Instead of three stories, I need to come up with two. I think I can whip them out pretty quickly given the chance and non-distraction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The plan is to have <em>Grimaulkin Collected<\/em> out in June. I want to do something with <em>Yellowtree<\/em>, but the state that it&#8217;s in right now is horrible. After tearing it apart, I noticed my issues, and I can&#8217;t seem to see beyond them to change the story. I love the title &#8220;Yellowtree&#8221; and the concept of using fey this time around. But after that&#8230;I have no idea what to do with it. I&#8217;m trying to let go of the wreck I wrote, but I can&#8217;t seem to think outside of the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve been reading non-fiction these past few months, mostly about chaos magic and esoteric studies. I read a couple of male erotica stories while in the hospital and found they filled the well for Maxwell. I tried to read a few other urban fantasy stories, picking up boxed sets, but they were garbage and disappointing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m tempted to write another novel with Mike and his apprentice Ash. I just need to come up with a reason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I started writing again.
