So I've committed myself to being a serious writer (at least until the next period of deep depression). But here's my problem now: how do you choose what to work on? There is the obvious...a contest to enter over here, a mentorship application over there. But what do I send in? I have numerous manuscripts at this point (all of which could be perfected even more...do they ever come to completion?), not to mention the scores of what I call "half-baked ideas" in my computer, all vying for my undying attention and devotion.
I think that kills my writing time more than any other thing right now. Focus. What to work on. I sit at the computer and look at the intimidating list of files and my brain starts swirling with all sorts of thoughts...gee, my character in that story really needs fleshing out, or the ending in that story is really weak, or does that story fit this publisher...maybe I should reread it for the thousandth time to see....Agggghh!
I'll be hunting for some professional advice on this topic, and any and all comments would be appreciated. Now back to staring at that list....
