I've been writing

Honestly, I have.
Loads of stuff.
I'm currently working on several projects at once.
The copy edits for Ondine - The Summer of Shambles will be lobbing into the email intray any day now.
I have finished the first draft of Ondine - The Autumn Palace
I am working on the first draft of a completely unrelated novel about three teenagers lost in a parallel world.
The edits for the next Romance Spinners Anthology will be arriving any day now as well.

And I'm doing the weekly website updates
 for a groovy TV show called Mercurio's Menu.


Why do I have so many things on the go?
It stops me from going mad.

When I finish my time travel novel, I'll send it to the bottom drawer for a while.
Then I'll work on the next draft of the second Ondine novel.
Then (if it's ready) I'll send the second Ondine novel to the publisher.
Then I'll go mad wondering what they think of it and oh dear it's a disaster isn't it, it's nothing like you thought it would be and please find a nice way to tell me it's utter crap.
However, if I have lots of other projects to get stuck into right away, this paranoia will only last a couple of days before I'm playing with my other group of imaginary friends.

It works for me. Pretty productive too.
