I’m working on another short story. Yes, I’m using the new Default that I mentioned on Wyrmflight. This is actually a big relief. (The story, not the Default.)

When I complete a novel, I usually have a new project in mind. If I don’t, then I get this low grade panic that I have no more stories to tell. That my career is over.

It might have been stronger when finishing up The Tale of the Drakanox, because this novel ends a series I’ve been working on since 2018. During that time, the next project was always another Minstrels of Skaythe novella.

Now the whole series is in the bag. What am I to do with myself?

That’s why it’s such a relief to have new stories pop up. The latest one is an idea I’ve had for a while, but I didn’t focus on it because of Minstrels. The previous two were totally new. I’m more of a novelist, so I’m reading through my journal of ideas and seeing if anything is substantial enough. Or if Wolfsinger decides to reprint The Grimhold Wolf, I can ask her if she wants a sequel to that. We shall see.

Anyway, I guess my career isn’t so over as I feared.
