I gotta be honest with myself about a few things from a creative standpoint. I think I’ve let my ambitions outpace my abilities, and it’s led to a level of frustration that’s left me unable to create anything.
I have a ton of projects I want to do, but the time my day job leaves me, how tired I often am, how good at drawing I’m not… there are limits I need to acknowledge and accept.
Note: I am not abandoning any of my projects. Everything I intend to create will see the light of day.
Eventually.
That means Bounty: Origins is on hold. As are commissions and my other artwork. And my NaNo fantasy romance project. I will return to these… I just can’t focus on them right now, not at the detriment of everything else.
Priority No. 1? Well, it’s in my Twitter handle… finish Betrayed (Jill Andersen #5). Dec. 4 will mark two years since the last book was released. That’s unacceptable.
Finish Betrayed. Launch the next series after that. And then I can figure out what’s my next step. Focus. Commit. Stop chasing every idea that pokes its head out from the bushes.
Pick a project.
Work.
Finish.
