Spent the last few hours reading two manuscripts of novels I started and abandoned circa 2008-2010 that I found while going through some old thumb drives. One was a high fantasy (about 11K+ word manuscript) the other a more modern urban fantasy (9K+ words in that ms). Both were rough drafts and very rough around the edges. I even had the annotated ms of the high fantasy with notes form one of the members of a writer's circle I used to be a part of at that time. There is actually potential in both ms, the problem is all I have is the draft ms, I no longer have any of the research notes, outlines, beat breakdowns or any of the other pre-work I did before starting those drafts. Not only do the drafts themselves need a lot of edit and polish work, basically being overhauled completely, I would basically have to start from scratch to redo the research and planning on both as I really can't recall beyond the broadest strokes where I intended to go with either story. I am not sure either is worth that much effort, but both have my head percolating with ideas about them.
The most humorously interesting thing about both ms was how many f-bombs I had characters drop in the dialogue in them. Man I had potty fingers back in the day. It only made sense of one of the characters in the urban fantasy to talk like that, but it didn't stop the characters in the high fantasy from cursing up a storm.
I have a ton of other older files of projects in various states of completion (most of them rpg related not fiction). I am afraid to open and look at some of them (especially the romance novel I started at the urging of my wife who kept sending me open calls for romance novel submissions at the time I was trying to transition from freelancing for gaming publishers to attempting to get published in the realm of fiction. It was a historical set in the Levant during the Crusades and featured my beloved Knights Templar in various supporting roles and had the working title Crusading Hearts. Beyond those two details I can't remember much of what was planned (or have tried to push it all from my memory).
I am not sure if wallowing in these old projects is some sort of mid-life crisis (I can't afford a Corvette or a Harley so I'll wallow in abandoned writing projects, yeah that's the ticket) or my sub-conscious telling me I really need to get back to writing and creating stuff.

I got a nice email from Roy Thomas this morning complimenting my work so far on the book. My favorite part: "I'm glad I recommended you for the job."
Cei-U! I walk on air!

I am enjoying my last week of vacation before going back to work. Friday I came back from a interrail trip where I went to Amsterdam, Bruxelles, Berlin and Hamburg. It took a couple of days to be used to being home again.

SJW ?? that is a MASSIVE* compliment, thank you! sjw = 'social justice warrior'. often a keyboard or youtube warrior with no skin in the game, versus politically correct people who risk losing teeth or gaining scars (i've done both) by physically taking risks to back up fighting against '1950's style neo-con whites and males only' bullpuckey. if you suffer no risk, it's just 'sjw - scoring - points - on - tweety - or - tumblr' to get support in order to score capitalist $ which sjw's complain against. a lot of them sport Harley Quinn and Batman stuff on their clothing, by the way. as they eat fast-food. while railing against 'capitalism'. DC owns Harley, is owned by Warner Brothers, IS capitalist. draw your own conclusions. please feel free to ask me to clarify any term/descriptor i use in any post. any mind which asks a question is a pleasure to know, like yours *or for Confessor, a Massive Attack compliment, which is a 90's indie music joke, in respect to him

As an example: Recently on another site a poster said regarding he was tired of Marvel publishing all these legacy characters and he wished they would go back to just publish the classic characters from the 60-80s. Another poster then replied that while he to was getting tired of every single character being replaced he did not see why it would be such a big deal to have a couple like Ms. marvel( Kamala Khan) on top of the already existing ones. The first one then replied back saying that that was steriotypical SJW nonsense etc. More often then not people use it to describe people who calls them out on their bs to dismiss their point as invalid. I am sorry but if commenting on someones racist/sexist/terrible behaviour is being a SJW then that word literaly has no meaning at all.

I am sorry but if commenting on someones racist/sexist/terrible behaviour is being a SJW then that word literaly has no meaning at all. I COMPLETELY agree with you, and for many, many reasons. 'sjw' as a term is like 'utopia' or 'meritocracy', which in their inception, was a mockery of the humanists by the folks whom kinda love the whole 1800's 'manifest destiny' stuff. which we know was horrible. this 'trend' in public discourse has not abated despite the fact it's provably older than the telegraph. but these days, thanks to social media and sound bytes, the 'quick and easy' definitions hld sway. we can't do anything about that. all we can do is, in comics, or voting, DO something. something with pragmatic effect. like African Americans boycotting the busses and paying the bus tickets to force 'mighty-tighty-righty-whitey' to allow black folks to sit at the front of the bus. you have to make change with EFFORT. Politically correct people put in the effort, have skin in the game. the people referred to as 'sjw', for the most part, have no skin in any game. Kamala Khan is one of my most fave characters in the past 20 years, btw. under different circumstances, i would be honoured to draw or paint her. those circumstances have yet to arrive, though. since i don't see any non-privelaged Pakistani American editors calling the shots on her, as a character.
