A chronology of my attempts at creative writings, and my attempts to present those to the world at large (ie selling them)

Writing Plan
Given the choice between doing it fast or doing it right, I now choose to do it right. Which means throwing out everything I've done on I, Fenris and starting over from scratch. And it means hand writing it, just like I did I, Odysseus.

Another Plan, Another Dollar
So, I'd say what's the point of writing another plan except, that's honestly kind of the whole point of this blog.
I think the counsel I received about doing too much was a good thing but doing too little won't do either...so I'm going to focus on one project at a time, but try to work very hard on it while I'm working on it.
Long term, that's not a healthy writing career, but whatever I do now has to shine. *I* have to be proud of it even if or when no one else cares about it, to get my rhythm back if nothing else.
Oh...and no more writing workshops. It was an opportunity to network, but didn't work. I got valuable feedback, but I also got way too much emotional tsunami as well. At this point, I need to be responsible for both creating, promoting and perfecting my craft, because no one else is going to do it for me.
I might have some help along the way, and I certainly have had some help along the way, but they can't do the writing for me.
