I think the reason I have so many projects in the air right now is because of my Attention Deficit Disorder. I start one project then another.
If I can just write 200 words or less each day for each project, I will have them done soon.

Unreading Writers
I'm amazed at how many people are reading this blog--especially compared to the small numbers reading my blovel or web fiction.
All I can figure is that more people want to write the "Great American Novel" (whatever that animal is) than read it.
Not me. I have always found reading much easier than writing--except when I try to bone up on my Spanish by reading books in that language. Ficciones de Jorge Luis Borges. For example.
My problem is, although I have a lot of free time, I wind up reading so much more than I do writing that I don't get much done. At least not as much as I would like to. Stephen King recommends at least a few hours of reading per day along with I can't remember how many words. 1000 I think; half what he does himself.

Because I am Crazy
Why am I working on two pieces of fiction at once plus this blogsite? Good question.
I remember a theater class I took once. The professor, an older actor, talked about what a rough life it was acting and how there was little money in it, when you got down to the facts. (Hollywood stars are the lottery winners of the acting gig.)
I raised my hand and asked him why he chose to act. "Because," he patiently explained, "I'm crazy."
Why am I doing this when there is practically no money and a lot of hard work involved? Because I'm crazy. And I probably have ADD too. :)

Pandamian
Yesterday I discovered a new website where you can publish your ebooks without a great deal of trouble. I published the first chapter of my novel online at sirensong.pandamian.com. I may also try blovelspot as well. If I do, I will be sure to let my followers here know about it. I am not sure what money if any I will make, but that isn't my primary goal as a writer.
