Now that I actually have some free time at last I'm trying to decide which project gets the benefit. I was hoping to get further with the fun ghost story I was writing a month or two ago, but the publisher I was writing it for specially seems to have gone out of business in the last month which is a real shame. As I'm not certain of finding another suitable market for it, it's kind of taken the shine off finishing it.
I'd also love to get going on 'Give Me to Drink Mandragora', a slightly more mainstream novel about choices and the sacrifices we make for our loved ones, with a view to perhaps submitting to Tindal Street Press. They're an indie publisher here in the UK who specialise in contemporary novels set outside of London and have a very good name. Only trouble is, I really need a decent sub-plot in order to make this a novel rather than a longish short story and at the moment I'm coming up blank. Will have to talk to my plot bunnies and see what I can come up with that will fit the scenario without sounding too contrived.
