I haven’t made a post in a while. My friends and family keep telling me this. There’s several million reasons why I haven’t posted in a month or so (and I won’t bore you with the details), but one of the biggest deterrents is the niggling thought Who am I to talk about how I do things, if the things I’m doing aren’t working? That thought has bugged me since I started this site. I need to do something about it.

It seems lately everywhere I look, I’m reminded that I haven’t finished anything in a while. So I’d like to complete something this year. It’s not like it’s going to be my book– No matter how much work I pour into it, it always feels like it’s 1/6th complete. I’ve even thought about abandoning this story and moving on to another (Sometimes a vast change is required to inspire movement.) but, no– I can’t do that, either.

So that leaves the short stories. I want to complete at least one of them by the end of this year, to the point where it’s ready for submittal … somewhere.

And the novel … I may have to set a hard date for being finished with my revisions so I have a date to work against. There’s a pretty good way of setting a hard goal and achieving that goal, something called dot-thinking, it can’t hurt to give it a try.
