The latest tally of books I'm working on: 4.
I know, I know, I need to focus or I'm never going to get any of them done.
The first project is abandoned until I feel inspired to continue the story. I got stuck and too frustrated to make progress, so it's on hold indefinitely.
The second project was humming right along until I started two more.
The third project is a chapter and a half handwritten in the journal I keep in my purse. I was going to type it up and keep the story going until ...
I started my fourth work-in-progress. I had about 27 pages written and then I decided to start over again. Now, I'm at the top of page 16 and the story flows better. I was giving too much background up front and it was getting boring. I decided that I needed to hurry up and get to the more interesting plot points and conflicts that I'm itching to write.
It's great to have all of these ideas going that I'm really excited about, but at the same time there is a certain amount of frustration that comes with that, because none of the projects are anywhere close to done. If only there were 36 hours in a day instead of 24 and I didn't have to work for a living, then maybe I'd be able to finish all of these stories. If only.
