I’m putting Djinn on the back burner for now. Other things are going to have to get done first. I have sample chapters to put together for project A, sample chapters and an outline for project B, the second half of MLH to write so that it’s done 3 months ahead of the publishing date, and Jane’s Addiction to shove out the door. Djinn isn’t date sensitive, but everything else is. So…time to do the project shuffle.

One trick for keeping my output at the highest level is to work on more than one thing at a time. I work on project A for so many words, find myself at a stop. I can then do the same number of words on project B. This only works to a point; when I hit that point with a story I concentrate on it and nothing else until it’s finished. But for the early stages of projects A and B it should help me move along.
