Here's my writing year in review.
Books Completed:
My goal this year was to get three books completed. I was close. If I can get the editing pipeline working better with the drafting and revising pipeline, I should be able to reach three books a year. However, I don't think that's sustainable at this point. I think that two per year will work out better, with the occasional third popping out.
My understanding is that the indie market rewards more frequent publishing, but I just don't have the infrastructure in the place to sustain that, nor the desire. I've worked on speed and the payoff has been grand, but now I need to work on something else. I already know that Swan Song, the final stand of Targa Tik, will be a behemoth. It will be the most ambitious thing that I've written so far. I just don't see how I'll do it justice in 60-70k words.
