I'm convinced my brain has been taken over by the spirits of dead novelists. Whether they were successful in their previous lives is unknown, but I can say without a doubt they were RELENTLESS! 

What do I mean?

I've been wanting to do a side story for Lieutenant Cheng from "Xièzhì." 

Then, I wanted to expand on "Cultivating Lilies" by making it into a detective series with Nari working for JiHo's investigative team, maybe being partners in their own private business. 

I wanted to write a side story for two characters in "The Tale of The Butterfly and The Crane." 

I have another Korean style story I've already started and is more on the mature side. 

There was a three part saga I started in 1995 and finished a few years ago. I wanted to polish it up and publish it here, but I haven't been able to get motivated to do so. I think because I've looked at it for 27 years and I'm just kind of burned out on it, to be honest. 

I have a lot of poems and prose I wanted to upload as a collection. 

And now ... 

Well, I want to make a crossover with "Raven & Fox" and "A Moon For The Mountain." I still have to finish Part 2 for "A Moon For The Mountain," and I'm already plotting a crossover. 

I've taken a break after writing Garson's backstory for Part 2. I'm hoping to get back to it by Friday so I can work on Evie's backstory. I want to publish Part 2 as soon as Part 1 ends in August. 

By the way, have you found the hidden easter eggs in "A Moon For The Mountain"? I will give you a hint to one: There is a reference to something in "The Tale of The Butterfly and The Crane."

As much as I absolutely adore writing, I hope the new ideas can take their own hiatus for a bit so I can catch up. 

Do you hear that, spirits? I appreciate the help but can we stop with the new projects and work on what we have now? 

(This is me losing my mind.)
