Stagnation

Progress has come to a complete halt.

So, why are we bothering to still blog about it?

Well, that's the value of this blog. If we weren't blogging about our book, the whole project would probably be buried under other priorities right now. In time, we might even forget about it entirely. However, because this book blog is right in front of us whenever we blog about anything, we are regularly reminded that we need to make time for this project. We are still committed to completing this book and bringing it to market.

Also, perhaps someone reading this blog also has a stalled project or two. Maybe this blog post can help us inspire others to revitalize stalled projects. If that's the case, good luck!

Focus!

Many years passed between when we first thought about writing a book and when we actually thought of a plausible topic for that book. Now that we are well into development, suddenly inspiration is plentiful. And because each new idea is exciting, there is a temptation to start new projects while each idea is fresh in our minds.

However, we are resisting those temptations to start any new projects before this first one is complete. While it occurs to us that multitasking may help somewhat with creativity, we are even more cognizant of the fact that multiple, unfinished projects generate zero revenue. Therefore, the prospect of generating revenue more quickly trumps any other literary desires.

That said, we are jotting down notes as ideas materialize. There are no pages, paragraphs, or even sentences, just bullet points so that we don't forget these ideas later.

If you are an author, especially of multiple works, we are curious how you handle multiple, simultaneous inspirations. Please leave a comment!
