Another “The End” Reached. What Do I Do Now?

After I reach “the end” of a project, it’s time to work on the next.

I just finished writing the first novel in my new Savagespace sci-fi saga. There are 6 total novels plotted for this series. With Alliances done, there are 5 more to go.

Not counting my non-fiction — this is my 16th finished novel. While 12 have been published — 2 are now waiting to be sent to an editor, Alliances needs an edit by me, and the second Vapor Rogues novel has been done for a while — I just haven’t edited it myself (and, frankly, Clouds of Authority needs a new cover and some other restructuring).

There are multiple choices for what I could do next. I need to edit Alliances. But I also need to work out how to get the last Void Incursion novel, Check and Mate, and the third Source Chronicles novel, Harbinger, to an editor. Both need cover art, too.

By no means am I done writing. I have 5 more Savagespace novels to go, and I planned a new 4-book arc for Forgotten Fodder (and have ideas for another arc or two after that). Of course, I have 2 more Source Chronicles novels to write and might want to continue the Vapor Rogues, too.

Since “the end” is not the end — there are choices and decisions to make for what comes next.
