Status report on all those other projects

VWORP!1I don’t think I’ve allowed anyone to visit here without getting an earful of the news that I’ve written a book about Doctor Who. But what about all these other things I’ve been working on? Well, let’s go down the list…

theLogBook.com is still churning away out there in the sea, like a tropical storm that wants to become a hurricane but is satisfied with being a tropical storm. I feed new stuff to the beast every day, in the form of articles, blog entries, and forum posts. It ain’t goin’ nowhere. It’ll probably never be “big,” but I’m cool with that too.

theLogBook.com e-Zine has been significantly delayed by the mad rush to get VWORP!1 finished. I had planned on making it available in May; obviously, not gonna happen. June is more likely, possibly even July. There’ll be two more issues after this one, filling out the year, at which time I’ll look at the download stats to see if it’s worth it to press on. Honestly, the effort may be better spent on the books, which at least stand a marginal chance of making a buck or two.

WARP!1 is in progress, and has been in progress alongside VWORP!1 the whole time. I’m currently reworking the template slightly to account for some lessons learned in getting VWORP!1 ready to print.

VWORP!2 …see WARP!1, above. If it suffers any significant setbacks, blame Dinsdale.

The untitled web series project (well, it’s got a working title, but I’m open to better ideas for said title) is the real casualty of all the book activity. I had hoped to have it ready this month, but there are a lot of factors challenging that – my edit gear is still down for the count, the book really needs to be done (maybe it can pay for anything that might be needed to get the edit gear running again), and, strictly on the drawing board, the whole project is morphing into more of a multimedia beast. It may have a book attached to it too before it’s all over with. I have a finished pilot script and a second script about 78% done. I’ve got a few friends who, after seeing the skeleton outline what it’s about, went “Yeah, I’ll help out with that” – though it really needs more faces (and probably some more expertise behind the scenes as well). I really do hope to get the pilot finished by the end of 2012. You know, since the world will go “nyeeeehhhhh!” sometime this year. Oh, and it’s not a fan film of any kind, before anyone asks that. It’s not even fiction, though I wouldn’t quite class it as a documentary either.

Untitled, unbranded book started out as something tangentially attached to Phosphor Dot Fossils, until I realized that didn’t fit at all. It intersects PDF in some places, but also intersects… well… everything else I write about too: music, TV, games, toys, and so on. I finally gave up on trying to attach any kind of “brand name” to it.

Now you know what I’m writing, sometime soon I need to get some stuff off my chest about how I’m writing it – and how I’d like for that to change just a little bit. But for now, there’s the project list. No sweat, huh?
