List of partial stories

I can do this

I’m looking over the stories I have on my computer:

1. Tolly and Glorina, part 1. Nearly complete, but might need more editing than I thought to bring it to a publishing point.

2. Tolly and Glorina, part 2. Good up to a certain point, then hydras until it comes back together again. I have to take a machete and weed out the extraneous scenes. Like the story doesn’t really need a baptismal scene.

3. An and Mattan. Nearly complete, I think. I haven’t looked at it in years.

4. Mattan and Clarisa (or possibly Klarisa). Fragments, I’ve got the arc in my head, but only small scenes written.

5. Princess Janomi (A lot less than I thought)

And looking over what I have in my notebooks (via a spreadsheet that hasn’t been updated in a few years:

1. The Unicorn Children (I think I started that one about 4 times, but never went too far in it).

2. The Return of the Unicorns (Not too much into that one either, but enough to have several characters mad at me these decades later.)

3. Tolly death

4. Tolly Glorina in prison

5. Queen Teli and her wolf

6. Telzi’s story

Really, considering all the years I’ve been wanting to write, there should be a lot more almost-finished stories. I thought I had more started.

At the present, I need to get serious again.

Which means more time writing, or at least typing, and less playing around on Substack and Facebook, and other time-wasting things. And more time reading and listening to good music.

Maybe now that I’m at the latter quarter of my 50s I’ll actually be able to make my writing stick.
