More saga than Narnia? I'm not sure what that means.
It's not too late to start another long project. :-)
I'm doing better with my writing plans for the year than I thought. The one thing I've completely dropped was the Green Sky idea, but I do mean to get back to it. Probably not this year, though. And I still haven't finished Rapprochement, possibly because it's too much embedded within other stories.
My WIP is the story of Aravis's parents (their courtship and the beginning of their marriage). When I first got the idea, I thought it would be maybe 1000-2000 words of "this is what happened" backstory, but then I decided to flesh it out and now it's 14 chapters (nearly 20,000 words) and about 2/3 finished. Along the way I have had to do a lot of things I hadn't planned on, like draw a map of Calormen and invent Calormene boxing. At least I know where it's going and (more or less) how it ends, and I even have a theory about its overall shape.
