It seems that my writing is in a holding pattern all over. To wit:

* A number of queries to agents and publishers have not yet received a response of any sort;

* A work-for-hire project is waiting for some client feedback;

* A new project, an attempt at an urban fantasy noir-type of novel, feels like it’s going nowhere fast.

That last one is particular frustrating because it’s all on me; I’m not waiting for someone else to get a move-on, I’m trying to figure out why the story just seems to be going in circles rather than moving forward in any appreciable way. I might have to shelve this one and find a new (or an old) project to work on so I can at least pretend progress is happening career-wise.

My hope is something will shake loose soon and I’ll shift from famine to feast.
