Where to from here?

I'm going to turn this site into my "central hub" of sorts for all my myriad projects and hobbies. So I'm posting this here, instead of on one of my creative writing blogs.

So, as the title suggests, where to from here?

For this site

This will continue to be my place for all things gaming and generally geek. I've got a few more new D&D PCs that I need to post here and a few old ones to revise. Adventurer League play has been good to me and a lot of folks have gotten a lot of experience. That means updates.

Plus I may do a summary of the Star Trek Adventures campaign so far. Not really a creative writing exercise as I'm not planning to write it as a story, but sort of a play-by-play of what happened each session.

For my creative writing

If you're following my New Years Resolution, you know I've dedicated myself to doing one of two things each day. 1) Writing two new pages of content on some story I'm working on. And 2) Publishing two pages of material from old writing that remains unpublished on a blog.

The only stuff that really remains unfinished in terms of publication is the rest of Star Sword Shattered, the second BattleTech-based novel I wrote back in college. So option #2 will run out in the next few weeks.

That leaves option #1. Here's a short list of stories I've got rattling around in my head that I could finish over the next year.

Athasen's Tomb of Annihilation quest (published here)
Philadelphia by Night 1999 (published at my Philly by Night blog)
Star Swords novel #3 (will be published at Star Swords Command)
The sequel short story to Birth of a Hero (also to be published at Star Swords Command)
Homecoming, an original sci-fi story and setting (published at a new blog probably)

Each of these is developed to a certain point and how far along each of these stories is will probably determine which gets priority. Philly by Night and Star Swords are both around 2/3 completed, so they'll probably get some focus. The sequel to Birth of a Hero is going to be another 20 page or so short story, so it'll be a quick write. Homecoming and Athasen are probably going to get the short straw, given they are in their infancy in terms of development.

So that's my plan. Finish Philly by Night and Star Swords (the latter is LONG overdue. I started writing it in 2005 or so). Toss in Birth of a Hero's sequel. Work on Athasen or Homecoming once the others are done.

Enjoy.
