I need your help. It’s fun, I promise.

\nI have some very hard decisions to make in the next weeks, harder than the ones I made last year at this time. Harder than the ones I made in the spring. They are taking up a huge part of my brain and are draining my creative energy right now. <\/p>\n

Not that it needed draining – as you can tell from my stats page, I’ve been less than busy this year with the writing. In fact, I failed NaNo completely this year, for the first time since 2005, I quit before I really started. There was just too much going on, elsewhere.<\/p>\n

\"\"Just for freaking fun – and because you all always give me the best advice (yes, really) – I’m going to let you pick the project I work on, and finish, next year. You are all allowed to flog me electronically if I fail.<\/p>\n

Here are the choices – some with previews, others not so much.<\/p>\n

Eternity:<\/strong> the ever-expanding erotic romance between a human with a fae soul, and her fae lover. The first was Fire & Ice<\/em><\/a>, and it was meant to be a series. While I was editing what was already written, I tossed a lot of it out. I’m hoping to have part two up on the 31st as with Fire & Ice last year. And then of course, work on the other four parts over the course of the year…<\/p>\n

1 For Sorrow:<\/strong> The first in the already-outlined but not completely fleshed out Jack Dawes series. Paranormal\/thriller\/bounty-hunter\/ish. I have an excerpt posted here<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

New Bedlam:<\/strong> A flashback\/memory\/present day sort of feel, with residents of the cursed and crazed town of New Bedlam featuring. Of course, Jack & Shay from the Jack Dawes series come along eventually… I thought I had a preview posted, but I don’t. Well, I did – I posted a snippet in The New Bedlam Project when it was a webzine.<\/p>\n

Into the Mirror:<\/strong> Shay Maclean’s connection to New Bedlam explored fully. Events take place after 1 For Sorrow and New Bedlam. Excerpt posted here<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Short story collection:<\/strong> Kinda self-explanatory, that. I have numerous short stories – some previously pubbed, others not, all have been accepted elsewhere and either rights have reverted or been returned to me – and while I am not a well-known author, I haven’t even been published all that much, really, I think I’d like to self-pub these. I’m just tired of the sub\/reject\/sub\/accept\/revert\/return race. Too many failed starts and I’m really just not up for it. <\/p>\n

And there you have it. What will Jodi Lee be doing next year? Besides the obvious day-to-day stuff…<\/p>\n
