desiresdd17WOW! Talk about overextended!
Yes, I always do these to shock you don't I?
The woman with three muses and of course, the evil one posts the pictures...
*she did it, points finger at BL*
Anyway, tonight, since my update is being done at 10:30pmCST, I'm talking about overextending...meaning doing too much.
I feel like that's what I'm doing to myself. I have 8 WIPs going and now, I need to prioritize because the calendar gets crazy this month...OUCH.
I believe, I have 14 sub calls that I wrote down that I might want to attempt. I think i missed one today, but there are more important ones I'd like to do.
Also, the 8WIPs, only 2 of them had an actual deadline. Closely Guarded my new gay suspense erotica romance and Wild Horses which was for the gay cowboy antho. (Wont make even the new date of july 15th)
The rest I started or have kept doing because the muses were bugging me to do them!
:P The free read, Mi Familia is being followed every week too so there is pressure to get that done.
Hmm, so what have I learned from this?
In the future, write down the synopsis, key details, which I already do but DONT START THE STORY no matter how loud the muses yell!
Unless its for a subcall, leave it alone.
There are other authors who have been able to do many more at the same time but me , 8 is my max... However, when I have subcalls, it should be less!
All the muses will always be busy and something tells me, they wont go away at all.
Update?
8 WIPS! OUCH...
