I'm at the point in my "career" when I'm trying to get a lot of work out there and circulating. But every time I've tried to do it before, I've faltered. I've only had one manuscript, The Coming Storm, out there on a semi-consistent basis. Leisure/Dorchester, my next destination for Unlocked, needs a synopsis (I hate synopses), City of Sun and Darkness needs another go-through to solidify the theme, but I don't want to lose my momentum of Jecine.
Always before, I've been trying to edit one project at a time. Do a second draft, do something else, do a third draft, do something else, lather, rinse, repeat. Because I'd need to take some time away from the project -- just a month -- but it would extend because I'd be involved in drafting something else ...
And so it went.
Now, I'm trying something different. Rather than going full steam ahead on one project, risking burnout, I've decided to break it up into little projects, that should take about half an hour a day. I've got them prioritized; start at the top and work my way down. Depending on how much I've done that day, I can do one of them or all of them.
So far, it seems to be working. We shall see.
