Project Status Overview





So there’s definitely something in my makeup somewhere that I need to channel better. I like to work on multiple things at a time which, once some kind of equilibrium has been achieved, makes me just as productive as someone who works at the same rate but only focuses on one thing at a time.
But I also seem to have issues sharing things when I’ve finally take them to a final draft status. That certainly needs to be fixed.
Between those two idiosyncrasies, I thought it might be interesting to list all of the book-length projects I have and in what stage of completion.
Some reading this might ask the question: what the frack is wrong with you? Others will pick a different question: why are you spending writing time on a blog post when you have a list this size? Both questions are valid. And we won’t talk about the sheer volume of short fiction I have lying around that I should do something with. We also won’t mention more than in passing that I’m still free to have other ideas.
