A pestilence of books
May. 14th, 2011 08:37 pmI've been struggling to fix on a project while The Disappearance is in beta. I'm...terrible at making decisions, and aside from the Turning, which is part of The Glass Nursery, I've been vascilating wildly between my infant books. This...is entirely new for me. Even though various plot bunnies bit me while I was writing The Disappearance (hence the pestilance of infant books) The Disappearancehas always been my heart project. There was never a question of what book child came first.
Help me oh f'list. How do I decide between one book child or another? How would you pick between the book children of your heart? Book children and twinkles in the eyes below:
A Brief History of the Enkanta - 2009 Nano project, A Brief History features matriarchal, dwende, aswang, colonial vampires, and the former struggling for agency and survival in world that's no longer theirs. 45,000 words, at present and possibly requires heavy duty editing.
The Glass Nursery - another story of the clash between aswang and European vampires. On the eve of her bi-centennial, the Infata Katalina is presented with a young aswang, an addition to the Glass Nursery where she keeps and exhibits the various young of the creatures of her empire. But prisoner as she is, the aswang is not powerless or without allies, and she plots to bring down the Infanta.
The Cuckoo Child (working title)- The Ciudad de Salamin is inflicted with a strange plague of otherworldly birds. When they fly over the Ciudad in their migratory paths, half human children are born, to the consternation of the city, and methods of detection, asylums and orphanages have been established to deal with the inhuman plague. Still, other families insist on keeping their cuckoo children, shielding them and the world from their cuckoo nature with disastrous consequences.
Persephone (working title)- In the streets of Salamin, a murdered young woman wanders through the streets, her mouth sewn shut with pearl threads, and no memory of who she had been, or what she has done.
