Too Many Stories!

I finally got around to posting new chapters of Call My Name and The Dragon's Jewel. I'm currently one page into the next chapter of the former and doing minor edits on the latter. I've set aside my Sarat updates for the time being. There's just not enough focus. I really love those stories and that universe, but I've discovered that I need to be 100% focused on it to make any progress. I'm not sure when I'll get back to it, but as always I have a ton of notes to help get me back in the groove.

I'm kind of torn about where I want to focus my attention right now. Its the curse of having too many ideas in a tiny brain. A majority of it will stay in the RE universe until I'm further along there. I have outlines and ideas for that story; its just a matter of wording everything correctly. I have a couple of chapters for my Haunting Ground story and the Persona oneshots, half a oneshot for my Prince of Persia series, one and a half oneshots for the Deadly Premonition universe and New Kingdoms looming over me. For right now, the rest of my attention is with Persona, but only because I've been playing the fourth game and researching the third one. I'm familiar with the first two (including both Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment), but I'm not entirely comfortable writing about those characters yet. I guess we'll see what happens.

I think my real confusion is that I don't want to post another story without having the majority of it written. I fell behind with Call My Name and now I'm struggling with it. The DP oneshots don't worry me because I have enough to keep my interest when I'm having trouble with my other stories (that's how the first two were written, in between chapters for my other works). Both the Haunting Ground story and New Kingdoms require research and checking some terminology, so progress there is slow. PoP is stuck until I start another run-through of the game. So that leaves the Persona stories. My fear there is that I'll get three, maybe four stories posted and then become distracted as usual. This isn't a oneshot collection where the number of stories is irrelevant. The number needs to match the arcana.

Hmph, this makes my head hurt. I guess I'll keep going with my RE story and see what I end up doing for the rest of my stuff. Whatever takes my attention will be next, I guess. The worst part is that I have about 10 other folders with story ideas related to fanfiction, and I could pick up one of those at any moment. Ugh. Its one thing to have a creative writing streak in you...its another thing when you can't control its flow.

At any rate, look for more regular updates with Call My Name and The Dragon's Jewel. In all likelihood, another story will be posted once I'm done with Dragon. And now I need to lie down. I think I have stories leaking from my ears...
