Picking Your Next Writing Project

It's been busy in the world of the Romantic Writing Diva.  School year winding down, for me and the kids, baseball playoffs, elite soccer tryouts and life in general.  Thus, my blogging and writing have taken a backseat.  Not really intentional.  Sometimes, something has to give.  I don't like to take a hiatus but no choice really.  So, I'm back and I'll try to keep on schedule.

During this time, I've been trying to decide what I want to focus on next.  What project that is.  The ideas still come hard and furious but that makes it harder somehow.  Harder to decide.  Sequel?  Probably not even though my fingers itch to write it.  What would be the point if I don't sell the first?  New ideas too.  I don't know yet which choice will win.  I try to pick for me.  What do I want to write? What would I want to read?  But, sometimes, I get caught up in the wondering about what other people would want.  What are publisher's looking for?  Agents?  Deep down, I know I can't write authentically if I'm not writing for me.  Hopefully, somebody will like it somewhere.

As far as blogging goes, I'll try to post some more about other great blogs I've discovered.  Stay tuned!  I'll also fill you in on my summer reading list.  This is the time of the year when I do the most reading because I finally have time.
