Too many plots... so little time

Piles and piles of notebooks...
In my last post, I told you that I was writing the follow-on from "The Wrong Kind of Clouds". If only that was all I had to be working on! The first round of edits on "Poisonous Minds" (which should be getting published in September) are about to land on my desk; there will be editing for the re-release of "The Wrong Kind of Clouds" (whose current re-publication date is October)... then of course, there is The Guardians Trilogy - an urban fantasy trilogy of which the first two books are written. Having just come back from a holiday on the Scottish Islands, it's quite hard to prise my brain away from that, as the rugged landscape of the islands provided some of the original inspiration for the books.

And then... there is another thriller that's written but which needs re-writing; a book lovingly referred to as "book 3a" which has detailed notes and full chapter outlines already written (but I've not had the time to actually write the thing. Or name it, evidently!); another LB and Summer book starting to crystallise, and a book called "Fault Lines" which is due back from beta readers soon.

What I need is to stop having so many ideas and to clear this backlog! I can't quite see it happening though. Ah well, better to have heaps of ideas than to be suffering from Writers' Block I suppose.
