever to do with Limbus. It’s a bit annoying, my brain. Once it gets hold of something like that I don’t really have any choice but to feed it what it needs and forgo anything else.
So Limbus and NaNoWriMo is on an indefinite hiatus. If I ever get some sort of response from the many pleas I’ve made to literary agents over the last couple of years then I will definitely come back to it but for now…no.
In the meantime, writing is continuing at a huge pace but in a totally different direction. I’m doing a multitude of planning and worldbuilding for a planet called Thera, with a mind to designing a role playing game based there. I can’t say any more than that at the moment, because there is a SERIOUS amount of work involved in designing this and it probably won’t take any real shape as a playable game until well into 2022…but it is going pretty well at the moment and I’m very happy with the concept. No ghosts in this one…way worse than that!!!
So, hopefully I’ll have something going before the Earth reaches it’s expected heat death. Fantasy is definitely the place everyone would rather live in these days. My weekly DnD campaign has just hit episode 45, which means over 140 hours! It’s crazy to think we can stretch it this far and still only be just under halfway through! With a bit of luck I hope we make it to 100 sessions by Xmas next year.
I’ve also not forgottten about music…still plinking and plonking away on ideas that will hopefully surface in some form or other in 2022.
So it’s all still pretty busy inside my aching head and if I find a moment to show you what’s next then I will. For now, I’m concentrating in fleshing out this new world as much as I can whilst wishing the year away to Xmas and all the food and alcohol it brings whilst simultaneously quietly salivating over that new Boba Fett show.
Hope to see you soon folks! Here’s what WAS going to happen in my plans for Book Four anyway, before I take them and their accusing stares down…ciao!
