Don’t you hate it when you have an epiphany and then the next day you can’t remember what it was? I know I made some important neural pathways yesterday, but all I can do is trust they’ll kick in when I need them.

Despite my grogginess yesterday, I did have a pretty good writing day. I’m ready to be finished with this project so I can start on the next. Not sure what that will be yet, but I do have a few ideas which have been inside my head for a while and want to get outside:

• A middle grade or young adult book about orphans who go to live with their hoarding aunt, make a network of tunnels through her mountains of stuff, find treasure and have adventures (tentative title, Catacombia).
• A medieval fantasy about twin girls separated at birth, one of whom is adopted by an innkeeper and learns that her sister has been raised to be the dragon’s next sacrificial victim

I’d also like to finish a middle-grade that I started with my daughter several years ago–it’s about halfway finished–and I’d really like to revisit the Ea’s Gift world. That wouldn’t be wise, I guess, since it hasn’t sold yet. Better to spend my time on new things.

Have you had any new ideas lately? Care to share? I won’t steal them, promise.
