I'm just not cut out for the whole blogging scene. Given how much time I spend posting on the WotC boards, it ought to be easy - and yet here I am, surprising everyone if I post more than once a month.
Part of the problem is that most of the things I'm working on, as interesting as they are, are either sealed away under NDA or so far off that there's not much to say. For example, I'm getting started on my fifth Eberron novel... but given that I'm still unable to so much as mention the name of the fourth novel (due out Q4 '08, if all goes according to plan), I can't let you in on all the big plans I have for #5. But for what it's worth, I'M excited about it.
I'm working on a few projects at the moment, and it may be that at this point it's safe to talk about some of them - I will check in with my mysterious overlords. I'd also like to talk about City of Stormreach, especially as I've finally had the opportunity to play Dungeons & Dragons Online - I'll post my comparison of the two visions of Stormreach in my next entry. However, for the moment, I mainly wanted to touch on travel. A few weeks back someone asked if I was going to Genghis Con - before that, Alanna wanted to know if I was going to be at the D&D Experience. I'm embarassed to have missed Genghis because it's a 30 minute drive away, but I've been doing some tinkering with one of my projects and when I get caught up in something, it's hard to let go.
As for D&D XP, at the moment I'm not going to be there. I wasn't invited as a guest, which doesn't surprise me - the big focus this year will be 4th Edition, and with 4E Eberron not coming out for at least a year, I really don't bring much to the table. I talked to the RPGA about showing up and running some games, but they aren't doing any DM's Mark slots this year, so if I showed up I'd have to run someone else's game - and as much as I admire the work of the Xen'drik Expeditions crew, if I'm going to make the trip, I'd want to run something of my own. Given that I do know people in the area, I've considered just showing up, running some pick-up games, and visiting people... but between last-minute airfares and having to figure out crash space, I'm leaning towards another weekend working at home. So at the moment, Penguicon is the next convention I'm sure to be attending.
Next up: Stormreach!
