Listing my writing projects reminds me I’m not just doing this for myself anymore. Not only are a plaintive agent and a few editors counting on me, I actually have a few hundred readers waiting for me to get my act together.
Writers stop or pause writing for all kinds of reasons. For me, over the last two years, it has been a combo of health, financial, and legal things that I either can’t talk about, or don’t choose to. A lot of the distractions are winding down soon. I know I can’t get through my entire two-year wishlist in six months. So only the first four items on my To-Be-Finished pile are critical for 2014:
