A Wild Ride

Yeah, 2013, you certainly are planning on being IN-TER-esting, aren't you?
First, there's a lovely review of Archangel Protocol (e-book) by Joanne Hall on her blog "Making Things Up For a Living," http://hierath.wordpress.com/2013/01/09/book-review-archangel-protocol-by-lyda-morehouse/
In other news, it does appear that 2013 is going to be "The Year Lyda Does ALL THE THINGS." I've got a lot of things in the hopper all of a sudden, none of them sure-things, but all of them ridiculously exciting. I don't mean to be one of those people who is super-cryptic about 'seekrit projects,' so I WILL say that I have some interest from editors for a couple of the proposals that have been sent out to various publishing houses. TWO completely differnet editors looking for sample chapters FOR TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BOOKS. So this means I'm going to be doing a lot of writing on books that may-or-may-not ever see the light of day. However, that DOES really seem to be the trend (to have something in-hand), especially when you're in the boat I'm in, which is to say, where I'm potentially switching publishing houses (and yes, that means I haven't ruled out the possiblity of sticking with Penguin, should I come up with something they might be interested in.)
So, I'm going to be head-down over a lot of POTENTIAL these next few months. Proposals going to the old publisher and sample chapters going out into the world for new editors!
I feel like those guys from BAKUMAN all of a sudden! Hopefully, I won't end up in the hospital from exhaustion (though if I do, I hope I'm writing while recovering!)
As one (or rather several) sure thing projects for 2013, I'm also signed up to be in the Loft's catalogue for the Teen Summer Program for two potential classes. The first will be a somewhat straight-forward science-fiction/fantasy class called, "Beyond the Zombie Apocalypse: Writing SF/F For Teens," and second (which I'm super-excited about becaus it may be the only one of its kind) called, "ALL THE FEELS: Fan Fic 101" a how-to class for fan fiction writers. I've also gotten a proposal accepted for an on-line class for SF/F writers in the intermediate stage of their career called "Over the Transom," which will be a six week class.
I'm also considering offering a class on how to write slash for adults. That one is in the idea stage only, though I do possibly have some people willing to host me as a teacher.
Wow, right? It's crazy around chez Morehouse right now. But crazy in a GOOD way.
