A cunning change of plan, maybe! Options

[Imogen]

I might be rethinking what I'm writing about in November. The hubby pointed out that I've got a novel planned out already and wouldn't it make more sense to write that?

Gah! I hate it when he talks sense!

So, what I *might* do is write the Millie and Gregor prequel to the Elenarda series. This is stemming back to when Great Aunt Millie (as we see her in 'The Crimson Dawn') was a young girl and what happens when she breaks through into Elenarda.

I know Becky will appreciate it, because Gregor is part-elf, and it's something I've had on the back boiler for a while. Suppose I'd better get researching 1940s England a bit. Millie would have been a teenager through the war years, and although I know bits it's not a period of history I've ever studied.

Anyone know anything?

Don't know if you've considered this, but keep in mind:

Question: I keep running into online writer's forums, filled with people who have uploaded stories to the web, but never published. Does anyone ever get discovered this way? OSC Replies: I don't think so. Or if they do, there's more to the story than that -- somebody had to recommend it to somebody else. The web is big, and few people who have any clout (i.e., publishers or editors) can afford time to go browsing stories that WEREN'T submitted to them. Furthermore, if you put your story up on the web, that constitutes first publication. You can't then sell "first rights" to anybody, and first rights are usually all that anyone is willing to buy. Just a thought. The only reason to upload a story on the web is if you're in a writing group online, and it's part of the commentary process. But to upload it for the general public, hoping to find readers -- that's publication.
